how can this go from 39.99 to 68.

Holiday "supply and demand." Basically when Amazon is out of stock, the prices listed are from 3rd party sellers via Amazon Marketplace and NOT directly from Amazon (even if the order is fulfilled by Amazon). Personally, I think the retail of $39.99 is WAY overpriced for the Lego Friends Pool. However, I managed to snag the sale price of $27.99 a few days ago!!! Walmart.com (site to store is a fab option, and the website is STILL offering the in-store lower price!) and Target.com were both offering this set at that sale price (tho the retail price was actually showing in store) and Amazon offered that price when the item was back in their inventory (as Amazon has been doing with most hot toys). My advice is to save the item you want to your shopping cart and buy when it's at the price you're happy with. You can also bookmark the Amazon page and keep an eye on the price (keep checking throughout the day). Another option is just to get it AFTER the holidays, once all the shopping frenzy has passed!

Fast forward to today and the price just went up from $398 to $598.........but it was only $398 a couple of days ago.

That happened to me also, except the price doubled...from $59 to $108! Sounds like "bait and switch" to me. Good reason to go back to the old system.

YES. The price fluctuates quite a bit. I'm guessing $169 is very close to cost.

Yeah! Just went up again. I will wait till it goes down a bit more. Maybe 50 bucks off retail. If I could only wait 6 months then it would be less than that!

the 1999 price was from 6th Ave and maybe also from Amazon itself, I noticed this as well. The other sellers had it marked higher, so when 6th ave and or amazon sold out the only ones available were higher. (Amazon did not change the price).

Don't be stupid people, Amazon third party people sell it overpriced, there are other places that sell it for 69.99 or less, I can't say because then the resellers will buy it, but LOOK CAREFULLY.

Sad. Was about to buy it at the $1,899. price, which was already higher than before when I started watching this unit. Now it went up $100. Time for me to go elsewhere. Very disappointed in Amazon.

I know what you mean. I had it in my cart for $2,218. When I went to pay for it the next day, it was $2,499.

Its going to about 27.99. It will include tracking too. If its any less I will pass the savings onto you. Thanks!!

There obviously some sort of glitch on this web page. I'm looking at the page now and the price is $249.99

My save and subscribe last month was 10.96. Came up to send it again over 20.00 to purchase. This is ridiculous. They are price gouging. Makes me wonder what type of company Amazon is - get tired of their games and this has happened before. This is worse then the price of gasoline and it's fluctuation.

I saw this set at around 925 to 950 here in amazon about 8 weeks ago, they were having price war with other sellers I thought it was gonna hit 899 but it didnt.

lol I love it, it's already down to $1529.98 on vanns.com from $1799.98 just yesterday. If it's still that price on Tuesday, consider it ordered.

No. $269 must be a mistake. $22.75 is for one. Go to their website if that's true.

I am wondering this as well, as Amazon is said to be the supplier on my pre-order, but now they are nowhere to be found for someone pre-ordering. Mine is at 69.99 as well.

This pricing scheme mostly has to do with a camera special. The price always skyrockets to an exorbitant amount when you are offered a good discount on select lenses when you buy a certain camera(s). After the special is over, the prices go back to normal.$399 was just too ridiculous. The person or program that adjust these prices is whack if they/it thinks someone will pay 25% more than the MSRP. (I wonder how many people actually did... ::facepalm::)
