I ask you, the great people of Classic-Castle.com, to point me in the direction of a good deal from shop at home for £40.00 . I am English and want something good, so please help /\/\E!

Thanks in advance!

If I was in England, I would definitely check out ebay.uk for great deals on classic sets. However, from shop at home I usually look in the "sales and deals" section and perhaps buy a set or two that are only available from SAH and not in stores.

There are so many good deals in UK on eBay. There is at least one every week.

However, from S@H, I'd say get KK2. You may not like every aspect of it, but for Castle pieces it is the way to go. Except if you are able to get Harry Potter, then buy those (full of great and unique pieces).

As I understand from various British posters, KK2 is not yet available at their S@H.

But if you want to get some, hang onto that money a while. Surely it won't be long before they're available.

Sorry, but what is 40 pounds (I think that is what that sign is) converted to US dollars, or even better Canadian? Thanks.

£1.00 = $2.44 CAD
£40.00 = $96.89 CAD

£1.00 = $1.83 USD
£40.00 = $73.24 USD

Currency Converted using XE.com

Not a bad bit of change in Canda or in the US for Lego anyway. Do they pay VAT in GB though? Because if they do, they will lose all advantage over the USD especially when you consider prices are higher in GB than they are here in North America.

You could by an "encounter" with Vladek's mom.

Hmmmm, well if I had all that cash, I would go onto bricklink and by all the pieces that I need and don't have.

According to Shop@Home, you can still get both the
Black Falcon Fortress and the Blacksmith Shop from
Lego UK, for 30 pounds each.
