Hi Mario,
the toy shop your reffering to is at Konstabler Wache. This right in the city
center/pedestrian zone. Can´t remember the name, but it belongs to the Vedes
toystore chain.
At the moment there are some really good offers for trains and for the technic
space shuttle, as well for 2 castle sets.
About prices in Germany: The prices are very different from shop to shop.
There can be price differences up to 20% without a sign that says "reduced" or
anything. For example: the "normal" price for 7128 Speeder Bikes is DM 24,95,
but there are also shops selling it for DM 19,95 as "normal" price !
Next time you come to Germany post a message to lugnet.loc.de like Larry and
we get something started... :)
Ciao, dö
