(...) 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)
