I don't think it is mentioned yet, but my local K-Mart has the Cars 8639 Big Bentley Bust Out set for $49, our RRP is $129.99

No cheap option on the sets I put in The fun is over ladies and gents

Like I don't spend enough on Lego as it is. Must have series for me

I have 15 sets still coming from Amazon.fr This lot have been unusually slow and are now outside of their standard shipping time. Will wait a little bit longer before emailing them Such a shame as I am wanting to order a couple more sets, though their prices are rather high by their standards right now

I do. I will be updating it very soon too, considering what I have here now. Will need to itemise my lego for them, its a big, expensive collection these days. I will sell some off over time, but I have a heap to try make sure they are safe since they are all sealed still. I only just got rid of my extra AT-OTs, and now contemplating more Imperial Shuttles!

Oh you guys are a bad, bad, bad, bad influence Another Amazon for me to consistently check? Oh my. My credit card is crying I have an Imperial shuttle already, am resisting that cheap price to add a second. Or third. Happy to hold onto them until the value rises Still I need some form of self control, especially considering I had 11 sets arrive today, including my extra Tower Bridge sets :P

The recent surge in the Aussie dollar again is nice to go with in. I'm assuming the change in order totals is due to some massive orders. I received my Mindstorms set yesterday from amazon.com. Standard shipping and it arrived in four days. Absolutely amazing!

I enquired because my order is still open with them (one item is still pending), and they shipped it the day before the price change. They said they usually wouldn't do it but in this case they would make an exception due to the significant difference.

I sent amazon an email about the difference in price just after ordering, and they refunded me the difference. Definitely cannot complain at that! You don't know if you dont ask

How typical, since I ordered it a few days ago! Oh well

My resolve certainly did. I think Amazon.fr has a new policy too where you cannot order more than 3 of one item in one order. It certainly wouldnt allow me to do more when I was trying to add train items

At Amazon.com the Ramses Pyramid set is now 9.99 I ordered myself a Maersk train which is still 25% cheaper than retail with delivery from the states, and I couldn't resist the Kre-O Optimus Prime for my son which was slashed down to $29.99, it is over $100 here!

Amazon.fr has sold out of Tower Bridges Thankfully I have a few with status "Shipping soon"

I have 2 orders currently in transit, with two more awaiting shipment. Fingers crossed they don't go through Melbourne if there is such a delay. Mine generally go through Sydney, apart from my one and only Amazon.com order which went through Darwin. Both are around the $800 mark but definitely well over the RRP value here.

I hope not. Holding onto it for that long though, you would have thought had there been an issue they would contact you. I've been pushing the customs limit a bit lately. Latest order is well over $1000 retail here but around $900 on conversion. That being said, my orders generally get broken up too. Amazon.com shipped the Mindstorms sets I ordered last night, 8 hours after I ordered it

Haven't heard of Quarantine holding a Lego package before. Where was it shipped from? Winter Bakery is 38.24 and Winter Toy Shop is 41.57 before tax removal at Amazon.fr

Mindstorms NXT 8547 is down to $219 at amazon.com Throw on $20 or so for shipping and it is still $200 cheaper than buying it for RRP in Australia

I have a stack of items in the shopping carts across Amazon US UK and FR. I check them multiple times a day. You never know what temporary discounts pop up

Haha not really. Once I was selling to fund my entire collection. And I sold off my original UCS star destroyers and death stars and didn't keep one for myself. I regret it immensely now. I just look at how cheap we can import these sets and considering how others have gone, question the viability of it. Alot of people who buy the sets will just grab it from a retailer I believe. That's the way I see the Australian market anyway. Fanatics like us here will buy overseas due to the price factor.

Tower Bridge has jumped back up to 169 euros at Amazon.fr. Hope some others got in on the cheaper price Motorized Excavator is at £103.31 before tax removal and freight at amazon.co.uk

Haha they are eyeing off my multiple Grand Emporiums, Fire Brigades and Death Stars too :p I have dabbled in ebay, but I also find it difficult to part with my sets once I get them. Once sets skyrocket in price I offload them, once upon a time it used to fund my hobby but not so much anymore. My wife and I have debated opening an online store, but at this stage it isn't anything serious.

Actually if you include the ones for family and friends I have bought 7 from them so far :P I keep forgetting to go through the eurobricks link though. I just see what is discounted in my cart and go from there. A quick look on my credit card says I have ordered over $2200 of Lego prior to this order since the start of October

I ordered another Tower Bridge from Amazon.fr this morning for 120.37 EUR before freight (and with tax removed) It is temporarily out of stock though, so fingers crossed I get one shipped

Thanks for your effort Splat. I've been looking over it, shipping is obviously a key factor but it also depends on how many sets you order. Are the ones in your .uk column definitely able to be shipped?

I place some bigger orders (usually minimum 10 sets at a time) and usually the exterior box starts to rip apart at the sides. I dont know why, I know their packing boxes arent the best quality but probably half the boxes I receive have been falling apart. It is all well and good that it occurs during fast shipping, less time for damages to occur, but now having to shift to standard, I am concerned what condition some will end up. I will undoubtedly be placing another order tonight (one cannot have enough Grand Emporiums IMO) but will just be keeping my fingers crossed they arrive safely
