  "account": "Despite being recently retired, the LEGO Icons Transformers Bumblebee set remains available on Amazon at its original price of $89.99. This sets it apart from most retired sets that typically come with a price increase upon re-entry onto the market. Given the opportunity to purchase this set at its MSRP, one might consider it a once-in-a-lifetime chance to do so.\n\nCombining the world of LEGO and Transformers, this particular Bumblebee build offers the best of both realms.

If one is interested in expanding their LEGO Transformers collection, the Decepticon Soundwave set is currently on sale for $163.99 - a $25 reduction from its original price. Not only is Soundwave much larger, containing 1,505 bricks, but it also comes with additional figures - brick-built Ravage and Laserbeak. Moreover, Soundwave includes voice and sound effects, making it one of the first LEGO sets to incorporate these features before the SMART Play bricks were introduced.",

It isn't on sale, so you'll still see at its sticker price of $89.99, but it's not every day you see a retired set in stock at big retailers without some sort of mark up. If you're interested in picking up this set at MSRP, this is likely your last chance to do so. LEGO Icons Transformers…",
