My complaint should be taken with a grain of salt. With the current exchange rate it should be just over $270. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in fact we are financing your low prices! I´m sure the Australians will not take long to chip in about how they are being ripped off too.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I think this set is stunning even though I was hoping for something bigger. Let's hope that the new UCS MF will NOT be smaller even though most 10179 owners hope it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISO8T0 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 That seems so far away...Fine by me. Won't be a 2017 purchase for me anyway. Still waiting on the Ferris wheel to drop in price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 20% off for a while last year. I picked up 28. This set is great, I'll buy with points to build, investment for sure but at least 20% off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandyHand Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 13 hours ago, Val-E said: BTW it is up on SAH and Spain has pole position, pricewise at 206 euros vs 180 in Germany. TLG are certainly making it easy for me not to buy any more large exclusives. Wow, looks like Spain has taken the crown from Netherlands/Belgium regarding highest Euro prices of D2C sets at LEGO Shop at Home ! But at least you have other means to get prices down, like using coupons and such. Something we don't have here in The Netherlands Oh well, there's always the option to take the car and drive to Germany. When the price-difference is so big that the fuel costs for that trip are already negated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Maybe you are right. One thing about such high RRP´s is that no one buys the sets so the discounts end up being deeper in stores if you are patient. Over the past year or so, these have been some of the baseline offers I´ve seen before doing any magic: SOH: 185 RRP 300 FM: 100 RRP 140 The Village: 120 RRP 220 Tie UCS: 105 RRP 200 KWEM: 115 RRP 200 SHIELD: 200 RRP 350 Pretty similar to Galeria in Germany but from a higher starting point.

Then the fact some folks will want it because of the carousel. It will be a winner if it follows the 2-3 year retail lifespan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
