LEGO pricing in general has been inflated recently. Flippers and 3rd-party Amazon sellers know this, so they buy up all the stock to resell via Amazon FBA. It's a LEGO bubble right now with a lot of artificial demand.

Stores are even being robbed of LEGO merchandise: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/story-fni0cx12-1226951237939 http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/story-fni0cx12-122...
