Yeah, they're pretty sad offers. I also got this gem via email last week when I tried to order some stuff to my US reshipper (Shipito): "Dear Alex, Thank you for your recent order, YXXXXXXX. In an effort to protect personal consumer information, LEGO Systems, Inc. has elected to no longer process shipments to Third Party Shipping Vendors.

Sincerely, LEGO Systems, Inc. Consumer Services" Gee, thanks for protecting my " personal consumer information", there I was thinking that I just don't like paying through the nose for LEGO

My local Toyworld had the Town Hall at 30% off at the weekend, so I got that for $252. I actually went in for one of the Hobbit sets though.

Excellent review, I appreciate the time and effort that went into it. My wife, a big creator fan, can't wait till she can get her hands on this set. (Which might be a while since we live in NZ )

Whohoo, my "may 4th" package arrived today

I believe so. I did two orders and both show the droid.

Took me long enough, but I signed up and voted

Yeah, I'd like to know that too, is Fishpond actually usable for LEGO purchases now? All I ever heard about their service was horrible

Hmmm.. That might be a good way to get a modular at a reasonable price

My local Toyworld has a 20% sale. Picked up "Public Transport" for 140-ish.

Damn that's a good deal.

They ship certain sets like Diagon Alley, GE, Maersk Train etc. It came to $245 all up.

Just received my Grand Emporium, shipped directly from Amazon.com. Only took 8 days too.

Well that sucks! I'm not going to pay that much. I guess I'll just have to ask one of my mates back home (Austria) to send me one. Thanks for the info though, harmacy!

Does anyone know of a Toyworld (or any other store) that still carries a Grand Emporium? My local one only has the Fire Brigade and PetShop.

Bougt two S5's from our local Toyworld today as well. Got the Lumberjack, which is indeed awesome and the Egyptian Queen.
