its still possible to get in CZE (new) for like 130 GBP + shipping.  Not on the official LEGO e-shop but local toy chains.

Lithuania's shops for example still have 70503 in stock... Middle-eastern europe is a tad different market to be analized comparing to the western countries.

hnmmm. since when Poland is in general conceived as a "Western EU country" ..  ..  no offense meant

wait wut?
from which line did you considered my sentence to be implying that Poland is Western country.
when I say Middle eastern I consider Poland where the demand in the toy market is tad different as from western countries such as Germany or UK where sets broadly cosidered to be HOT are not finding its final clientele in Poland... where nexo are going strong but in western countries are broadly considered to be non questionable "turd".
you missed my point my Czech friend

haha.. Just from what you wrote.. and given that you are located in Poland.. 

wait wut?

it seemed like you were judging / comparing / evaluating Czech / Lithuania / Poland and others markets.. my bad..  honestly said, I liked (in general) Poland like 4-5 years ago much more than now.. I keep my fingers crossed for your country.. and yeah, at the same breath for ours.. because it looks like we are definitely going your way.. :/

мама россия   also stores retired sets at RPP or less, usually there is a two-three months difference of post EOL appreciating due to the absence of LEGO Shop at Home and the consequent presence of lots of lego reselling toy stores. Excluding Eastern europe countries where's LEGO Shop at Home, I suggest that's the main difference between Western and Eastern europe countries
