Well, if our government would raise the VAT to 25% the current
demostrations would turn into a full-scale revolution...
I have no clue who charges 25% VAT, but here it is 16%.

Or EUR 37,58 at 16% VAT. Besides, AFAIK, this set is made in Europe, so
there are the shipping costs to the US which have not been taken into
consideration.
> SO the price seems to make sense no??
Actually, *this* price does. But it is a big exception.
Take a look at e.g. the prices for the large cups at the Pick-A-Brick
shops. German prices are 86% higher than US ones. And believe me, even
the worst countries in Europe dont have an 86% VAT ;-)
On average, Lego prices in Europe are 35-40% higher than in the US.
