Surely that’s one of the biggest day 1 discounts ever?! It’s been out just over 9 hours and reducing it by 34%?! Not complaining, just ordering!! :-)

Ive ordered one, its says from Amazon eu so fingers crossed. I have had a few go well but also had some where they have taken weeks to try to get one for the price they sold to me and then cancelled my order.

And I bet you this, like all the other Arts sets, will drop even further. The lowest I've seen any of these was 69,95 Euro.

Very tempted for the parts. I'd be more tempted if I didn't think it would see deeper price cuts in the future.

I've had the same experience - of the Lego I've ordered that shows with the seller as Amazon EU, about 1 in 4 orders has got lost in transit and never arrived. Amazon won't then resend or price match themselves, either, and simply refund you. It's strange since you'd think they wouldn't lose things internally within their own delivery system, or at least not so frequently, and I've almost never had the same issue with a UK-stocked Amazon item.

I like that chunky brick separator

I suppose with chains and such being completely out of whack probably isn’t helping matters.

UK buyers beware. It’s discounted on Amazon EU, so you might have to pay customs charges (all thanks to Brexit!)

Thanks Huw. Then I stand corrected!

Ordering goods from overseas to the UK has become a minefield of import duties, VAT, spurious surcharges from carriers and delays, so it’s good to know that doesn’t apply to purchases from Amazon EU (and I realise it doesn’t apply to orders from Lego itself).

They seem to be out of stock already. ??

9x9 or 3x3 for the Spaceman? (or 48x48 ?!)

Oh yeah, I hadn't noticed that. It looks like it'll separate about eight 1x1s at a time, like a piece plough! Let's hope there's more than one spare of each colour then... *pingpingping*

You can order from Amazon de. They will calculate shipping and import duties at check-out so you can see the final price before buying.

41% discount off of the Swiss price (Amazon de delivered to Switzerland)!

"It just goes to show retailers often know how to price items more realistically than lego themselves."
Maybe but it’s also possible - indeed likely - that LEGO deliberately over-priced it knowing that retailers would discount it from the start. It allows retailers to claim they’re offering a discount off RRP. Illogically, people will buy products they wouldn’t have otherwise just because they think they’re getting a good deal.

89 euros for 4000 1x1 dots?
just google diamond painting and get literally the exact same thing but for 10-20 bucks.
a proper price for these art sets should be 20-30 at most

Moving anything to UK is becoming more expensive day by day. If I understand correctly, one reason is because during the pandemic the entire European transport system has seen a rapid spread of digital technologies which allow companies and even single truckers to select the most profittable routes and delivery contracts in real time.
These technologies were spreading even before, but Covid accelerated the process or so it seems.
As a consequence, road hauliers now actively avoid the France-UK transit routes whenever they can, because if they have to wait a long time at customs stations they literally lose money.

So surchargers applied to customers are used to mitigate the risk of additional expenses, I suppose.
