And that's precisely what I'm curious about: given the current exchange
rate, should we expect LEGO to offer a price in EUR similar to the one in
USD for the United States? They have done this in the past with the Guarded
Inn (and back then the exchange rate meant *we* were favoured), but ever
since that all the european prices have been considerably above its american
counterparts. Is this to change anytime soon?
What's your opinion?

Hello Pedro,

I did some simple web reseach, compairing all other (already available) sets
that cost £49,99 (British Pounds) on the "United Kingdom" pages of Shop at
Home. Of those we can look up the price to pay in Euro. It turns out there
is a 15 Euro variation within these sets.

The following sets are £49,99 for UK, and EUR0 74.99 for NL
#2916 - MyBots Invention System
#3335 - Intelli-Train Starter Set (Explore)
#3800 - Ultimate Builders Set (Mindstorms)
#6763 - Rapid River Village (Wild West)

The following sets are £49,99 for UK, but EUR0 79.99 for NL
#4589 - RC-Nitro Flash (Racers)
#5850 - The Royal Crystal Palace (Belville)
#8472 - Street 'n' Mud Racer (Racers)

The following set is £49,99 for UK, but EUR0 69.99 for NL
#8558 - Cahdok and Gahdok (Bionicle)

This never stops to amaze me.

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
