  Re: Euro: one currency does not mean one price :-(
 
I just bought the following in France: 8458 Silver Champion 117.50 !!! 3739 Blacksmith Shop 39.99 6472 Gas N'Wash Express 55.50 ! 3800 Ultimate Builders Set 60.90 !!

(...) The 129EUR is approximately the price in shops here (800FF). 88EUR seems very cheap, maybe I should order before they spot their mistake?

Wessel inspired me to do my own little survey. My pick was slightly different; not so much the high end of the range, but across the themes and prices (and more or less my own taste ;-).

The guys at LEGO do not only make up this prices at random, in fact they have totally lost their minds. The UCS X-Wing now costs 209 EUR. That's madness - it's even more expensive than the Rebel Blockade Runner now. And talking about the amount of (...)

  Euro: one currency does not mean one price :-(
