Does anybody know what to expect if you're ordering from the UK? I can't find anything mentioned specifically and the last time I used them we were still part of the single market.
Are Looney Tunes minifigures are in boxes of 72? Or is that the price for two boxes? I’m wondering if that receipt from the “leak” was incorrect, because this price seems far more reasonable.
Hi Huw. The discount is very misleading. You dont save €52.99 as advertised. The box is already marked as €236.99. The code gives a €4 discount which effectively means postage is free.

Given it's over £`130 you'll potentially be liable for duty and VAT on receipt if it's stopped at the border.
The discount given with that Promo Code is not €54.29. It’s only of €4. Why is this happening again Brickset?
In series 21 Brickset also announced an extraordinary discount with the Promo Code that in fact never was given. This is ridiculous.
As everybody seems to lose their collective minds how about we stand back and look at the numbers?
A quick sample of a number of European countries show the CMFs at €3.99. So a box of 72 would be €287.28.
Minifigure Madness show that rounded down price on their page along with the discounted price of €236. So when applying the discount code, as long as you reach a total of €232.99 before P&P etc. then the details posted by Huw are correct.
You all seem to be losing your s??t because the discount total includes a discount already applied by the site. The saving isn't wrong, you will still save that over purchasing a full box direct from LEGO or anywhere else that is applying RRP.

It seems you believe that every buyer should know the “official” retail price (of Lego? of Walmart? of other big retailer?).
No, what the Brickset Post advertising the discount says is:
“72 Minifigures for only €232.99 when you enter code Brickset102 at checkout, a saving of €54.29 / £49.70 / $81.90 USD.”
The baseline price for pointing that saving should obviously be the MM price without the Promo Code.
Otherwise the Brickset Post is what it is: misleading, erroneous and false.
By the way, if you don’t (want to) understand other peoples perspectives, you don’t need to insult their mental status.
I think the wording is perfectly clear and unambiguous. Apply the code you make that saving. Don't apply it, you still make a saving but not as much. There's no point mentioning that as there's no reason not to use the code.
You really should stop partnering with this cowboy company.

Essentially, they're telling you up front that they're not going to abide by EU/Irish consumer laws, and don't give you a trading address so you can ask the authorities to help or to lodge legal papers.
I've never had any problems with MinifigureMaddness.com orders to USA. I'm on the list for these since I was late with my order today.
Why such a big box with 72 figures, all other boxes had 36.
