They have lots of the certified Lego stores, they have their own VIP program, you have to buy a membership to get discounted prices. This is normal for them to have more exclusions then a normal Lego owned store. 1 Quote

nolan808 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Posted November 9, 2020 I wonder how long it will be before the black friday promo's are mentioned. Will the Charles Dickens Promo start on the 21st, hoping for one with the sale items tbh. Quote

JimboJet Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Odd because Singapore $ and Australia $ are close, within 10%. SG$180 = US$133, AUS$150 = US$109. So would seem odd that US threshold is US$150, but I typically don't doubt info from ravenb99! Quote

Expand Its not weird because Lego abandoned the conversion in their most established markets over a year ago. The Asian market is still newer to the lego family, they follow the The number that US, Canada, UK and EU countries see is the same, onlt difference is the symbol in front $, £, €.

Expand In that case, Asia and the Canadians are making out great and the Brits are getting shafted for having the strongest currency! 😄 At least Lego is saving on brochure design costs by only having to change the currency symbol.

Expand Maybe... 🤣 But the sets are lower price in than what they cost in US and Cdn, so they have to spend more, that is true. 😊 But where VIP points don't accumulate on entire purchases in US/Can. They add tax onto the prices so points are only on subtotal. Where it accumulates on the vat in UK and likely EU too (if their entire country is same tax rate across the board), no additional taxes and the set price includes the taxes. UK makes out like bandits on the extra points. 1 Quote

Bricks Eh Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Maybe I just can’t find it but I don’t see any reviews out there of the ice skating rink set... someone sold a bunch on ebay for high $$$... I would have thought one of the buyers would have been a youtube reviewer so that they could get their review video out first... but i can’t find anything... Quote
Bricks Eh Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Sooo... december calendar is out... skating rink starts Dec.1.... how long does everyone think this will last??? if it’s still available by the middle of the month then an in store purchase will also get you the train polybag...
