In Holland it's EUR 89,99 = 88.7358 USD According to www.xe.com/ucc GBP 59.99 = 92.1177 USD, so that's 54% more.... But then again, salaries in the US are much higher than in Europe, so it all makes sense... or does it? Duq "Huw Millington" (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) And currently in New Zealand, 59.99 USD = 122.98 NZD whereas LEGO want 149.95 NZD for the Gigamesh G60. So it's not so bad here, but it is still about 22 percent more than the US price. Grahame (22 years ago, 1-Jul-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.lego.direct)

The new Spybotics sets, such as 3806 Gigamesh G60, (URL) are GBP59.99 in the UK, or $59.99 in the USA. I make that about 50% more! Surely such a difference can't be justified. Could it be a mistake? Huw (22 years ago, 1-Jul-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.lego.direct)

Yes, I totally agree. The Model Team range was my favorite theme, I got most of them. Every year it was exiting which new models will be brought out. Nowadays LEGO is crap. The models aren't interesting anymore and you can't use the pieces for other (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.modelteam)
