Beautiful! I particularly love the way you've played with height across the layout so it doesn't appear to be flat, an aspect I am particularly interested in exploring when I finally get around to putting together my own layout.

Received the early access email to purchase 10232 Palace Cinema from the Lego site for $199.99, a nice drop from the usual $250. anybody know if this is going to be the standard price or are we actually getting a good deal? Obviously the cost of shipping makes this ordinary if its priced at $200 once it hits DJ's and you wait for a 30% off sale..

Mill Village Raid 7168 for only $57.60 @ BIG W, online only. Beerluminati posted on the Whirlpool lego forum that the same set is available in store at Kmart for $49

Big W has 7498 Police Station for $80 online today. Link

I too am very interested to see how this progresses. One question though,why did you chose to locate your turntable so far from the switching yard? I would've though it better to locate it closer to the entrance to the yard to enable easy access to your rolling stock.

You could check Brickset for the amazon.fr posts to see what's coming through a special. I use Google reader to capture the Brickset feeds and just review anything they've posted before looking at the Amazon site. They have the same feeds for US, UK & Germany as well.

After successfully ordering from amazon US I've now tried my hand at amazon.fr ordering Mill Village Raid and Winter Village Toy shop for $130 delivered.

Order took 10 days to arrive. It was packed inside another slightly larger box with some scrunched paper to stop it moving around. The whole thing arrived in perfect condition (both the outer box and the lego box inside) other than a small knock on the corner of the Diagon Alley box that looks like it is shelf wear and didn't occur in transit. Overall I am very happy with the way its arrived.

I ordered 1 x Diagon Alley on the 10th and it shipped the same day. Total [price shipped including my credit card conversion fees etc made it ~$185. The pet store and the holiday line are the ones I am really chasing so hopefully they allow those shortly. Totally forgot about the Black Friday sales. Better start saving.

Beautiful layout. Here in Australia it is difficult to justify the cost of bricks for a brick built road but your solution to the boring sidewalks is very inspiring.

Use of the word demand in my post doesn't denote in the slightest how the conversation would play out so please refrain from calling other posters "ignorant".

Still showing as $58 on thew page this morning. If you are in a store that has stock I'd load it up on an iphone or similar and demand it at that price.

Over an hour and it still hasn't appeared in my orders list on the site. Doesn't look hopeful. I Guess I should have processed my order faster instead of continuing my stroll through the site looking for other markdowns.

Certainly did, 2 of them. but let's hope they ship..

Kings Castle 7946 currently $58 at BigW online + $4 shipping.
