US S@H prices now available!

 

  • US S@H prices now available!

    Posted by Huw, 20 Oct 2007 18:25. Filed under shop.LEGO.com (General).

    North Americans, your wait is over! I have the US feed and you can now see US prices, direct product links and the 'Buy' page shows what's available from S@H.

    The country detection code should send you off to the right page but in case it doesn't, you can switch to the US page from the UK one and vice-versa. When you have done that once, it will remember your preference.

    I plan to add plenty more features in the coming weeks: Sets available only in the US, only in the UK, new sets at S@H, maybe even a chart showing the sets with the best and worse $/£ ratios (but LEGO might not like that!)

    If you like what I'm doing, encourage me to do more by buying your sets from my links!

    Update: I think the complexity of the queries to support this functionalty is causing some pages to timeout. If you experience such problems, please persevere or try again later. I'll have to work on optimising them in the next few days.

Huw, I think its great what you're doing. You should definetly keep up the good work!

P.S: I think the Ratio idea is pretty cool, it would be interesting to see.

Nice

I like the Idea of the ratio

I think the timeout problems have been fixed. If anyone still experiences them, please let me know.

Thanks Brickset!

I think that is AWESOME!!!! LOVE THE RATIO IDEA!!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!

By USD / UKP ratio... I hope you mean "price per brick"? That would give you an idea of value for the money.

And how about adding more countries and currencies? I live in Denmark and can't really use UK nor US for anything other than seeing how much cheaper everything is in USA.

Posted by Huw in United Kingdom, 22 Oct 2007 05:59

I'd love to add more countries but unfortunately the link network I am using is only contracted by LEGO UK and LEGO USA so data for the rest of the world is unavailable to me.

Sweet! I buy in USA money, but want to pay cheaper by using my friends down in Europe. Or is that a pounds sign...

Ratios are so on!

I'm on the ON side of Legos. Are you?

Support local Lego store or support web site I frequently use.... oi!

Actually I can use you guys for the sets that I only find at Target/Toys-R-Us and not at the Lego store. Not sure how that happens but my problems may be solved.

Posted by bigz123 in United States, 23 Oct 2007 16:21

will you have prices for the older sets like jedi defence?

Posted by Imperial13 in United States, 23 Oct 2007 18:42

why would he? i guess it might be cool to know how much stuff sells for. Think about how much work it would be ucovering all the prices

Posted by bigz123 in United States, 23 Oct 2007 19:47

sorry i asked!

i mean when i was little my mom got me some legos and i was just wondering what the price would be!

Posted by Imperial13 in United States, 23 Oct 2007 19:57

did you know on set 7037 there is a new super cool helmet?

Posted by brickbuilder711 in United States, 24 Oct 2007 18:45

Great! Helps a lot.

I buy in Canadian dollars, but this is still a nice update.

With the canadian and US dollar at parody for a month now, lego cant keep justifying the 25% price difference between Cad and Us prices on sets. maybey if people like me keep barking at them they will change it within a couple months.

Posted by Monty in United Kingdom, 25 Oct 2007 04:15

Now you can really see the difference between USA and Rip off Britain - just remember currently 1 GBP = 2 USD.

"canadian and US dollar at parody."

Meanwhile the Australian dollar is approaching *parity*. How Canadians and Americans make fun of their currency is up to you.

@ David1985: not quite.....lol

P.S. KEWL! thanks Huw!

Posted by LuvKernow in United Kingdom, 01 Nov 2007 18:18

@David1985, um, it'd be more expensive to buy Lego in the States, as I'd have to flog 500 quid for a flight to, say, NYC, just to buy cheaper Lego...

Hm?
