It's over a metre tall and has 1969 pieces. It's $269 delivered to New Zealand. Go and order it now.

 

That is all.

Lies all lies, you are never to old.

 

I also find building lego relaxing while watching tv :)

If you buy 3 you don't have to pay the $70 shipping. Anyone in wellington want to coordinate and buy with me? I'll pay and you can pay me the 199 once it arrives.

 

cancel that

Watch it. 3 would push it over the GST amount if you are bringing it in from overseas

 

Might be better if you email toyco and ask when they are getting it as their prices are normally the same on the lego site but include GST etc

Are you suggesting that you'd buy a 2000-piece Lego kit for a child?

Lego store online purchases already include GST so you can buy as many as you want!

Who else? It's a toy isn't it?

 

 

 

I used to build the big technical sets when I was 10 years old or so. They had plenty of parts IIRC.

 

 

 

Which was 40 years ago. Yikes! surprised

10 years old 40 years ago, but that means you're younger than me - I don't understand, d'you mean that your user photo isn't actually an actual photo ? cool

 

P.S. Does the little guy with sunglasses mean something special ?

Obviously you coincidentally buy this stuff for your kids birthday, pretend to give it to him/her/it and end up building it yourself.

For once, a tempting ad!

 

And think of the money you'd save compared to the Lego!
