Buying Privileges - OK
My seven year old son and I have been collecting the new wave of Jurassic World
Sets since they hit the shelves a while back. I had purchased all of them except
the two "expensive" sets (76949 & 76950). I was at Walmart yesterday and again
walked by those two sets on the shelf thinking that I would pick them up in another
week or two... Yesterday the price stickers on the shelf showed 76949 @ $129.99
and 76950 @ $79.95. I happened to again be at Walmart today, and obviously found
myself down the Lego isle. I glanced at those two Jurassic World sets and noticed
the pricing had changed... The stickers now show 76949 @ $140.00 (Increase of
$10.00) and 76950 @ $100.00 (Increase of $20.00). While we all knew this price
increase was coming, I would have liked it to wait until it was convenient for
me . Luckily I had both of those sets in my online cart and the price their
hadn't changed so I ordered them. I'm sure there were other increases
as well but those two sets were the only ones I noticed...

Gotta love the "discounts", the sale prices will still be more than past MSRP
. The silver lining in this situation was that... technically, I saved about
$30.00 on these sets so naturally I had to use those saving on another set .

Eh, I didn’t buy that million dollar house.  That’s lots of saving I can use
to buy LEGO!

Well, I don’t have the money on my account, so something must be wrong.  I need
to call my bank!

No problem. Just use your check to cover the negative balance

Yeah, I've seen the list of the sets they plan to increase the prices, and
there are a lot. (also there are some they are lowering the price of if I'm
remembering correctly?)

It was in a private (and not free) community and I don't know if I'm
allowed to share it.

Based off of this link, interesting to see that some of the limits have been
raised.
