LEGO Sales & Deals at UK Amazon (Now Shipping Worldwide)

Post by Toys N Bricks » Mon Feb 20, 2012 8:13 pm


There are a couple nice LEGO Sales & Deals at UK Amazon right now including a discontinued 29% off LEGO Star Wars 8097 Slave I set for £58.49 (reg.£81.99). As always, remember that the Britain Amazon site offers free shipping to United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland) with no minimum purchase and free shipping to other parts of Europe when you spend £25 or more.

Other LEGO Sales at UK Amazon includes City LEGO Truck for £16.89, Anakin's & Sebulba's Podracers for £54.56 and Hoth Rebel Trooper Battle Pack for £7.00. The discontinued Hoth Wampa Cave is also available for a great price for £25.77. For those living outside of the UK, exchange rate is roughly £1 = €1.2. Lots more hot LEGO deals can be found here.

International Shipping - New!

First Item: £22.58 - Additionl Items: £1.59
Plus 16.7% off Euro tax discount!

Amazon UK is now shipping most LEGO worldwide with new and lower international shipping rates! Priority Express Shipping (2-4 days) starts at £22.58 for the first item and each additionl items after that are only £1.59 each. This means that the more you order, the better the deal! If you are from countries with extremely high prices like Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and Korea, you can get some amazing deals. Check the LEGO Sales & Deals UK List and start grabbing some amazing LEGO deals!

Example: In Australia, a new Anakin's Podracer set cost $149.99 AUD. If you order one set from Amazon UK, you can get it for £45.47 + £22.58 = £68.05 (~$102.08 AUD based on 1.5 rate). Thats like a 32% off LEGO sale in Australia. If you order 2 sets, its £90.94 + £24.17 = £115.11 (~172.67 AUD). Now that works out to be 43% off! The key is the fixed cost of shipping for the first item. If you order more, the better the deal because shipping is only £1.59 for each additional item.

Canada/US Shipping (Not really a deal for US, but for Canada) - New!

First Item: £4.95 - Additional Items: £2
Plus 16.7% off Euro tax discount!

If you are from Canada/US, you can use standard shipping instead (6-10 days). Shipping starts at £4.95 for the first item and each additionl items after that are only £2 each. Example: In Canada, a new Anakin's Podracer set cost $119.99 CAD. If you order from Amazon UK, you can get it for £45.47 + £4.95 = £50.42 (~$80.67 CAD based on 1.6 rate). Thats like a 33% off LEGO sale in Canada! Keep in mind however that you may be subject to customs if you are from Canada. This rate is usually $8.5 handling fee + the tax in your province (i.e HST in Ontario and BC).

Not attrative to Asian buyers, as the discount rate can barely cover the shipping rate (unless a real bulk purchase)

The variety of goods are limited: no 10xxx series, no DC, even no Friends...... major SW.....

Off topic: Why SW keeps having discount everywhere? The sales figures decline in this season?

Looks like SW sales got hit by DC theme and possibly the upcoming Marvel and LOTR

The way shipping is calculated, only the larger sets make it worthwhile. And in Singapore, we can't go above 200 pounds without incurring extra tax.

So getting 4 or 5 big sets at one go is probably the only way to save some money. Buying just one set can forget about the whole idea.

Great deal for Ninjago Fire Temple.

For Canadians, it comes out to 46.16 GBP (just under $75 CDN) after shipping. That's more than 50% off!

Also, Hogwarts Castle is 73.28 GBP (around $115 CDN) after shipping. That's ove 35% off... not bad!

If you are ordering from UK Amazon directly to an address in USA will you have to pay any import taxes etc or anything like that?
