Those sets are a result of the Ambassador Program which isn't really a secret anymore ;-)

Happy birthday! :-)

*wub* *wub* *wub* The pics on the box and a 16+ age mark promise complex models like a SFSC or BNSF :'-) Thanks for sharing, sam! *y*

Did I read that right: If I have a season pass I cannot go in the park before 5? That's totally defying the purpose of getting the kids there cos that's more like the time when you go home with them *wacko* Or did you mean 5 am? That I could live with...

X-D

Makes me wanna order chinese food...

Uh... how many more do you want? In the end you have to build it, you can't expect us to come up with every step :-|

Nice, I got the first for my birthday and the second one last week for... I dunno... I just it from my in-laws...

That's not what I'm comparing. I'm comparing what I pay (not what TLG makes) by buying it in Europe and have it shipped here (which is free), and buying it in the US and have it shipped there (which is also free). S@H won't let me buy in the US and have it shipped to Europe. So, EUR 550 vs. EUR 393. But that was not my point. My point was my surprise seeing the falcon being in the top 3 so fast with that price tag ;-)

Not my problem.

This tractor was my first Technic set I bought after coming out of my Dark Ages. I had mostly bought City and Train stuff and hadn't ventured into the "new, studless Technic" yet. One day I decided to get this set since it was just 10 Euro and didn't look all that bad. When I started building I was surprised how many functions they were able to put into such a small model. And how many new bricks there were in Technic... I liked it - and started to buy more Technic sets. Much to the chagrin of my wife ("Where you gonna put all those? You don't have space! - "Hm? Space? I have shelfs. Look, it turns when you push it..." - "Huh..." - "And this here moves, too..." - "*Smiling* Unbelievable, these models are nice...") So, I agree, it's a great set with much "value" for a quick build. Oh, yeah, the review wasn't poor at all, thanks for taking the time *y*

Haven't even built them yet, except for the helicopter. Two of the claw rigs are for sale, by the way. Want one? ;-) Yep, idea book 7777 shows lots of examples (my favorite idea book).

Aaah! :-D :-D :-D

That was my point ;-) X-D

Well, I'm just talking about the falcon, and it being #1 in a small country (AT) with a smaller market and a high price (EUR 550) compared to a big country (US) with a bigger market and a lower price (EUR 393) ;-)

I don't even wanna know more *wacko* :-P

You're right, it still is. Didn't see the small image ;-)

While this is true for sets in general, of course, it doesn't really apply for the falcon, does it? ;-)

It was already yesterday. And here in Austria, too, that surprised me a bit. Not only because it's considerably more expensive (549 Euro compared to 499 USD which is about 393 Euro) but because Austria is also a lot smaller. But there's obviously a market for that here. In Germany it's not even in the top 25 *wacko*

I didn't get a card (no cards in Austria) but a 6592 Vacation Hideaway from the best wife of all *wub*

Rarely, but sometimes you can find one... Ah, I know that store. His prices are quite ok. Shipping to Austria is about double, but for as many sets as I like. Problem is, only a big order makes the shipping worth it. But I check his store for sales quite frequently...

That is a good price, but with shipping you'd have the same price as in a store... I don't, either. Probably for people in countries without toy stores... Good luck!
