Why is this so expensive when it was like $35 at the Lego store?

There r fees that have to be paid to Amazon when you sell on Amazon. Also ours is a first run print boxes.

This is a popular set and is sold out at the LEGO store and most retailers. As supply dwindles and demand remains, the price will go up just like it does on most other collectibles and LEGO sets.

I am wondering the same thing. I think the Lego brand is trustworthy, however, so I am going to order this set. If it is not the same (I will check at the Lego store), I will send it back. Worth the effort. Great price.

It's from a reseller. Someone bought them and now that they are backordered at Amazon, they are raising prices.I bought 2 at Hot Topic today for $19.99 so they are available there!Borders will also have them for $24.99 but not sure when exactly.

Really it's just preference: How many pieces, size, design, etc. One of the biggest deciding factors for me is what minifigures the set comes with. Also you might want to check when the set gets retired. If it gets retired soon it will increase in price/value/availability pretty quickly afterwards. Also another big thing is if a set is currently kn sale. You can save a lot and get more Lego if you pay attention to sales. I hope this helped you out!

I don't know why, but the going rate for Legos on Amazon tends to jump more than other brands in December.

That's a good catch. I never noticed it's listed at $154.99. Owning a couple I do know that the figurines are pretty cool.

Nope it's just a box with legos in it. You can find a small box here on Amazon as well with more legos for around $20 and the legos that come with this and that will all fit in that box.

It's sold out everywhere I was lucky and got mine for $15 with free shipping the week of the game coming out, otherwise right after it shot up to $75. Best Batman figure I've seen in a while honestly so I'm not surprised its worth alot even out of the box like mine is. :)

As Lego sets go it's a pretty decent value. It has multiple mini figures, a structure and a "vehicle" for the mini figures. My nephew likes to construct a set from the included instructions, deconstruct and then reconstruct in different configurations, sometimes reverting to the original (if he can find all the pieces.) He has many sets and they all tend to end up mixed together after a while. It's his favorite toy. You really can't go wrong with Lego. Even his older sister likes to build with them.

They sell them on Newegg.com for 35.00 shipped, this price here is crazy now.

I am sorry if I sound cheap but I feel the the price of $576 is outrageous! I got the game, it was $19.99 at Wal-mart. Even if I had got it at Toys-R-Us, the price would have been less the $35. I have had it for seven years now and it still works well but the screen is starting to deteriorate. I know one thing. I would not pay more than $50, or $40 for a new one. Dee

people buy them up in store and sell them to make a profit which is why we don't have them yet. There is an abundance for sale all over the internet, just not for the actual price. It was already a little more than the others in the animator collections so I decided we will wait until the fuss dies down to get ours. No way will I pay 3x the price. The lady I spoke to at the disney store said you have to get there fast after a shipment or else they are gone. :(

I bought this at Walmart yesterday for 34.99. Price is way to high on here!

It is expensive now because it is Retiring - LEGO website is out of stock and this likely will no longer be in production and will become increasingly rare. The price is only going to continue to increase as the supply dries up.

these are from Disney and the Pirate Ship is made by Fisher-Price, so it is not going to be made for it. There some figurines made by Fisher-Price for the shipp and you can find them in smaller packages, and buying them all will be more expensive (http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Disneys-Jake-Never-Pirates/dp/B006HCVT5U/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid;=1386557913&sr;=8-8&keywo;rds=jake+pirate+ship).
