  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 !! There is a difference of at least 110 Euros with the Netherlands! The 8458 costs (...)

  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. (...)

  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 (...)

(...) Wessel heeft gelijk. De genoemde combinaties van onderdelen en hoeveelheden zijn nooit eerder door LEGO® uitgebracht. Er was wel een service-pakketje met enkel Cypres bomen (nummer 5192) maar daar zaten slechts 2 bomen in, voor f 4,75 (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.loc.be)

De cypres bomen worden volgens mij echter speciaal opnieuw voor Lego Direct/S@H gemaakt. (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.loc.be)

(...) Zou dit eigenlijk weer zo'n actie worden dat je er heeeeel snel bij moet zijn, of anders pech gehad (ik denk bv. aan "de garage-roldeuren affaire")? Of gaan deze bomen langere tijd in het assortiment blijven? Iemand een idee? Groet Saskia (23 years ago, 17-Nov-01, to lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.loc.be)
