yes, but you are forgetting 7237 police station. when it came out it was retailing for $50. after 1 year, TLC raised it to $70.timber_wolf899 wrote:yes they did it with dwar4f mine, BUT
Remember dwarf mine went from a limited to a universal release as well. SO perhaps the low price was part of the target deal for the exclusive.
Since 10193 is not going to a larger release, i do not see this happenng.
there were a few more sets which also increased price that weren't target exclusive. i think the popularity of DM made the price increase visible to most...but it has happen with other sets as well.

Another reason for price increases can be attributed to the size of the production run. I remember 7905 Building Crane was US$50 when it first came out, but when the first, larger production run sold out, they made a second batch. There were fewer made in the second batch so they had to increase the prices to US$70 or so in order for the set to remain "profitable".
Remember, when the production machines are making parts for set X, they aren't making parts for set Y (which is why sets from a particular year try to share as many common parts as possible)...

Received mine yesterday, put some of it together last night and finished the rest tonight. I was totally and completely impressed with the whole thing. The selection of parts is great, the details are fantastic, and I love the minifigs. I couldn't figure out what the brown carrots were until I got to the end of book 1, pretty funny!
My only two gripes are that the box was pretty smashed up, but none of the pieces were broken. That's more UPS's fault than anything. Also one of the dark brown "spyglass" pieces was missing and somehow I ended up with a gold one instead. I tried going through the customer service online and they must not have 10193 entered into their system yet to report missing pieces. The page said it couldn't find the set, so I had to manually explain what happened.
Seems like a number of people have been having problems with missing pieces from the MMV, I've bought tons of stuff from S@H and only ever had this happen once before (although they were very good about sending me the missing pieces with no questions asked).
Overall, I'm extremely pleased with it and it was well worth the money spent.

I know where I live 3-8 bus. days means 8-12 bus. days.
But somehow I get the sense that posts regarding shipping isn't exactly the point of this set discussion board.
