ThiagoMaster Posted June 4, 2014 What's up guys, how are you doing? My name is Thiago, I'm from Brazil and always were a fan of LEGO. The bad part of living in Brazil is that LEGO here is amazingly expensive... But for my luck I'm going to spend some days in Canada, so I'll buy a lot of lego sets there =D I love collecting minifigures (already have full the lego movie and almost completing series 11). Unfortunately The simpsons collection didn't arrived at Brazil yet. I also love seeing what people do with mindstorms set, I don't have this set yet, but i'll probably buy EV3 when I get to Canada. Anyways, if any of you is from Victoria or Vancouver, give me some tips about where to get LEGO! PS: Sorry for the bad english, I'm working on it! Feel free to warn me when I make mistakes.

fred67 Posted June 4, 2014 Oi Thiago! Welcome to Eurobricks! My wife is from Belo Horizonte, I know LEGO is hard to find there, and is pretty expensive, but that's like most imported things in Brasil. Good luck on your trip, hope you score some good sets.

Milan Posted June 7, 2014 Welcome! How do you plan to bring all that boxes back to Brasil. I mean what about customs fee and all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThiagoMaster Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Welcome to Eurobricks! Thank you! Welcome! How do you plan to bring all that boxes back to Brasil. I mean what about customs fee and all? Well, I can bring US$ 500,00 without paying taxes. I don't know if they really check every LEGO package that I bring. What they check most is electronics (notebooks, smartphones, game consoles and so on). I'm planning to bring the boxes dissassembled and the bricks in small packages, just like they come in the boxes. I really hope that I face no problems xD Also, if I'm luck, they can even not check what I'm bringing at all. PS: I loved your website! I already visit Sariel's website pretty often. You should also create a facebook page, so it's easier to promote your work! Edited June 7, 2014 by ThiagoMaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milan Posted June 7, 2014 I live in Serbia, and before I could use Bricklink (didnt have paypal back then either) I asked my friend to buy me some set in London and bring it to me. He managed to got pretty few sets that way, but only one at the time. Custom guys told him that if he take one or two sets its ok, for more they would need to make custom fees. Good luck!

I have a relatively new Facebook page :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
