Prices of LEGO products are set to be go up due to various factors and increases in materials and transport.
At the moment it seems that the larger and more complex sets are speculated to rise in price and be the worse affected. For more details please read the below statement issued by LEGO. We expect more details on this matter soon, so watch this space.
Official statement:
The current global economic challenges of increased raw material and operating costs are impacting many businesses.
Putting consumers first is at the heart of what we do as a company, and for some time, we have absorbed these costs to keep pricing stable. However, as these costs have continued to rapidly rise, we have taken the decision to increase the price on some of our sets. This increase will come into effect in August and September.
The increase will differ depending on the set and prices will change on around a quarter of the portfolio. On some sets we will not alter price, on others there will be a single digit increase and on larger, more complex sets the percentage increase will be higher.
We will continue to work to ensure our products offer great value and full recognise how important this is to our fans and everyone who love our products.
