Hello Pedro,

I did some simple web reseach, compairing all other (already available) sets
that cost £49,99 (British Pounds) on the "United Kingdom" pages of Shop at
Home. Of those we can look up the price to pay in Euro. It turns out there
is a 15 Euro variation within these sets.

The following sets are £49,99 for UK, and EUR0 74.99 for NL
#2916 - MyBots Invention System
#3335 - Intelli-Train Starter Set (Explore)
#3800 - Ultimate Builders Set (Mindstorms)
#6763 - Rapid River Village (Wild West)

The following sets are £49,99 for UK, but EUR0 79.99 for NL
#4589 - RC-Nitro Flash (Racers)
#5850 - The Royal Crystal Palace (Belville)
#8472 - Street 'n' Mud Racer (Racers)

The following set is £49,99 for UK, but EUR0 69.99 for NL
#8558 - Cahdok and Gahdok (Bionicle)

This never stops to amaze me.

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
