They haven't on occasion in the past.  If everyone starts calling them, they for sure won't.

Yes I don't make it a habit, but I have placed a few orders from the LEGO stores 2 hours from me.

Shouldn't be an issue, but I hope Downtown Disney's 4 employees working today don't get slammed.

No shipping wasn't free and never will be unlike LEGO Shop at Home.

I paid $14.

My Lego store had this set at $99 two weeks ago so I cleared the shelf (I bought three)

Which store?

I think Dr. Brick was in Florida when he picked them up at 99.  Look at previous post.

Sorry, just missed that.  It's what happens when Dutch people here about good deals.

How are you taking it back, though?

Gents, Dr. Brick is a Dutchman now living in the USA (Same as me). He just chose to put a Dutch flag in his profile to reflect his heritage - I put a US flag to show where I live. Don't trust the flags.

That explains it.

Are you planning to come back by shipping container?

That's Shameless.

No reference intended. I really meant a shipping container full of Lego. What were you thinking of? People fleeingby shipping container from the US to get away from president Trump?

Funny, but I have actually fone that. I go back and forth 3-4 times a year and collect/invest for both markets with each a different strategy. And i have cross shipped between markets quite a bit too. Someime also based on the currency fluctuations. And my flag used to be the US flag but somehow it was changed to the Dutch one and if i change it it gets changed back. It's living a life on it's own

Didn't you have to pay the import taxes?

If you click on your username in the top right, select Account Settings, and then go to the Country option... you can force it to stay selected on a single country. Otherwise, it's picking up where you're logging in from based on your IP address which isn't always accurate depending on your ISP (or if you travel between two countries with a single laptop for example).

FWIW (2) sets from Lego store Orlando were 27R5.

31s6 europe

Maybe it was just a better seller across the pond. Does anyone in the US have this set with a 2016 seal code? Let's see it.

We've seen 40S6 already (see page 13).

Nope

Looks like Lego is determined to empty out their remaining stock on this set through their Downtown Disney outlets.  Still being clearanced out at 100 bricks each.  I'm coming across early 2015 seal codes now.  If you wanted to get one at half off and are nearby, now is the time to do it.  I'm pretty sure the remaining stock will get wiped out soon with the holiday season upon us.

This is one of my favourite sets in all honesty for a few reasons. I've picked up 2 so far in the UK for £115 buy in each. This baby is hardly ever discounted in my experience. Smyths just really nailed it with a couple of deals running alongside each other for a few days several months ago. A beautiful set, no doubt.

This was my first set as an AFOL. . . .it is a great set. I displayed it with some Japanese lady and Samurai minfigs.

Thats an amazing price at Downtown Disney. . I'd invest in a couple! ?
