  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?

  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 (...)
