The series 1 of the Planet Series sets is finally displayed at Amazon.fr, with a price of 11.90 € which will not please everyone ...

The announced delivery time is 6-9 weeks for now, but we can expect, as usual with Amazon, faster availability.

The price should not decrease until the actual availability, so you can pre-order these sets without delay ...

The 2012 novelties of the Star Wars range appeared on the Lego shop. No surprise, the prices are those expected and it is already possible to find cheaper elsewhere without forcing yourself too much ....

On the other hand, we will note the presence of sets 9494 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor ™ et 9495 Gold Leader's Y-Wing Starfighter ™  in category Hard to find items, which clearly means that these two sets will remain an exclusive to the LEGO Shop for at least some time.

The Star Wars 2012 first wave sets are finally up for pre-order at Amazon, with an in-stock date announced for January 7, 2012.

As shown in this image from the 2012 catalog in the USA, Star Wars sets from the first wave 2012 can be pre-ordered from January 1, 2012 on shop.LEGO.com/preorder with a shipment scheduled for January 30, 2012.

For each pre-order, LEGO is giving away an exclusive 61 x 81 cm poster (bottom right of the image).

Price wise: The Planets sets are $ 9.99, the Tie Fighter at $ 54.99, The Jedi Interceptor at $ 39.99, the X-Wing at $ 59.99, and the Y-Wing at $ 49.99. This will undoubtedly result in us by prices in € higher than the prices in $ as with the Super Heroes range.

LEGO's pricing policy is no surprise. The manufacturer has, on numerous occasions, publicly justified the discrepancies observed between the different distribution zones by transport costs or even distribution costs.

Moreover, LEGO does not hide, like many other manufacturers, to adapt its pricing policy according to the country concerned, on the basis of parameters such as its desire to set up there or to fight against competition ( Hasbro in the USA for example, which is doing very well with its new Kre-O Transformers range).

 For comparison, here are the prices announced by Amazon in France when the products were put online, prices which were then withdrawn:
