When did this change happen? What were the prices before?

Since the dollar and euro are worth about the same now, the prices look to be
the same in both the EU and the US on the Technic sets. There had been some increases
in set prices in the US not too long ago as well, and the Sian was raised about
seventy dollars from $380 to $450.

Prices were updated (that is, increased) 8/1 for the US market and 9/1 for the
EU IIRC - this was announced a while ago.

Seems to be by about 5-6% increase. So the value of my inventory increased with
it.

Thanks Lego.

For those who has been here longer. Is there a link between price increases
on sets to new parts? I understand many sellers purchase and part out so it
would seem a logical connection. Might take a while to happen.

Ugh! That's a bummer because I rely on you wonderful BL sellers to help me
finish out sets so I can sell them. As the set costs go up the parts go up...it's
the circle of life.
