Some great prices in comparison to what we get fleeced with here in NZ. A pity they don't deliver outside Europe!
Be aware that these very prices are without VAT. So count 19 to 21% extra.

Still cheaper than NZ!

No, "All prices incl. VAT plus shipping costs"

No , I just checked it for eu buyers , taxes are not included.
"
I just made my order and the final prices were as announced. Only the shipping costs were updated on checkout since they're not the same within Germany and the rest of EU.
But the prices were all over the place depending on which page you checked. Like the Mos Eisley Cantina was 275€ on the rare sets section but 325€ on the Star Wars one. But it was 325€ in the cart no matter what, though.
(oh wait, now that I look at the numbers, it does look like they sometimes do and sometimes don't include vat :/ very confusing indeed )
Interesting that the mystery box has DK branding on the bottom right corner, suggesting it is some form of book or book related...

The description of the mystery box says that it includes a LEGO Star Wars set, a DK LEGO Star Wars book, a Star Wars polybag, a Star Wars exclusive minifig and another LEGO Star Wars mystery item.
Aka some rubbish no one really wants!
Given that mystery boxes are a common way for retailers to off-load unshiftable stock I suspect that whatever people imagine this to be the contents are not going to live up to the anticipation.
The imagine on the JB Spielwaren website says "Placeholder-box - finished box differs ;-)" below the image so its size and proportions don't even necessarily mean anything.
The Intimidator looks absolutely awesome.
When you go to their site the first time, prices are without VAT (saw this on 08 March, when first mentioned, on my laptop ) and now with my smartphone.
Once the coockies know your country the prices are with VAT.
Some excellent MOC's for purchase, although they'd blow a hole in my bank account, and probably marriage. Does anyone know if the instructions for these are avail. for purchase separately? That BSG Viper is beautiful...

I was wondering what happened to the prices. The UCS A-Wing was 155€ and then after I registered it went up to 185€. cheeky. very cheeky.

Send it to ReShip, and they will forward it to anywhere in the world. http://www.reship.com They have a UK shipping address too. Here is a $10 USD discount code for shipping if you use their services: 1H8M1NL9A
Edit:
PS - I am in North America, and I am intending to purchase this. I intend to ship mine to ReShip and that gets me around the "do not ship outside Europe" rule
They are already sold out...
