I guess I should have said modified instead of fake as this was definitely not put out by LEGO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're authorized to put this out by LEGO. Yeah, it's a bit nuanced. Certified stores aren't a thing in US. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a different certified store I visited in Seoul that had a nifty promo (like a water bottle or something, I forgot what exactly), you had to buy a membership and be a local to get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolan808 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 I wonder how long it will be before the black friday promo's are mentioned.

JimboJet Posted November 10, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 $, £, €.

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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bricks Eh Posted November 16, 2020 Share 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...
