  Re: LEGO Inside Tour
 
Can I book now for the summer of 2006? :) That would be perfect, doing the insiders tour as a side trip from watching Canada play at the World Cup in Germany.

  Re: UPDATE: New locomotive pricing
 
Here is my take on the math USD - 40 in EUR approx 32.40 EUR. BUT in USA taxes are on top, in Europe, ~25% VAT is included so 40.63 EUR would be the VAT INCLUDED PRICE. SO the price seems to make sense no?? (22 years ago, 18-Aug-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)
