Lynx, These are nice sets!
I have a question....when you provide the price, it does include the VAT, doesn't it?
 
Sets like these usually sell for about 11USD at TRU. Most US states have sales taxes on goods of 4 to 8 per cent. In North Carolina we pay 7.5 %; so a 10USD toy costs an extra 75 cents in taxes in our stores.

Does anyone know if 10E is the regular price for these sets in the EU? If so, that puts them at around 15USD each. So this set appears to be pricier in this store than in US TRU stores.

Just trying to get a feel for price differences. Of course everywhere stand alone (single/independent) toystores may sell them for much more in order to make profit on toys, their major sources of sales. And some larger chains have much higher prices in the US, like Learning Express and its 4.99 fi?ures.  Thanks, Pgal

Weren't you in Brussels too, lately?. Or was it Malta?  :!: Wait, wasn't it London as well?!
I could be wrong, but are you travelling a lot around Europe?
You could be our ideal supplier for exclusive or rare sets from different countries!  ;D

Seems like a good action, I didnt see it on tv yet.

Personly I work at the C1000 (one of the largest supermarkets of the Netherlands) and all we have here is fake lego at the moment..
I pity the children who receive that fake garbage of Sluban.

Yeah. I travel a lot  ::)

I went up to Amsterdam to do the 'Amsterdam' thing ... what with them introducing tighter regulations for coffeeshops early next year, and the wife deciding that she'd had enough of spending her Saturdays and Sundays in Brussels. I think I have some PM spares I don't need, here. It's part of that haul I got from the St Catherine flea market around teh time of my bday. If you guys are ever down here (I'm thinking of Gis too) you can have them. I'm not sure it's your theme, but you don't look a gift horse in the mouth do you  ;D :)
