More of the same stuff I've been complaining about...
ISD:
EUR 369.99 vs. USD 299 (EUR 260, that's 30% less)
Train Shed:
EUR 74.99 vs. USD 69.99 (EUR 61, that's 18% less)
And for the grand finale...
AT-AT:
EUR 149.99 vs. USD 99.99 (EUR 87, that's 42% less)
If anyone was still having any doubts, this is the ultimate evidence that
someone over at LEGO has a weird sense of humour... :-/
Now, really: it's about time someone adresses this matter. If this situation
was a lot more tolerable when the dollar and the euro were near parity, it
has now become unustainable! The AT-AT is almost DOUBLE the cost, for crying
out loud - even the UK has now lower prices compared to the continent!
Am I the only one thinking this has gone too far? Any thoughts?
