July 28, 201312 yr 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
July 28, 201312 yr 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?
July 28, 201312 yr Author I think $44.99 is the standard going rate up here. The Minecraft sets are also $44.99.
July 28, 201312 yr Yep unfortunately that is the regular price and not a mark up for us Canadians lol.
July 29, 201312 yr 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.
July 29, 201312 yr Shouldn't they get "banned" by TLG since they are a "reseller" and their price is higher than LEGO Shop at Home?
July 29, 201312 yr I would pick it up and try to flip it on Ebay if I was canadian. Some of them sold for $80
July 29, 201312 yr 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.
July 29, 201312 yr 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. Oh man thats pretty rough. probably right then. I didn't know it was that high there. Man
July 29, 201312 yr 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...
July 29, 201312 yr 5%?! Nice....didn't know. So your Lego.ca purchases cost 8% less than some of us Ontarians.
July 29, 201312 yr 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
July 30, 201312 yr 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.
