Guest ph4tb0i Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Don't know where to put this since Amazon UK ships to the Canada/US as well... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lego-City-7938-Passenger-Train/dp/B003A2JCQ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366201190&sr=8-1&keywords=lego+7938 Seems like a good price.

c4dreams Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah, thanks, I also picked up two of them. Shipped to Texas for $189 total. Anyone think this set will be going EOL real soon? The cheapest I'm seeing it on ebay is well over $150 for BIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junta Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 According to Brickset, lego.com recently discontinued the set as of April 6, 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oli50 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks for the post. I got one, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueremains Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Put in an order for 2. I wonder what condition it's going to be in after it makes its journey across the pond as these are pretty big boxes. That's the only thing stopping me from ordering a few more. According to Brickset, lego.com recently discontinued the set as of April 6, 2013. It's not EOL yet, they still sell it at LEGO Shop at Home . I remember last month when it went out of stock with an available shipping date. Sometimes Brickset misinterprets that as EOL. It's available to ship now.

Of course, I only ordered those one at a time, so I don't know how they are going to do the shipping now as I ordered 2 passenger trains and 2 train stations.

I just received 2 Vampyre's Castles I ordered in March. Shipped in the same package and arrived minty-fresh in Wisconsin. Ordered 2 of these as well.

Thanks for the info. According to my calculations, it is only an extra $2.36 each to ship the passenger trains individually than in pairs. That might be worth it to reduce the risk of damaged boxes at least a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veegs Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks - I'm in for 2. Grabbed a train station as well. I've had about 8 separate transactions from amazon.co.uk and only one box was a little iffy. People should jump on this deal! Great price for a train with power functions.

nolanfan34 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Anyone know why the per item price goes even lower when it gets in your cart? Anyway, not going to argue, in for 2 as well.

Guest ph4tb0i Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yep, but factoring UPS it was still a good deal. They ship through UPS saver, so when my stuff came I had to pay the 13% tax + $10CAD brokerage fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ph4tb0i Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Keep in mind Amazon UK is very "random" (e.***. they use UPS, Royal Mail and DHL) but for the train set I'm almost certain that it's going to be UPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not factor that into the cost of the item. Did everyone else account for that? On one of the eight or so shipments I've ordered from amazon.co.uk, they shipped via UPS (instead of CanadaPost) and I was charged $42 for two Summer Riding Camps. A furious letter to Amazon.co.uk got me a full $42 credited to my credit card. I advised them that shipping with certain carriers is pretty stupid (as most people shop from amazon to pay LESS, silly Mr. Amazon) and I've ordered since then without this happening. If I have to pay to get these, I'll definitely be writing another email and as long as they keep refunding the UPS charges, I'll keep ordering. If we all keep complaining about UPS (at least in Canada - not sure about other countries) then perhaps we can get a solid policy change. CanadaPost delivers these boxes to me free of charge -wait time is 2-3 weeks longer - but that shouldn't be an issue for an investor willing to wait months/years to turn a profit! If you're on the fence, give this a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abri123 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hi, A quick question about UPS based on comments above. Is there an issue or problem with them. I'm in UK and have a couple of Lego's that may be due to go to Canada/USA over next month from ebay and was going to use UPS Express Saver as can get it cheap. Should I change that??

Regular postal service wont charge you extra for international shipments - your package might be intercepted and examined by your countries customs and you will be charged for local taxes/levies but that goes to your government, and it is however collected by your local postal service upon delivery. Versus UPS / FEDEX who charge you brokage fees - which also includes the imporft taxes/levies plus additional charges for UPS since they do the importing on behalf of you. The main difference is the amount and the occurence (UPS will charge you FOR SURE, whether customs might let your shipment go thru with and import duty exempt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'm still confused on whether I will have to pay when this arrives. I'm in the US. Sounds like it depends on the carrier? I likely wouldn't be home during the day when it would be delivered, so seems like a hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
