Whoa, 30% of mind storm EV3... That never happens, right?
Not often!
Am I missing the sarcasm? Its been at £210 more than half of 2015.
they went to 27% but all gone back up to about 7% off now
I don't see these discounts. Was it a glitch?
I still see them all.
hmmm...
still not cheaper than amazon.fr
I do not see the discounts,couldn't of lasted long. Amazon seem to have put the prices back up
and now most new sets down to just 2% discount except for the buildable sets which are now back up to 27% discount...
The full list of UK discounts can be seen at http://brickset.com/buy/country-uk/vendor-amazon/order-percentdiscount - there are literally hundreds of sets reduced by 27% or more right now, so I'm not sure what's driving the comments above about prices being put back up and discounts not being visible.
The top part of the Amazon alerts only flags NEWLY discounted items, i.e. items which have been discounted since the last alert. Maybe it's this that's causing confusion?
Amazon prices regularly change several times per day as I keep my 'next LEGO purchases' in my basket or saved for later and periodically refresh during the day and it tells you the last price change compared to your existing basket price.
like just now, Kylo Ren set just went down by 1p:-
LEGO Star Wars 75104: Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle has decreased from £98.12 to £98.11
Mindstorms still at 30% here (from a UK IP address). Tons of others too. Wow. Just had my birthday already though :-(
I had it too - checked the JW raptor escape set as it was listed in the first discount alert, only to find it was already priced as 20% more than RRP!
You need to be quicker :)
nice!
