We've received notification from our LEGO rep that the US price has been incorrectly listed on their press release. Its suppose to be $119.99 instead of $99.99.

Nice to see Canadian prices getting a little closer to US prices! Looking forward to building this!

LOL - Americans see this news of an upward price adjust as rightly annoying, but we Canadians see this correction as good news because it makes our price not seem so ridiculously inflated in comparison. We're a bunch of evil beavers. :lol:

$120 for 1322 pieces is still below the 'golden ratio'. It looks really cool, but I don't see myself buying this.

Oh well. I'll still be pairing this with a Shuttle Expedition in a TRU BOGO.

I find this one is more interesting as a set than the VW Beetle of 2008. $119USD vs $129CAD, may not be worth a road trip to the USA.

This sounds like a good idea, pairing it in a BOGO but I'm still OK with the slight price increase given the amount of details inside that looks amazing and great.

Does anyone know what stores it'll be available in? Or will this be an exclusive of some sort?

If it follows the patterns of other exclusives, it will probably be exclusive to Lego Stores/S@H for a while, then it will be sold in TRU (also online).
