How come it is so expensive? On the lego website it is $100 less than this one, but it is currently out of stock

Because they are currently so hard to come by. I think a lot of the ones listed so high are trying to capitalize on a supply and demand thing. In my case, I had purchased it for this amount from an amazon seller last fall, but ended up with two come the holidays.

One place on amazon has it listed at 19.99 and one has it listed for $89. The item numbers and all the details are the same. Am I missing something?

This question is from the end of 2012 (and I don't know why it would cost that much back then), but throughout most of 2015 so far Lego has been "sold out" of it and fewer and fewer stores online are carrying. I don't know yet if it is being discontinued yet, but that is the reason for the current cost of the set.

I would like to know the true answer to this question as well. Only thing I can think of is that kids love them SO much, they decided to make them super expensive for what you're getting so as to make a huge profit margin. I mean, seriously? $1.20 PER TILE?? Seems ridiculous to me. The cheapest per unit alternative I've found is the 100 pc set by Playmags. Even that seems incredibly steep for me at $90... That's most of my budget for Xmas. It's a shame they make them so spendy.... So many more kids could be enjoying them. Any comment on this topic, Magna-Tiles reps?

It is a discontinued item and it cost more to buy when they are just a few left to buy. Are cost goes up to purchase the item. We have two instock and want be getting any more.

Because it's sold by a third party and fulfilled by Amazon. People will try to charge to much because it is demand. I suggest waiting because eventually they will get more in stock at the lower price. I would say check other retailers also.

It looks great & very durable, posing is easy as well . usually figmas range from 60$-90$ so this price is way too high, but as someone stated below me it depends on how much you like the character.

Hi Kim,I agree! This doll is posted everywhere else for $39.99- $49.99. Hasbro says it should be available by Dec 12th.

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. :(

That's a good question. I would contact Lego and see what they say. Let me know. Thanks.

Thanks! Yesterday it was out of stock, and today I checked again and it was in stock so I ordered it. It's for my little cousin for Christmas.I was tempted to get the bundle (monopoly express) but that was like $5 more + $7 shipping so it probably ends up costing as much as the express anyway.This one was 97¢ shipping, total is like $33ish :)

There are two Hapes, one at $98 and one at $117 but the more expensive one has an extra vehicle. It may be that the $130 toy is sold by a different company.

Word is that it is no longer on the site because the new models are supposed to be released soon.I have been watching the price for a while too, and Amazon's is about the best at the moment, though you can watch Slickdeals.net forums for new deals.

OMG! I've just checked it on Amazon and you're right! That's outrageous. I have it in my Saved For Later file and I see that it says the item is no longer available from the selected seller. The price has changed. I won't be ordering it at that price! If you find out what the reason is, I'd love to know. Good luck finding a replacement.

I can't figure it out myself. My son has one, exactly as pictured, and it's a nice toy, but $40 nice not $300 nice. There is absolutely no reason this should be so expensive, unless of course it came with Handy Manny live and in the flesh, and he just appears whenever something around the house is broken and fixes it for you with hassle and at no additional cost.
