stephen_rockefeller Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 BrickUltraI'm not aware of a set that retails for 1,000.00 Maybe he is referring to sets in the secondary market?? In that case he would be surprised to learn that many sets carry this price tag.......and his mind would be blown if he saw the current market value of the 10179. Also is there a set with around 100 pieces going for 60.00?? Maybe in Europe lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegoPodcaster Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 There is a great thread over on Brickset that discuses how terrible this article is. I would highly suggest reading through it. The article doesn't even answer the question it asks. http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/8267/why-are-legos-so-expensive-story-on-npr#latest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
