Not only does it allow LEGO fans to develop their creativity and problem-solving skills, it can also offer an escape into a whole new world. Building worlds with LEGO can mean escaping into the far-flung reaches of outer space with Star Wars, seeking out the darkest corners of Gotham City with Batman, or discovering the magical realm of Hogwarts with Harry Potter. The possibilities are almost endless – and the promise of each new world is defined and limited only by the LEGO constructor’s imagination. In creating these worlds, lovers of LEGO not only have the enjoyment of building and constructing, they also have something tangible that they have created, something that they can be proud of once the project is finished. Whether it’s a battle-ready space ship or an indestructible castle, these LEGO sets can be so intricate, they can almost be thought of as works of art. Indeed, they are a project, a creation, an achievement.

Below is a list of 18 different items with their prices in Kuwait as well as their prices on Amazon. LEGO Star Wars 75095 Tie Fighter LEGO Star Wars 75059 Sandcrawler LEGO Star Wars 10240 Red Five X-Wing Starfighter LEGO Star Wars 75054 AT-AT Building Toy LEGO Minecraft 21118 The Mine LEGO Pirates 70413 The Brick Bounty LEGO Architecture 21019 The Eiffel Tower LEGO Architecture 21017 Imperial Hotel LEGO City Police 60068 Crooks’ Hideout LEGO City Police 60047 Police Station LEGO City Space Port 60080 Spaceport LEGO Creator Expert 10220 Volkswagen T1 Camper LEGO Creator Expert 10246 Detective’s Office LEGO Creator 10232 Palace Cinema LEGO Mindstorms EV3 31313 LEGO Technic 42039 24 Hours Race Car LEGO Technic 42030 VOLVO L350F Wheel Load As you probably noticed, the prices in Kuwait are double that of Amazon and in one case triple. It’s pretty ridiculous considering this is an official store. One of my readers made the extra effort and contacted LEGO to complain about the prices.
They replied to him with the following: Thanks for getting in touch with us. I’m sorry you’re not happy with the price of LEGO® sets in Kuwait. We know we’re lucky to have so many loyal LEGO fans around the world and we’re always pleased to get feedback – especially when it’s about how we can improve. Finding the right price for a toy isn’t easy and depends on a lot of considerations. To name a few, our marketing team looks at statistical data about a country’s population, transportation costs, currency exchange rates, local laws and taxes and the prices of other toys. No two countries are exactly the same, so the price may be different from country to country. Futhermore, to date we do not have any official LEGO® stores in the either Kuwait and Dubai. Therefore, it is not the LEGO group who have set the prices in the particular stores you are referring to, but the individual stores themselves Please let us know if you need anything else. What do they mean they don’t have an official LEGO store in Kuwait?
My guess is the customer support person hasn’t been updated on new store openings. In any case, based on their response I’m guessing the reason LEGO costs twice as much in Kuwait is because people here can afford to pay that much. There are marvelous sets for just about anyone, from car buffs to Star Wars junkies to superhero fans. And you won’t find them in Barnes & Noble stores—they’re available online only.
