Anyone not aware.
Lego are increasing prices on September the 1st.

Up to 25 percent with many in the 15 to 20pc range.

If anyone has any good deals. They've spotted please share!

I'm getting the pyramid for 100 from very.
Down from 125 to 100.

After September 1st that could be 150 retail for example

Check the French and German Amazon sites, architecture always seems to be discounted on there for whatever reason.

The actual lamp is a miniature fresnel lens, which is very cool. So you don’t just get a light, you get the actual beam from it.The lamp in the cottage looks lovely as well

Two minutes later:

I know! It's the first one I've bought since the shuttle though! It's one I really wanted!

I bought 2 sets so I can make the full pyramid

Justify it because of the government free 400 pound thingy!

Non, it’s made in the EU and VAT is added at the basket. Amazon gives you the landed price when ordering. Pay in euros using a fee fee credit card for the lowest price.

Edit it’s about £86 on the German Amazon.

Amazing. You're not wrong. The discounts are substantial. Not just on architecture!

Thanks for this.

Yeah that's where I've gotten a lot from.

Why are they so much cheaper out of interest? Whenever I Google sets, it's normally in pounds, I'm not sure it's ever shown me EU websites.

No this is why I've missed out too!
Never seen amazon de on Google search for lego.
The argos ones etc are highlighted!

 

[b0rn2sk8]

Normally google doesn't give you international shopping links.

Don't you have to pay import duty though?

As I understand it. All taxes and xharges are covered in the price.

I was in the loft yesterday getting rid of some old stuff only to discover an untouched Technic 8110 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400 box sitting in a large black bin bag covered in dust!
Found the purchase email in an archive and I bought it in August 2011 for £154.99! It must have got up there when the house was being redecorated and never came down again.
Yet another addition to my build list for later this year.

If something is made in the EU there shouldn’t be any import duty. Emphasis on made in the EU, not sold in the EU. You have to pay U.K. VAT on the purchase but either way, Amazon sort it out for you, the price on the screen is the price you pay.
