Uh, excuse me, but who gave permission for Amazon to slash the price of new Lego Pokemon sets? I mean, I'm not complaining, but still. Seeing as everyone's gone nuts for the newly-revealed kits and they're not even out yet, I wasn't expecting a discount so soon.
You can currently get a small but respectable saving on both Lego Arcanine and Munchlax in the UK, bringing them down to a record low (which isn't hard, seeing as these Lego Pokemon sets were only announced last week). Seeing as both take cues from Lego Eevee, AKA one of the best Lego sets, that's even more noteworthy.
Unfortunately, none of the other newly-announced Lego sets (the Polly Pocket-style Poke Ball diorama, Rayquaza set, or Red Up-Scaled Minifigure) are on offer. This abrupt discount does mean I'll keep a much closer eye on them going forward, though.
Plus, I suspect most fans will be happier with these being given an early price cut anyway. They started out at a much more affordable level to begin with, and because one of the most consistent criticisms of Lego Pokemon thus far has been high costs, that's gonna turn heads.

I'd hoped for a discount on these kits at some point (perhaps in the autumn, around Black Friday time), but this soon? Phew.
What do you think? Will you be grabbing either of these new kits? What with the leaked Lego Donkey Kong set, Nintendo fans are eating good this week...
