  Re: Euro: one currency does not mean one price :-(
 
(...) The 129EUR is approximately the price in shops here (800FF). 88EUR seems very cheap, maybe I should order before they spot their mistake?

(...) 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. (...) Still that does not explain why a certain set has the same price in two countries while another (...)

  Re: Euro: one currency does not mean one price :-(
 
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 ;-). I found some strange stuff....... My pick: 7191 Collector's (...)

  Re: Euro: one currency does not mean one price :-(
 
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 :-(
 
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 (...)

  Euro
 
Hi all, The European Central Bank has officially presented the Euro banknotes yesterday, so I thought this was the best moment to ask: are all of you ready for the upcoming change in currency throughout Europe?
