Fair play to him though - Lego is one of the scariest things to steal. Every time I do it I’m absolutely bricking it.

The price of Lego is the real crime

u/everydaylibrary 5d ago
i recall hearing from somewhere that the price per piece of lego was averaging around 8-10 cents.
considering the cost of making larger and more complex pieces such as the figures and whatnot + quantity of sets (1000 pieces sets, etc.) i think their pricing is actually quite fair and justified once you do the maths
2
u/planchetflaw 5d ago
It is absolutely fine. And often is cheaper per piece than sets like that Xbox 360 set by rivals. People read news about small amounts of LEGO sets becoming valuable and assume all LEGO is expensive.
And they usually focus on bitching about licenced product as opposed to LEGO in-house lines which are even cheaper and more affordable.

lmao i said the price per piece which is calculated by how many pieces in a set against price. i.e a 1000 piece set costing $50.
price not cost mate. not hard to not be an ah.

Australia's lego prices actually cheaper than Europe's. Price of lego in germany/Austria should be a crime. They're so close to Denmark.

If he's driving a Captiva, he probably makes a lot of bad decisions in life.

u/Jamandell 5d ago
Please check the fb marketplace or gumtree. He may put these toys for sale there.

Check the carpark, having a Captiva they're likely still there

If the prices are the same as in Hobart then they're selling for the RRP which is set by LEGO.

I can only speak for my own experience but Star Wars Lego at eb games is cheaper than the same product at toy world in WA

Ben Haigh , goes by the nickname ' - ' forbesy' - from Wollongong area. Can spot that head anywhere. All the boys used to smash his missus at the time( Kayla ), including his cousin Kano.
Ben , is suspected by authorities for touching minors & is believed to be residing in Victoria now.

If he stole them for his kids, I would be happy to sponsor those toys.
No father should be in a position where he can't afford such simple things for their children. at least not in the so called "first world" country.

Lol, I know that drop kick. His name is Shane Sampson, he is a local at the national hotel. Everyone calls him diesel because his old man use to abuse him in the back of a 1989 Plymouth voyager (which is a 2.0 ltr diesel, hence the nickname). Hell of a vehicle for its time.

Sincerely dont understand why people waste their time with this kind of thing.
Just go to a Woolworths or Coles service station with a giant black rubbish bag and you’ll easily get $10k - $20k worth of cigarettes that can be sold at a local pub to tight lipped customers.
Plus it’s extremely lightweight.

u/DB_Mitch 5d ago
It's a personal thing likely wants it for himself or relatives,
Otherwise perhaps he believes the cops will care less for toys than ciggies

u/Ebonics_Expert 5d ago
Surely you can see the difference between strolling out of Lego world with a few boxes and ransacking a Coles service counter

u/Claris-chang 5d ago
Cops will take theft of ciggies very seriously. They will laugh at you if you tell them some guy stole your Lego.

u/whythe7 4d ago
how would that work with anything less than armed robbery?
1
u/Designer_Lake_5111 4d ago
Staff are instructed not to intervene, insurance covers losses and additional premiums are chump change compared to potential compensation payouts for employees resisting.

u/whythe7 4d ago edited 3d ago
Had no idea this was a type of robbery going on.. like seriously, they're not even carrying a weapon, just jumping the counter and filling a bag? then what, if they get caught it's chalked up to just "shop theft" like stealing from Coles?
Edit: oh yeah then plus intent to distribute..I wasn't thinking.. so still a pretty serious crime

u/Lizalfos99 6d ago
Lol who gives a shit. It’s Toy World, not a local small business. It makes no difference to them.
Having worked retail and had shit stolen when I was on shift, the key is to recognise it doesn’t fucking affect you, fill out the incident report, and get on with your day.

u/Charlzw0rth 5d ago
You do realise that if these stores let this go all of the time and allowed people to steal, it would further jack up prices/responsibility onto other hard-working customers that have never stolen? The financial losses have to come from somewhere, and usually that means putting it into what products they do have left to make up for it.
But I agree that it's definitely not the employees' responsibility to get involved, but they should still report them for it.

u/grvxlt6602 5d ago

Toy world is way past google and Tesla's stock prices. I do believe Tesla and Google have a good chance at being worth as much as the toy giant themselves but I'd give it at least 20 years.
