Dfenz Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Where in Europe do I find the best prices on Lego sets ? I don't think its in Denmark even if Lego is here. This question is perhaps impossible to answer on a general basis. I travel from Ireland to Germany a few times a year and before I travel I normally compare the euro prices on LS@H as a guide to what I might be able to source in Germany from the Lego store or park (near Munich). Typically, but not always the southern european states or Germany have the lowest prices but the LS@H pricing tells only part of the story. Many retailers sell sets at a discount to LS@H even ignoring special sales. In Ireland for example the largest toy store regularly is cheaper than Lego itself. For example star wars battlepacks or toy story green soldiers are currently 11.99 but large supermarket retailers such as Tesco have offered sets for 9.99 euro in recent months. The LS@H price for battlepacks in Ireland is 14.99. You can't generalise except where Nordic countries are concerned. Everything seems more expensive up north! And then there is the exchange rate with sterling. For the past few years the UK has been the cheapest place to buy large sets by a long shot. Check out the pricing on some of the largest star wars or exclusive sets on LS@H UK! For that reason many Irish customers have been getting exclusive products shipped to Northern Ireland. The exchange rate has begun to swing back in recent months so the price differential may be less than it has been. Anyway, if you are doing a price comparison, I'd start with LS@H and change the country settings but remember it may be cheaper in the bricks and mortar shops.
ironjaw Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Bilka does have some good discounts once in a while but yes it kinda hard finding cheaper prices in Denmark. If you do get to know some places especially in DK please do share your insight

supersympa Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 it is a tricky question... I recently bought the caroussel in legoshop london bluewater, with the currency rate, that was almost a 40% discount to Sweden and 25% discount to Euro prices... but for others, like the imperial ship, i found it cheaper in France... and last week the 7747 wind turbine was 50% in TRU sweden, roughly 30 euros...a bargain... so basically, what i am trying to say, it is a hunt to find the best deals! it is worth it i think on expensive sets like caroussel or imperial. Then you need friends, connection or travel yourself to find those deals.
