I would like one. If somehow there are extras or something my brother would like one too(he's not a member here

). If it needs to be sent without the box it's ok but if there is any kind of choice I would want the box.

Amazing that it is not being sold in the U.S. I would love to be able to buy five but will be extremely happy if I can buy one.

Thanks -

Sean

You may remove me from the want list, as I can see that it's getting pretty full. There's a guy in Italy on Bricklink selling the sets for $27 each, so I'm going to buy mine from him. That's a much better price than anyone else there is offering. He still has several left for anyone interested.

I just got the invoice and the guy didn't even charge me shipping! Maybe he's just doing this to help out other fans.

That doesn't seem right. He is basically selling them at cost and not charging shipping? Sometimes when something seems to good to be true, it is. Still, that sure is tempting.

If you check his splash page, he only accepts euro for the sets, at the current exchange rate it would equal roughly $33 usd. I contacted him and shipping to the us is $12 usd, overall about 45 usd total...kinda tempting but I will wait and see what happens here first.

It's weird, then. I bought two sets and he didn't charge me shipping. And he gave me the option to pay in Euros or USD. Either way, it's still a good price. And his feedback is immaculate. The sets seem to be going fast. There's 11 left as I type this and there were almost 30 when I posted earlier.

EDIT: I looked again at my invoice and his instructions on how much to pay didn't include shipping, then further down it did. So, it looks like I still owe him $15. Confusing.

Please put me down for one. I guess I need to visit more regularly to avoid being on the bottom of a list like this.

Utah, USA

I really do appreciate the effort of putting all this together. Cheers!

That makes more sense then. I wasn't saying that he was a scam artist or something, I was just saying that there was no way that he was selling the set to Americans for $27 shipped.

Count me in too. Please let us know if there is a possibility for multiples.

Thanks to all involved, both in the US and abroad, for making this happen!
