There's also the problem that the dollar is pretty weak compared to the Euro, so if (...) (20 years ago, 20-Aug-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.general) !

|
| Here is my take on the math USD - 40 in EUR approx 32.40 EUR. BUT in USA taxes are on top, in Europe, ~25% VAT is included so 40.63 EUR would be the VAT INCLUDED PRICE. SO the price seems to make sense no?? (20 years ago, 18-Aug-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)
