    Just wondering did you order that big set before brexit kicked in or after? Just wondering if you got caught with import fees etc. From them.

    it was after (end of January) and all i paid was the standard Delivery charge of about €3ish...they did ship from the UK with Hermes though so it took a week longer than expected.
    BREXIT UPDATE
    zavvi can confirm that your shopping experience will not be impacted, and you will be able to continue to place orders as usual.

    For customers located in the EU, most of our products will ship from our distribution centre within the EU and therefore ordering with us will continue as normal.

    For any products shipping from the UK to addresses in the EU, tax and duties will be settled on your behalf with our courier, so there is no cost to you.

    I really hope this goes out of stock before I have a couple of beers later and decide that this is too good of an offer to turn down!! At the moment I’m wondering how I’d even find the time never mind justify the outlay! Great offer....

    Already have the batmobile and just finished building the batwing this afternoon!

    That bundle is amazing value, and they're great builds tbh.

    Looking forward to getting renovations finished on the house, and then wall mount the batwing!

    Says the Lunar Lander is in stock for home delivery but out of stock in all stores??

    I sold my (new, unopened) set for more than that!!! Was tempted for a sec there.

    All their stock for everything is out of stock because they arent open. Home delivery only for everything.

    Where is the best place to sell unopened Lego? Have a set or 2 that my young boys won’t appreciate

    D'oh. I was able to click and collect a TV from Power City a few weeks back, and sure Smyths is only next door... :pac:

    I just posted here that I was thinking of selling it and got a PM! Depends on whether your set is in demand I suppose and how keen the buyer is to save a few quid over just ordering it online (assuming it's still available) also covid wasn't in the equation then.

    Life ain't always empty.

    Check out people that are selling similar sets on Adverts and see what the going rate for European sellers on Bricklink, it'll give you a good ballpark for what is a good selling price rather than the 'throw a dart while blindfolded' pricing scheme you sometimes see online.
