Ordered some Gungan soldiers from Bricklink. I have enough minifigs to have a decent bettle between the Gungans and droids, now just need the vehicles!

Buying LEGO from other countries on-line stores
TheDarkness replied to Siegfried's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
Thats about the state how one of my sets came. Still, they replaced it quickly, and are happy to replace, even if it means you have to send the set back (and they reimburse you for it) Making sure you have a good translating program for any complaints though would be a must -
I bought this set only really because I wanted Ki-Adi. The Geonosian was going to be the first thing I hocked off on eBay, until I saw it and loved the detail on it. Yes, wings would be much better, and is certainly a flaw, but other than that I thought the set was fairly spot on. Bring on more Geonosians (though hopefully with wings!) Thanks for a great review!

If it the Imperial shuttle, amazon.fr isn't selling it, another seller is using it as a storefront (similar to ebay) It might be why you cannot get it shipped? -
REVIEW: 7962 Anakin's & Sebulba's Podracers
TheDarkness replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Another awesome review of this awesome set! I am impatiently waiting for my order from Barnes and Noble via slow delivery, but it is the set I wanted most out of this wave -

Were you also ordering the Imperial Shuttle? Had no issues ordering Technic Flat Bed Truck and Truck Crane last night, both have moved to ships soon -

What are you trying to order? I had no issues last night -
A minor Star Wars purchase in ordering Luke's Landspeeder. I threw it in with an order of big Technic sets. It seems to be a nifty little set, so I am looking forward to receiving it in a week

It should update once it hits customs. However, once it leaves you usually don't get any updates until it rocks up on your doorstep! -

Í think it says 15-21 days for slow shipping usually doesn't it? The sets are cheap enough, so I always go for the express shipping -
Show Your Army, Navy, and Collection Display
TheDarkness replied to BillytheKid's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I pulled my minifig collection out of the cupboard as I started doing some sorting with new additions, I took a couple of pics, I have more ewoks, gungans and snowtroopers coming, with more Scout Troopers to be ordered later. I have a Republic Frigate in transit,so no doubt will want more Wolfpack Clones once I see them. Some more Magnaguards and Geonosians would be cool too but they aren't a priority. I'm not too fussed on the Mandalorians, I only got them due to a deal I got on eBay. EDIT: I didn't include my bomb squad and horn trooper armies, but they are in the shoebox you can barely seen in one of the pics. I already posted pics of those previously anyway -
Aussie sales! Share the news of LOCAL sales!
TheDarkness replied to Darth_Legois's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
We wouldn't be complaining if it were say a 20% markup, but we get rorted royally right now. I was told (though I am not sure how accurate it is) that the Death Star costs Lego about $170 US to make and ship. Obviously they can charge what they want, but it is a bit rich to see our prices all but doubled those in the States despite our dollar now being superior. S@H sell the Death Star now for $699, so that is a fair markup. -
I'd always be concerned that they wouldn't, regardless of what they say.

Well BN shipped my sets ordered 2 days ago, so I will keep ordering until it stops. That was with the new code too, on an account which I have already used a 30% discount twice previously -
A guy sold 200 the other day at some cheap price. Smells very fishy, and I have a feeling people will get burned

Hmm, the three sets I ordered from BN have been delayed. I am assuming the worst, but we shall see -
Where Can I Find a Cheaper Death Star
TheDarkness replied to Lord Of The Fries's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
If it looks like a scam and smells like a scam...... No one would sell 200 Death Stars and list them at those prices. -

TheDarkness replied to Siegfried's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
Either way, we get slugged a hell of a lot more than other countries for alot of items. And with people becoming more savvy with the internet they are finding cheaper ways to get what they want. The prices we pay for alot of things is inexcusable really -

That set isn't sold by Amazon.fr, it is sold by a seller using Amazon similar to people using eBay as a shopfront. If you go through the buying process, you don't get the fast ship option, you don't get the VAT removal and you get charged 90 euros freight. -
Just had to order a handful of Snowtroopers from Bricklink, as my Hoth army was looking a little lame. Will have to add some more Hoth rebels in the near future.

It will be interesting. Tomorrow will be the ninth day, which Amazon usually outstrip. If only their US site would ship here -

Brokers Express, or Brokers 1 month service? Pancake specialists is entirely accurate, my boxes shipped via UPS were in pristine condition -
A small order by my standards, 2 Battle for Naboo sets (with some Cars sets for my son for once :p)
