    10179 UCS Falcon Pricing

    Hello. I thought about it after reading a post at bricksetforum.com from a guy who had done it. I contacted him (to get some advises) and some bricklink seller and all of them told me that it would be much more expensive than buying the set, even the guy at brickset (he lives in New Zeland, I think, and told me that he didn't know the exact amount but clearly he had spent more than 800 euros including the shipping costs; he expected my cost would me less as I live in Spain) So 350 euros sounds great! I've to say I had the set in my hands twice last year (in different shops) and did't buy it (600 euros was the price then...) I regret not doing so... I even thought about buying both of them, keeping one and selling the other (not seriously, just crossed my mind) At the actual prices, mine would have been for free. Regards
  2. Good morning from Spain. Another one... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Star-Wars-Millenium-Falcon-10179-NEW-/150657430532?pt=UK_Construction_Toys_Kits&hash=item2313e1f404 and, of course, one negative feedback (only one? I'm glad to hear people don't relay on them) "FRAUD EBUYER DO NOT HAVE LEGO SET 10179 NOW PAYPAL DISPUTE OPEN" I've seen this scam all around the web. I contacted one of them and asked him if I could pay once the set was received (COD says google translator) as I was not going to pay 350$ to someone only because he said he was going to send me the set 10179 (it's not safe; he can send you 10 kg of Duplo and you can't open the package until paid, but in any case I was sure he would say it wasn't possible...). He answered that all he could do was send it to me once I'd paid 200$ and then I would have to pay the 150$ left because he had been scammed in the past. Of course I didn't even answer him (in fact I don't know why I wrote him in the first place...) As they said in Hill Street Blues, "Let's be careful out there" Regards

    Bricklink Trusted Sellers list

    Good evening. I've bought 7-8 times on bricklink (to shops all around Europe) and I've to say it was not always a good experience. The first time the seller put a wrong address and didn't give me the track number (I was lucky I was able to pick it up at the post office before they send it back). On another occasion a couple of the animals I bought were damaged (the seller sent me a new ones). And one time there were several missing piezes (the seller -not the same as before- sent them too) So, althought all of them seem to be good and have a lot of votes, you have to be careful. Yes, everytime I end up receiving everything but not before having to complain to the seller and wait, wait and wait... If I had to recommend one it would be L'Hoth Shop: good prices, fast shipping and reliable and friendly seller. You can be sure you're going to get what you paid for, and really fast. I hope this can help someone. Regards Rick Deckard
