What? You can clearly tell.

Was on the phone bad quality now on the desktop yes you can and I feel stupid

I was in the US this week for work and picked up 75932 Jurassic park velociraptor chase for $33 which is about €30. I'm a huge fan of the film but the €53 price tag for what's a pretty small build had put me off picking it up over here.

Starting to play with the idea of picking up some of the Jurassic World sets and building a park!

Went for something a bit different recently as I always found the pics of this set really interesting.

I've been sorely tempted by that a good few times on ebay and bricklink! Think I'll bite the bullet soon.

$ 160 shipped from Panama and didn't get stung for customs, so not as expensive as I originally thought.

It's not on the store website anymore so there most be a few left on shelves around the country. Would love to get that set!

posting here actually to seek advice from ye seasonal buyers...i am going to get the Disney Castle set as a wedding gift actually (next February), the thing has been out since Oct 2016 so I am a bit worried that it might retire soon. Official RRP is 350e, so i bet i can get just well around 300e, what would you do if you were me?

(I saw a £290 on Bricklink from a UK seller and that seems like the best deal atm)

£290 is a great deal given how weak sterling is so you probably wouldn't get much better than that. Smyths do deals every September for €10 off €50 spent so you could potentially get it for less BUT they don't seem to sell it at the moment. The Lego store itself would be hit and miss as to whether they'd reduce it.

As such, I'd say take the £290 price.

I agree, get it now while you can, Smyths don't seem to stock it anymore and Lego rarely reduce sets.

At least with the official site you might get a gift set (might be a haloween themed one soon?) and you'd build up some loyalty points.
