Junta Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Wouldn't necessarily call this a deal, but Mastermind Toys is currently selling this set a few days before the official release date. Apparently they can be found in stores too. Will check my local store later today. http://www.mastermindtoys.com/LEGO-Back-to-the-Future-DeLorean.aspx?refid=2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 10 dollars more - not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 It's nearly a TRU markup, but since it is a few days before its release, not too shabby. Better than spending $60 on one of these on eBay. You can buy 10 copies... Wait a second! This is a Canadian store. I didn't even read the title. Well, Canadians, looks like you were lucky this time... I wonder if $44.99 is going to be the regular price for you people up north? How much was the Minecraft/other CUUSOO's for you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junta Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 I think $44.99 is the standard going rate up here. The Minecraft sets are also $44.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yep unfortunately that is the regular price and not a mark up for us Canadians lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Considering they didn't mark it up the CAN MSRP it's good for people who want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Glad there is no mark up. I will pick up 1-2 for personal stash...might as well get it at lego for vip points/free polybag. Looks like my credit card is bound for a workout at lego store come Thurs Aug 1st if the set is selling at mastermind too than supplies should last awhile...but guess you never know.

Anakinisvader Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Shouldn't they get "banned" by TLG since they are a "reseller" and their price is higher than LEGO Shop at Home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I would pick it up and try to flip it on Ebay if I was canadian. Some of them sold for $80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 i dunno...we pay 12-13% tax here so it'd be 50.39, add in ebay fees and paypal fes and the profits are very small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man thats pretty rough. probably right then. I didn't know it was that high there. Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eightbrick Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Oh man thats pretty rough. probably right then. I didn't know it was that high there. Man Yeah, tax varies by province. Here in Alberta, thankfully we have a managable 5% duty but those folks in Ontario and the such have big sales tax bills. Pretty stupid because I would say Albertans recieve around the same amount of public services as people from Ontario even though we are paying less than half the amount of their sales tax. Ah, politics and economics, you drive the world mad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 5%?! Nice....didn't know. So your Lego.ca purchases cost 8% less than some of us Ontarians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eightbrick Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Yep. I think that is where the term Alberta Advantage came from. Now if only our hockey teams stopped finishing in the bottom of the barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yep. I think that is where the term Alberta Advantage came from. Now if only our hockey teams stopped finishing in the bottom of the barrel True on both accounts! 5% over here is quite nice to say the least. I`m hoping to get at least 3-4 for the Delorean before the end of its run. I don`t want very many, but at the same time don`t want to be left without. It`s a cool set, and I`m sure there will be lots of time to pick some up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
