so expensive though

someone flickred a spreadsheet he'd put together of recent sets along with their price per piece calculations. (am guessing us dollars given the bloke lives in sacremento). all the cheap sets have a low value, the best value being the $250 (sale price!) taj mahal model with its 5900 pieces (4c a piece, average seems to be about 12c)

there's a big fao schwartz on 59th. this is probably the NYC equivalent of hamleys though.
and apparently there's a big Toys R Us in times square.

NYC has Targets, don't they? Hit up a Target, and you won't have to pay TRU's inflated prices.

We popped in FAO Schwarz yesterday lunchtime; surprisingly little Lego compared to the amount of massive $1000 cuddly polar bears. Saw a Falling Water Lego set in Barnes & Noble but $90 was a bit much.

Odd how Lego is a countable noun in American English and uncountable in British English.

surprised to see series 4 in the supermarket this morning. and they are actually better than the last set
gnome, geisha, bucaneer, punk, frankenstein monster, ice hockey player, viking, footballer, artist, jane torvill!, mad scientist and, rather presciently, a worried looking bloke in a radiation suit.
― koogs, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 09:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Hup, I'd better get on and find the last few from #3 that we want then.
(We have way too many of these for a couple of grown adults. Suggestions on displaying them? They just stand around and get knocked down the back of the desk every time we reach for the phone at the moment. Should probably just get a big-assed piece of flat lego and stick them all on.)
― dimension hatris (a passing spacecadet), Tuesday, 29 March 2011 09:53 (thirteen years ago) link
(i've been buying them and giving the ones i don't like (and some i do) and duplicates to friends' kids)
what are you missing from series 3?
― koogs, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 10:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Well, we're probably missing most of them, but the other half would quite like an alien, and I'd quite like a fisherman.
There are still plenty we don't have and (last seen) plenty left in the Toys R Us I go past every day, it's just we have an unfortunate tendency to end up with repeats of the zombie. Should look into those dot patterns I'm told you can "cheat" with. Or just buy a bunch, since I'm at least vaguely interested in most of the ones we don't have.
― dimension hatris (a passing spacecadet), Tuesday, 29 March 2011 10:14 (thirteen years ago) link
the new ones, i noticed, have a number crimped into the bottom seal as well as the dots. 550B was the sailor...
i have both those btw, but only one of each. my bete noir was the crash test dummy.
