You have to get on ZB's mailing list. They send out coupons periodically. Last weekend that same set was an additional 25% with the ZB coupon for 25% any clearance item.

In my shopping trip today, I found 6977 Arachnoid Star Base on clearance for $50. I picked up two (main reason, for the quarter saucer bottoms).

I did not see the 4560 set in Sweden, only 4561. I'm not sure luggging a train set back would be very easy either! Those boxes are pretty large. I will take a look while I am there and let you know.
