<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4803553, member: 19463"]IMHO your issue here should be with Lego. If one dealer is buying all the sets, Lego should be making more sets. If Lego is limiting their sets artificially to make collectibles rather than toys and selling all they are willing to make to be inflated by third party, they are complicit in a matter that would cause me to blacklist them.....PERIOD! I find it ridiculous to buy things that are made to be collected for the purpose of being collected. That includes mint sets, NCLT and any coin that never was spent at face value. This is the ancient coin section of Coin Talk. We buy things that managed to survive the authorities that issued them. Perhaps if Lego were required to bury everything they made for a thousand years, I could see someone, then, paying more than issue price. As it is, the only Legos I like are the ones that can be used to build things and not kits that lose all their value if the package is opened. There is no comparison in the two matters. One is free market; the other, it it is done as you say, is complicit price fixing. </p><p><br /></p><p>+1[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
