The way I look at it is that it is over 50% off canadian even if I get hit with taxes.

Exactly. You really can`t lose, and it`s highly doubtful a discount like this will ever surface up here anyway. 

Raise the gates, the Canadians are going to clean us out..... Again :P

Back up the truck on this one again? On September 30th and October 1st, it was marked down by the same amount for both trains set with the station and extra tracks on AMZN UK. Maybe it's the muscle memory that nobody wanted pay over those prices for the past month? Or is it possible that our redcoat friends across the pond just doesn't like trains?

No according to camel. Lowest price on amazon uk for red passenger train. 

 

Its not just the canadaians its the Aussies too clearing you out

 

I also thought the Technic Grand prix racer was good value at 47 pound. 50% off retail here after conversion

Agree that Technic Grand Prix is a fantastic deal. It will never see that discount in the US, ever. I was sold on that set after seeing it in person, it is awesome for any F1 fan.

Wow stinger that's another awesome price, you trying to bankrupt me? 

Hehe well I spent a crapload last night and the great thing out of 3 orders 1 has already shipped. 

 

Want me to tell you any more? SW? the AT-TE is goof at 46 pounds also. 

Whoa...ordered 2 Grand Prix Racers:

 

Item(s) Subtotal:     GBP 77.76
Postage & Packing:     GBP 6.95

 

Grand Total:     GBP 84.71
Payment Grand Total:     USD 141.53  

damn 7938 is out of stock

sauro, that's a long hold but a $250 set easy right???

Let's hope so, yeah it came out this year so long hold.

I have the same reaction to all of these Technic sets, they are so much bigger than you expect when you see them built in person. The Grand Prix is a great set, plus it is featured in like every Toys R Us on display, had to pick up two more.

It was a good deal at $80 a month back on amazon u.k....now it's just beastly.  Strong sale.  I'd get more if I hadn't bought 2 last month.

Thoughts on 9396 Rescue Helicopter???

Good deal.  Was a bit cheaper last month.

The technic Grand Prix racer may be my first technic set I build. Along with the power functions of course.

Glad I could help

 

I like the Rescue Helicopter, better with PF. I think it can go lower, I would wait till hits 40 pounds IMO. 

 

Gotta love BN they stuffed up and sent me an extra Minecraft Nether set for free, plus a red ball thingy that was supposed to be Archy Big Ben, but that just arrived as well. Score!

Minecraft is the easiest set to flip of all time. Never in stock at every retailer. One runs out, I buy a bunch from someone else and flip them.

I agree DNIM. Plus here they tend to go over out retail. Not sure how they sell in US or at what price. 

any investment value for minecraft? 

I am not sure on investment for minecraft. They are good flippers, but long term ? It is based on a game aimed at young kids, I think more of a fad could be wrong though.

Minecraft should stay wrong as long as fans continue to play the game. I`m not sure about the long term, but you may be able to flip as stinger-311 suggested. They did very last Christmas given the limited supply at the time. They were going for about $100!
