Thank you. Also saw the news on FB. Enjoy!

Darn I was hoping they would put up the rest of the sets so that I could order the mansion and have it arrive before Christmas, but it’s been a couple of days now since the last sets were put up. I wonder if that’s it for now.

But still no chance in the UK of getting spare parts from the new sets.

Got a reply from DS, spare parts for the Victorian sets should be available in 1 week. Not sure if this will be the case for UK as well?

Since shortly after Brexit spares haven't been available in the UK.

Try again in the new year, Gordon (no chance before that) by sending an email to Customer Services with your list attached. They will do parts orders, despite what the uk website states.

And yes, this is a direct consequence of Brexit and everyone having to implement new export and customs procedures.

Thanks for that info, Graham, much appreciated.

Ended up pulling the trigger on the house since I received the three room sets today and fell in love with them.

I wonder if later on they’ll reoffer the extra floor. Then again if it’s on sale, I’d be tempted to get another house and use it to make a bigger mansion.

Isn't the 1st January the end of the Brexit transition period, making it even harder to send things from the EU to the UK?

The extra floor would be useful because it offers a single window wall and a straight connector, which gives a lot more potential in terms of varying what you can build.
