Ah OK, cool I wondered if they normally only had a couple at a time. That's good to know, thanks.

As expected! ;-(

Tempted to hop on board this one.

With the promo (probably £25 after fees), £10 voucher, £10 VIP and 7% cashback it seems a good buy in.

I guess this will be around for a while though so will be hard to resist the temptation to build it!

Forget temptation, just get on board [emoji3]

Where are you getting the £10 voucher from?

Careful though. If you add the £10 voucher it takes you below the £100 min spend by 1p and the free gift doesn’t get added

so you add a cheese slope and with luck they will ship separately.

and where's the £10 VIP points? It's £5 surely?

Also... definitely worth building

7% cashback stopped on Sunday as well. Good job it’s AFOL day on Saturday.

Nope, still going.

£10 voucher from the catalogue.

I meant £10 VIP points in my bank.

2 issues with Lego cashback:

1 - It's pre-VAT, so 7% is actually 5.8%.

2 - Actually receiving the cashback. I've got transactions from early October that are still stuck in pending.

Just for info

both my Saturn Vs from Lego’s arrived in mint condition along with the 60 year promo. 

Packaged correctly with the promo down the side rather than on top.

Cshback from Lego not normally not paid until the 90 day return period has elapsed.

October 10th was a lot more than 90 days ago and it's still pending.

Such payments probably happen in a monthly basis. Multi-national companies typically have a set schedule for such types of payments which maximises their liquidity based on geography, currency etc. Hence it won’t be 90 days on the dot. If 120 days have elapsed and nothing, then would be worth chasing

Lego usually take a lot longer than other companies to pay over, can be 5/6 months, wouldn't bother yourself chasing it or worrying about it. You'll get paid eventually.

I hope so, I'm waiting on about £100!

I was shocked to see this today in a local toy shop (Intertoys). A bad sign if you ask me. Not even to talk about the fact that they’ve put these sets below the Nexo Knights. Maybe that’s a sign/forecast for the possible gains for Ideas sets here in Holland from now on.. ?

Here in the Netherlands Ideas sets were, from what I’ve experienced, exclusive to SAH. And now they’re apparently also available to ‘the public mom and dad who has no clue about the existence of SAH’. 

Now I feel a little less confident of my SAH orders (4x) for the Apollo from the last couple of days. 60 years sets makes the pain a little more bearable, but nonetheless.. ?

Intertoys is often selling LEGO with a mark-up to RRP. Compare from the picture:

Detective's Office at €163,99 (RRP: €159,99)

Brick Bank at €183,99 (RRP: €169,99)

VW T1 Van at €109,99 (RRP: €99,99)

Intertoys is the only nation-wide toy-store in The Netherlands, so they have a monopoly there. Of course there are some local toy stores selling LEGO as well, but they are limited to a regional presence at most. If you're not living in that region you're out of luck and limited to the ubiquitous Intertoys...

Well yeah, but e.g. Detective's office is like 20x bigger than Ferrari car - and still in your words only like 4 EUR more expensive.. that car costs here around 14-15 EUR give or take the exchange rate and on your photo the "premium" is even bigger than that of modular. .. bijenkorf or mediamarkt is not selling anything? I remember from living in DH that these used were the ones I usually went to when looking for something (of course in that time I paid no attention to LEGO at all    )

I also saw this. Both Ideas sets, however, are RRP..

This was the first time I saw Ideas sets at Intertoys. And from the Apollo I’ve expected it the least. Not a pleasant surprise.

@Crayxlp; Mediamarkt isn’t selling LEGO. If you’re lucky you stumble upon a lost Dimension set, that’s it. Bike lord is only selling the standard stuff so not very interesting.

Toys R US online has 21309 for $119.99.  Not sure if that's more indicative of current supply in the market or Toys R US coming to their senses with some of their financial issues.

Is this  done?

Walmart Canada has reduced these to $119.89 (about $90USD)...usually a decent indication that these are on the way out. At least from my experience.
