This one is sold for approximately 6 EURO!!! I thought it is just two specials minus the kid in snowflake tee. With similar price I would rather get the 4889 with more gimmicks. :wave:

I suppose this is the price this set will have in the greek market as well... Although I have a feeling we'll not get it for some reason...

Things in Greek market is more expensive comparing to other EU members? This is the impression I got from you.

Depends on store managers... You might get a special for 1.99 at some store, but for 2,59 at others... midium sets vary with a small difference of 2 to 5 euros and most times a set might cost, in our case 6 euros, but after a few months, the stores might sell it for 4 euros...

So, no great difference in the prices as opposed to other EU markets but VAT, import tax etc etc might make it a bit more expensive... For example a 3315 knight was sold at 7.50 when VAT was at 19%.... Today VAT has rise to 23% so its price is about 9 euros  :omg: :omg: :omg:

9 EURO is still reasonable comparing to the HKD115 price tag, which is translated to 11 EURO. But it is still better than LEGO. Their prices are more inflated than playmobil.

The set is sold at ToysRUS for $4.99 + tax - so we are looking currently at about 4 EUR.
