Looking at overseas sites and blogs, there has been much written about the upcoming sets and it was noticed that many of the first releases were available and already had reviews posted. This again makes us raise the question of how many months are we behind in having access to the new releases?
We have now done several trips into major centres to get our hands on some of the new lines with no luck! Just a few of the sets we are waiting patiently to get our hands on:
Add to this the list of sets still to launch in the year, the outlook does seem a bit bleak as we are expecting the Rand/Dollar exchange rate (currently 16.47 to 1) to play havoc with local pricing and we may end up having to curb the number of sets on the wish list for the year.
Whats on your wish list for 2016 and what are you looking most forward to? Must admit one of the highlights for us is the Ghostbuster's Fire House; if and when it is available here indications are that it will retail for in excess of R 5 000,00!
Many of the suppliers of the clone brands we visitied of late are attempting to pitch pricing in line with Lego®, who would spend the same money on a "copy"; with the price outlook going forward we will end up only being able to justify buying the "micro" sets!
