Why is the Queen set so much more expensive?

It's larger than most queen sets I've seen, easily goes to the floor on all sides. Well worth the price in my mind because I like it so much!

I just figured the king was on sale. These bedspreads are worth the money... They are so much longer than most bedspreads unless you have a really tall bed a queen would fit a king.

ps I just wanted to add that Webkinz Signature animals have gotten very expensive and are in high demand; that is probably the reason for the high price.

It does about that much for mine. I suppose if you want more then order a size up. I have a queen as well and am very happy with the size and quality

Its like you guys are speaking after my own heart. I totally feel the same way. I was about to pull the trigger on this set and boom another 200 dollars... Ouch. Unless this set drops to the 2168 it was at or lower I'll be taking my business elsewhere. What were you thinking Amazon ???

Yes, but it costs $15.00 more per set. Thanks for the questions, I hope this information helps.

It's priced at $460 for me. The king size is almost $100 cheaper. I was just about to buy it before the jump. I suspect they have low inventory, but I only base that on Walmart being sold out. Thankfully, there are lots of other options on Amazon and Walmart has it close to the original Amazon price.

Probably due to the packaging---are you getting the King or Queen? I believe it's wrapped tightly and condensed, which is why it seems so heavy. They are fantastic! Even in the cold New England winter, though it is thin, still very warm!

Are you familiar with the concept of supply/demand? This set retired recently and is getting scarce in places. The set was available retail for over a year. Didn't buy it during that period? Then pay the premium that is being charged for it now. Or don't. After all, this is a luxury item, not a necessity.

WoooooooooW $168?! You're right... this is tooo expensive. I only paid like $65 for it in May of last year. I'm assuming it's expensive because you can't get it anywhere anymore. I would try ebay. Don't know where else to look. Sorry

From everything I can tell from comments & the product description, its just that you are 'paying' for the big one and getting the little one 'free.' Since it specifies that its a Buy One, Get One Free SET, and not Buy One Set, Get One Set Free, it seems to be a marketing ploy to make it look like a particularly good deal.[I have not bought these however, so I can't confirm this from personal experience.]

I would like to know the true answer to this question as well. Only thing I can think of is that kids love them SO much, they decided to make them super expensive for what you're getting so as to make a huge profit margin. I mean, seriously? $1.20 PER TILE?? Seems ridiculous to me. The cheapest per unit alternative I've found is the 100 pc set by Playmags. Even that seems incredibly steep for me at $90... That's most of my budget for Xmas. It's a shame they make them so spendy.... So many more kids could be enjoying them. Any comment on this topic, Magna-Tiles reps?

Quite likely to be just economies of scale...more people might need a queen over a full size and that will bring the prices down for that size generally..

Because the K series is way more expensive. I usually play punk rock. Now I have a Thrice cover band and this A set is very good!!!

Wait for Amazon to drop their price on the set. (they will) Be patient though, it just came out today. :)

I noticed the same thing. It's a popular toy, but this price is double what it was in stores and online when it was available.

Sorry, I have no idea why the black model is more expensive than the red. Could be the provider of the black paint is greedier.

It was not twice the cost of all others when I bought it or I would not have. Lets be real here. I cant see any advantage that would justify the cost. If I was shopping today I would buy the Black and white 5614 set. It has flashing lights and 2 figures.
