Hello everybody,

De Bouwsteen is the Dutch LEGO users group and has currently almost 600
members. Amongst other activities, we organize three club events a year
and we are also actively participating in LEGO world, the biggest LEGO
event of Europe, with in the year 2002 over 37000 visitors in five days.

We would like to get in contact with as much as possible other LEGO user
groups in Europe (or people who are interested in starting up a LEGO
user group) to discuss the possibility of forming an European Federation
of LEGO user groups.

<Knip>

Hallo Paul,

Hartelijk dank voor dit voorstel. Wij, dit zijn enkele Vlamingen, zijn ook
van plan om, indien mogelijk, een Club op te richten. Zo, alle hulp van
ervaren personen zoals jullie van De Bouwsteen, is hartelijk welkom. Wij
zouden onze eerste samenkomst bij mij thuis houden op 12 April 2003. Dan
zien we wel wat er eventueel uit de bus komt.

Groetjes uit West Vlaanderen,
Ludo

Hello everybody,

De Bouwsteen is the Dutch LEGO users group and has currently almost 600
members. Amongst other activities, we organize three club events a year
and we are also actively participating in LEGO world, the biggest LEGO
event of Europe, with in the year 2002 over 37000 visitors in five days.

We would like to get in contact with as much as possible other LEGO user
groups in Europe (or people who are interested in starting up a LEGO
user group) to discuss the possibility of forming an European Federation
of LEGO user groups.

The purpose of this European Federation of LEGO user groups is to
exchange information about the organization of the different LEGO user
groups, the organization of events, as well small events as big events
like LEGO world, and also to synchronize agenda's to minimize the
overlap of events in different countries.

Another advantage of an European Federation of LEGO users group is that
it will be easier to communicate with LEGO and that white gaps are being
identified.

If you would like to discuss about the possibiliteis of an European
Federation of LEGO user groups, please contact me, Paul Koelewijn.

Hasta LuEGO,

Paul Koelewijn
President 'De Bouwsteen'

could they be running a converter on their exiasting prices - which are well
documented as being different - untill they get everything straight ??

That's probably what they did, which is a shame because they could have
seized the opportunity to level the prices throughout the euro-zone.

I think it's probably decided on a per country basis,
taking into account local taxes, shipping costs and pricing habits
(.99 is much more common in Germany than France, for example).

Still that does not explain why a certain set has the same price in two
countries while another set differs as much as EUR 10,- in price in those
same two countries. Shipping costs are calculated seperately so should not
be of influence.

After the introduction of the new European currency three days ago, I was
very curious about what would happen to S@H's prices in the euro-zone. What
now follows are my findings (which are by no means scientific - it just
illustrates how weird their current pricing policy is)

(snip comparison)

(Your curiosity saved me the trouble of investigating myself, so I thank you
for that)

To me this comes across as really strange. It is almost as though someone at
LD is making up these prices at random. I'd like your thoughts on this. But
above all I hope LD is reading this and start scratching behind their ears
and does something about it so that everyone gets the same amount of Lego
for their Euros!

Hmmm...
I had noticed previously some differences in prices, which I attributed to
different transportation costs. I never realized such differences were
chaotic. You are absolutely right, LEGO must take actions to ensure at least
more coherent prices.

On the side, I'd like to see something else: S@H throughout Europe. The
currency is the same, and they ship from their headquarters, so why not? I
mean, it is not as if the had to implement a hotline or so, all the
structure is already there; the only new thing would be a couple of
postcodes for the Billund Post Office to handle...

Pedro

(BTW, I noticed you posted in Eurozone S@H destinations. I also X-posted to
other Eurozone countries; who knows, maybe we can show some unity on this :-)
