I just went to eToys.com to check out the lego-SW sale they have. I was really excited over the prices, some really good sets are 50% off, and I rushed to order them - seemed like a *great* deal. That is, until I reached the checkout and saw the (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.market.shopping)

You think that's bad, at KB toys online it's $3.00 base plus a $1.50 for each item shipped. It's only really worth it if you buy a couple of big sets at the same time with a decent discount. They have 20% off right now but their prices are 20% (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.market.shopping)

As for kbkids.com, I placed several orders last night, and there was NO shipping charges on any of them. Of course, you'd never know this until going to the checkout screen, as that is the only place it came up. Now, if I actually GET what I ordered (...)

(...) It depends on what you buy, and how many. (...) I assume you bought either the Lightsaber Duel or the Droid Starfighter?-- regularly $5.99? Well, if you're paying $2.99 + $.95 for shipping, you're still saving 33% over the retail price. In (...) (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) OK, some actual data. I once bought these -- all listed as 50% off regular price -- this is actual data from the receipt: --- -------- ---...--- ------- -------- Qty Item # Description Price Total --- -------- ---...--- ------- -------- 16 (...)

(...) Thanks for pointing this out: I managed to overlook this little tidbit, and made at least one decision to pass on buying a bunch of small sets on closeout because the extra buck apiece made them a lot less attractive.

Is Brickwise working? It seems to always have wrong prices in it. Did you ever figure out a way to put the date/time of the last update on the Brickwise pages? And by the way: There seems to be no more max shipping at eToys. My shipping cost was $46 (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.market.shipping)
