If anything the Falcon is the odd one out. Back in October 2017 the exchange rate was 0.88 £ per euro so 799 euro = £703 but the UK RRP was £649.

The Star Destroyer was £649/699 euro 699 euro back in 2019 when it launched was about £622 (0.89 £ per euro).

Today the its 0.86 and it has been as low as 0.84 which is so 799 euro is £687.

The Brexit impact will have some additional admin cost but we are talking a few £ here and as far as I am aware the regulation the products have to meet hasn't actually changed. The exchange rate has also been all over the place in recent years, as low as 0.91 and as high as 0.84 so there is no doubt some of that built in too.

So the new At-At does feel a bit over priced, perhaps £25-£50 but not close to the £100 you suggest it is.

I told my Mrs last night and she thought it was expensive, I'm sure I got the Falcon on sale at 500 or so from smyths a few years ago, so I'm hoping for a sale at some point. Still have some other big models I want first.
 
They’ve steadily been increasing the bigger sized models and are targeting adults while still having the kids factor. It’s a pretty good strategy, especially if they can get family builds going.

Take up so much bloody room though.
 
Heads up that the mini tumbler with scarecrow is £25 free click and collect from Asda George site.

saw it in store yesterday and thankfully didn’t bite. Was a set I was hoping to get for Christmas and couldn’t resist at that price.

So tempted, but my son already has to old batmobile and he's getting quite a lot for Christmas already. Plus I'd then have to get my daughter something else:p.

Been out of stock since earlier today.
 
The 76239 minifig tumbler scarecrow showdown set is £25 in asda stores now, nationwide offer. Just picked one up as a spare as that's a great price in case any of you were on the fence.
 
Bought myself the UCS A-Wing as a treat for Christmas before it's retired. I'm also seriously contemplating grabbing the Falcon as well. :o Not told the wife yet.
 
Went on the Lego site.

Basket now has just under £2700 worth of Lego in it...... And thats without 1989 Batmobile

DeLorean, Ecto1 and the Batmobile are the holy trinity of nerd cars, would love all 3

As long as the Delorean is released as 10300 in April, that's my birthday sorted and the holy trinity of nerd cars sorted.

Question is do I need to add the fourth (Tumbler) or just make do with the Scarecrow version?
 
Is the architecture theme pretty much dead?

There are 12 sets listen on Lego.com but only one of them came out in 2021 and 5 of them are sold out, presumably retired this year.
 
I think tomorrow might be quite a hit to the credit card!

Will probably get Batmobile if in stock in store, there’s plenty of other sets I want as well if it’s not available! Could easily spend a grand :(
