Re: [US/CAN] Free Castle Mini Build on September 12

I've found that the staff is more likely to let kids under 6 participate if its towards the end of the build. The staff at our store has said they don't like to handout cards to 3 or 4 year olds when there are a bunch of older kids in line behind them---they don't want to risk running out before th...

Re: Bricklink Orders actual end total fees importing to Cana

A lot of sellers pretty clearly state that they will not "fake" customs declarations right up front.

Again, if you stick regular mail, I think in most cases you'll be fine.

Re: [US/CAN] Free Castle Mini Build on September 12

At the Sherway store in Toronto, I've seen them give the cards for a build to children in strollers who were clearly under 2 or 3. Not sure if the do any enforcing on the top end of the age range, but it seems as long as you've been born you can "do" a build there.

Re: Bricklink Orders actual end total fees importing to Cana

I've made about 60-70 Bricklink orders - most from the USA, some from Canada and a few from Europe (Poland, Germany). All my orders have shipped by regular post from the country of origin, and I've never paid import duties, taxes, brokerage, etc on them. I'd say most orders have the green customs st...

Re: LEGO Blue Bird - May 2013 Mini Model Build

The bird is really cute. I have not cracked the method to the madness that is mini model build night. We arrived at 4:30 and the line was huge, but it moved fast. The model was small number of pieces wise/easy to build and I think that helped. By 5:30 (when we have arrived in the past), there was p...

Re: Toys R Us Flyer Apr 19-25

Little question concerning this UK amazon Gungan Sub deal... Do you ever get charged import fees or taxes on top? Also, the UPS fee is random, in case they decide to go with UPS? Thanks a bunch, quite a good price for the set! In my experience, if it comes via DHL out of Germany, it will (a) take a...

Re: Toys R Us Flyer Apr 19-25

These sets were overpriced and lingered at the shelves since they were released. I am not surprised TRUs finally offers discount, but I actually expect to see 9499 Gungan Sub on sale before 9526 Palpatine's Arrest. After all, 40% off is a good deal. Thx for the head up. I believe the exclusive Quee...

Re: Amazon.co.uk - Lego City Passenger Train 7938 £66.99

Ordered 2 train stations a few weeks back (they've been at this price for a while) - great deal compared to the crazy Canadian price on this one. They both shipped from Germany via DHL so that should mean no duty. Still waiting for them mind you, but not in a rush to get them.

Re: [CAN] Toys R Us Flyer April 12-April 18

Does Toys R Us Canada pull the same BS as their American stores? By that I mean do they increase prices and pull stock depending on their current sale? I figure the cheapest we can get this in the States is in November when S@H does their Cyber Monday promo. $180 - 10% + Free Shipping + VIP Points ...
