April 20, 201510 yr Nope. Two for 269.How did you manage that? It's been priced at 100GBP since 15th April. That's $150.Did they undercharge you or something?
April 20, 201510 yr Not sure. When I go all the way through checkout using a mastercard, that's the final price in my cart. No tricks.Did you go all the way to the checkout? My final price in checkout is 88GBP with 4.95GDP shipping. Edited April 20, 201510 yr by jgschmieg3
April 20, 201510 yr US purchases from EU countries like Amazon UK will have the VAT removed at checkout. VAT - value added tax - is an ~ 18% tax that is included in the pricing of EU retail items (by law). FYI.
April 20, 201510 yr The Go Kart polybag 30314 was all over the checkout aisles at my Target today, so I picked up a couple of those.

VAT - value added tax - is an ~ 18% tax that is included in the pricing of EU retail items (by law). FYI.Oh of course, the VAT. I'm in Ireland so I pay VAT. The UK RRP prices are often higher than the Euro prices too, so I don't buy from Amazon UK often unless it's a really good discount. Sometimes I'll buy from the continental Amazons (Fr, De etc) but then I have to pay shipping. One of the drawbacks of living on an island.
April 20, 201510 yr Picked up another Fallingwater at the local BN. Used the 10% off member card, and a 15% off gift card. They refused to take the coupon. They mentioned that corporate told them if they accept any more for ANY Lego product, they would pull the architecture stock. =(Also picked up a complete set of series 3 mixels for my son that were on clearance at TRU.I was at my local BN yesterday. Used the 10% off member card and then a 20% off coupon on an Eiffel Tower. No issues.
April 20, 201510 yr I haven't been buying a lot this season but there were a couple of purchases over the weekend:Trevi Fountain (BN 10%+20%) - to buildFallingwater (BN 10%+20%)2 Cargo Trains from Amazon UK, thanks to BP!

(Maybe because the declared value was $95?) Lemme know how it goes for you eh?
April 20, 201510 yr Nice I just got my high speed train from Amazon UK here in Canada and no duty fees. (Maybe because the declared value was $95?) Lemme know how it goes for you eh?I ship everything to the US, when possible, and it will not be an issue.
April 20, 201510 yr Oh good to know. So you pick it up across the border and don't declare it? ShipHappens?You guys might want to take these questions to PM.
April 20, 201510 yr PIcked up an 8099 yesterday for $45. I didn't even know these existed until I saw it yesterday. It's the market rate. It's for personal build. I'm a little surprised this set has stalled at $5 above RRP, when the MF Mid Scale seems to go for a lot more. I really like the look of it.

I bought it last summer, but I never got around to building it yet. When I do build it, I will display it next to my 6211 ISD.
April 20, 201510 yr Where did you find the 8099 set Alpinemaps, EU or US? Edit: Sorry, you put $, time to sleep for me... Edited April 20, 201510 yr by Vinetu
April 20, 201510 yr Hi! I'm new to the forums but found a bargain I had to share:Lego Technics 42039 24 Hours Race Car is only €79.99 at amazon.de at the moment. This is under £58 or US$86.Hope this helps some folks!Neil
April 21, 201510 yr Where did you find the 8099 set Alpinemaps, EU or US? Edit: Sorry, you put $, time to sleep for me... hehe, no problem. It was at Star Wars Celebration this weekend that I found it. One of the vendors had a 10179 for $5K (and reduced it to $4K on the last day) and another had Cloud City (it sold, but I don't know how much).
April 21, 201510 yr Couldn't resist buying another Pet Shop from Smyths.ie. Just got notification of shipment.
April 21, 201510 yr Couldn't resist buying another Pet Shop from Smyths.ie. Just got notification of shipment.Do Smyths ever do any decent sales? Apart from the odd item like the Death Star, a couple of Superman sets and city sets, I don't see much good in the way of good deals there.

April 21, 201510 yr Question: SAH Canada is offering free Kai drifter bags for $50 or more. Planned a few sets, all each over 50... If I simply place 10 separate orders back to back, will I score 10 freebies, or will TLC lump it all together and give me 1? If the latter, how many hours/days does one have to split orders by?
April 21, 201510 yr Two 76003 Battle for Smallville for $16 total.I received $20 free SYW points on a $30 toy purchase. My local KMart has 50% clearance and this set was $23. (2 x $23) - $20 free points - $10 old points = $16.

If the latter, how many hours/days does one have to split orders by?I'm pretty sure they include one in each order. They do when I go to the store too, even though based on what they said they aren't suppose to and "LEGO has ways of preventing that".
