Amazon.co.uk - Lego City Passenger Train 7938 £66.99

Post by wilandirene » Wed Apr 17, 2013 3:46 pm

I found this on sale @ Amazon UK. After taking out VAT, the total for me (Canada) was £61, which works out to $95 CDN (probably $100 after credit card exchange fees). If it ships UPS, add $10 + tax (PST/GST/HST) to the total. This is only my 2nd order with them, hoping it ships DHL (which it did last time so I didn't have to pay additional duties/taxes). I think it's a pretty good deal.

Thanks. I picked up the Passenger Train and Train Station for $129 shipped to the US. Basically got the Train Station for free or ~30% off everything after NY taxes.

EDIT: ETA is May 8th. That seems a tad long but oh well. I'll forget about it and it will be a surprise when it shows up.

Ordered 2 train stations a few weeks back (they've been at this price for a while) - great deal compared to the crazy Canadian price on this one. They both shipped from Germany via DHL so that should mean no duty. Still waiting for them mind you, but not in a rush to get them.

Wow. I'm still new at this Limited Lego run/pricing fluctuations thing. I assumed the trains were strong enough sellers that they never went on sale. So when I got lucky and was able to buy a damaged package passenger train for 10% off during double points I was pumped. Thanks for the tip/info willandirene! I'll know better next time. :think:

This is a great deal.. It was still available for me today. Thanks a lot! -- I picked up another set of flexible tracks for 12 GBP too.

Total is about $120 CAD to ship to West Coast Canada, much better than $179.99 @TRU for just the train.

@jhuynh, I received mine today. It shipped UPS and even after brokerage fees/tax it ended up being $120 CDN or so.

Mine had a 14$ charge on it from UPS, around 110 total with taxes, compared to the retail Canadian Pricing of 187 for me.

Did some math on this, if ordering just one, being handle by UPS, the set would be around 35% cheaper than CAN MSRP. For those that are ordering a couple and lucky enough to be handled by DHL, then this deal is for them since they are getting it for 40%+!
