Why is lego batman so much?

Post by Everybody » Sun Dec 19, 2010 10:07 am

I googled it in the shop category and found some for 300 400 and 500. But then there were some for like 10. Any thoughts?

LEGO Batman is generally priced highly because of simple supply and demand. There is greater demand than there is supply, so the prices are high - Economics 101.

Ya I know but why are some of the sets listed as 300 dollars and others are listed at about 10 dollars?

Which ones are listed at $10, and where? Are they NIB sets, or are they used? Are they even complete?

They were not very widely released, and there is not a large quantity of the sets->more money.

Okay, I never used Google Shopping before. The reason you see a $10 listing is because it shows you the lowest price in that category at first. If there are more items to view, as is the case under Amazon.com, you then expand the view to see the other prices, as is seen in the screenshot I have uploaded. The $10 listing you are seeing is for the Harley Quinn figure only, as sold at Amazon via the reseller Brickpeople - this is inaccurate, though, as the price is actually $12.95 when you get to Amazon through this method.

Anyway, I'm locking this topic, as the question has been answered, and there's nowhere this discussion can go from here.
