Over the weekend, my son who is really into Legos wanted a new set. So I shopped online to find best price on the particular set he wanted. So we went to a nearby Walmart brick-and-mortar and found the Lego set he wanted on shelf. I found an employee and showed them the online pricing from my smartphone. and do the free pickup option in the store to get the lower price.My son and I stood there and watched as a different employee came a few minutes later, picked the item up off the shelf, and brought it back to the holding spot for pickup.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the confirmation that it was available for pickup until the next day! So I had to go back the next day to pick it up!! That's *not* good customer service. But here's what you need to know. has been completely separated from pricing at Walmart physical locations. has become an aggressive price competitor, while the Walmart prices at physical stores are not. is also using dynamic demand pricing like the airlines, so the price of an item goes up and down like a yo-yo based on demand. Amazon, meanwhile, is raising prices and counting on Prime members who historically don't comparison shop to continue that pattern. If you are a Prime customer, know you probably aren't getting the lowest price. If you're just into convenience, that's fine. But if you care about prices, you need to comparison shop. Amazon is now being underpriced in category after category. you make the choice.LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3product_label_list_price_accessibility 30 Reviews12345678910111213141516171819201Warning!

LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 Reviews - page 2 LEGO Ideas Second 2016 Review Results As we mentioned in our blog post early this month, we were running a little behind schedule as we were still finalising the results of the Second 2016 Review Results. But the wait is officially over! Over the past several months, the LEGO Review Board has carefully reviewed 12 fascinating projects that reached 10,000 supporters between May and September 2016, our second review qualification period of 2016. Lise, our Marketing Manager, shares the results: A big congratulations to 20tauri on becoming the next official LEGO Ideas fan designer! As a science editor and writer, with a strong personal interest for space exploration as well as the history of women in science and engineering, Maia Weinstock’s Women of NASA project was a way for her to celebrate accomplished women in the STEM professions.
In particular those who’ve made a big impact through their work at NASA. We’re really excited to be able to introduce Maia’s Women of NASA set for its inspirational value as well as build and play experience. Design, pricing, and availability We’re still working out the final product design, pricing and availably for the Women of NASA set, so check back on LEGO Ideas in late 2017 or early 2018 for more details. Still considering Voltron - Defender of the Universe The LEGO Review Board is still considering the Voltron - Defender of the Universe project by len_d69. Our final decision will take a little extra time, and we’ll share an update in the Third 2016 Review Results announcement. Next Review Results Summer 2017 The next batch of LEGO Ideas projects are already in review. We’re considering these projects that reached 10,000 supporters between September 2016 and January 2017 as possible future LEGO sets. We’ll share results of the Third 2016 LEGO review period in the summer of 2017.
One of the world's leading toy brands - LEGO. You know it and love it, the plastic construction toy that all construction toys aspire towards. We've got all the range right here! Creator, Duplo, Minifigs, Mindstorms, Minecraft, Technic and more! LEGO Bricks & MoreLego sets come in all different sizes with different numbers of Lego pieces. Of course bigger sets cost more, but is there a linear relationship between set size and cost? Let’s take a look. Oh, and yes – I did look at this before, but that was a long time ago. It’s time to revisit the data. It’s not too difficult to find data for Lego prices and number of pieces. If you just look on the Lego online store. There you can find both the price and the number of pieces for each set. You can even sort them by “themes” – like “Star Wars” or “friends” Even though it’s easy to get, I only collected price data for a subset of the themes (mostly because I am lazy). If I put all of this data together, I can get a plot of the set price vs. number of pieces in set.
Here is what that looks like. Let’s look at the linear function that fits this data. The slope of this line is 0.104 US Dollars per Lego piece. There is your answer. On average, one Lego piece costs 10.4 cents. Also, I think it’s nice to notice that this data is fairly linear.What about the y-intercept for this fitting function? The value from the fit is 7.34 USD. That means that for this function, if you had a Lego set with zero pieces in it, it would still cost $7.34 – you know, for the box and instructions and stuff. Yes, I know that there are Lego sets cheaper than $7.34 – this is just the y-intercept for the fitting function. Now let me point out the three outliers in this plot. Notice that all of these (one from Duplo and two from the City theme) are train sets. Of course train sets are going to be more expensive than a set with the same number of pieces (but not a train) because of the electric motors and stuff. If you are looking for a “good deal”, might I suggest the Trevi Fountain (21020).
This set has 731 pieces for just $49.99. According to the fitting function, a set with this many pieces should cost about 83 dollars. Suppose I break all the data into the different themes. If I fit a linear function to each of the different themes, I can get both the price per piece of Lego and the price of a zero piece set. Here are the brick prices for some of the Lego themes. The error bars are the uncertainties in the fit parameters. If you know what a Duplo block is, you probably aren’t surprised that they are the most expensive (63 cents per brick). These are bricks created for smaller kids. They are all large so that you can’t swallow them. It just makes since that they would cost more. The other expensive bricks are the City sets. But this is deceiving due to the high set prices of the train kits. I suspect if you removed these train sets from the plot, it would be a more normal price. What about the base cost? This is the y-intercept of the linear fit.
