Could someone tell me the correct MISB weight for the European version of this set?

0.69 kg according to Brickset. That´s a pretty bulky turd.

What are the most recent Euro seal codes? Are they still making these?

Thanks, but I was hoping for an answer from someone who physically had the set in front of him.  I think brickset weighs US sets, and the weights can be different in Europe.  European 10240 sets, for example, weigh 2.5 ounces less than US sets.

My most recent European seal codes are for the 17th week of 2016.

I think they should compare nett weight of the boxes, without the bricks inside and instruction.

Thank you very much.  That's the weight I got for my recently arrived European Ecto-1 sets, and I was a little concerned that they came in 1.7 - 1.8 ounces under where brickset said they should be.  Since this also happened with Red Five sets I bought (and have already sold with no issues), I think the European sets either do not include a catalog or brochure that is included in the US sets, or else the boxes are made of a different (possibly thinner) grade of cardboard.

Careful guys. This sounds like you might be stumbling upon some science here. Tread lightly.

European air is less dense than Mexican air.

It is over - there could be perhaps a windows of opportunity in few days to buy it again, but then maximum for one hour...

I hope it was an error, otherwise the UK panic buyers will be selling it for months at £35

Out Of Stock not Sold Out so the fat lady's only getting dressed. It's a shame they were discounted as we now have to wait for the QFLLs to offload at £29.99 ;-(

There won't be offloading at that price on this set. This has consistently sold at RRP on Bricklink, even when it was still available everywhere and selling over RRP on Ebay.

You are underestimating the horde´s capacity to undersell.

Will hit the £70 mark on Amazon UK ,within 7 days,none of the large retailers have any stock its a win win scenario even with the stockpilers in the equation.

if i lived in europe and could only sell on bricklink, i wouldn't invest in LEGO based on the sales volumes that are posted with the monthly updates.
