Is there anyone here who doesn't live in the UK who can try something for me?

My boy is desperate for a Lego thing, you can't buy it in the UK, if you go to the Lego shop it says 'not available in your country' which winds me the fuck up. Oh I can get it here......off Ebay.......3-4 times the price.

So can any of you Johnny foreigners please see if you can buy this? You don't have to pay just add it to your basket and try and checkout, if it lets you I will be your best friend forever if you could buy it for me and post it over when it arrives, obviously I could transfer the money or Paypal or whatever with more for your trouble if you insist :D

A big ask but worth a try, it would make a little boy very happy.

Doesn't seem available in France or Switzerland. However I couldn't seem to access it in the UK either? Said the product does not exsist anymore? Could that have been a limited edition thing which is why its so expensive on ebay?

Seems to be US only. Its on Amazon.com - not cheap, but they might take your order (although maybe not. Amazon used to ship anywhere, but they refused to take my order for a logitech remote for shipping from the UK to Ireland last week, so who knows?) Looks like its a limited edition and all the sellers are raping the market. Sorry.

Buggery, cheers lads but it looks like they have taken the item off the Lego shop. The price on there was £24.99 so you can now see why I am reluctant to be ripped off.

The boy would be happy with just the Harley Quinn mini figure but thats around £15-£20, people really do take the piss.

and dont forget you have to pay for the duty/vat on the shipment.

Not VAT (only on downloads), and if you can show the RRP there probably wouldn't be duty either at that price.

We are talking about the US Amazon? You are absolute correct if the purcharse is from a EU amazon.
I am not sure about the UK laws, but I dont think there is much difference between import laws in the EU. For Belgium for instance you do pay for VAT on the value of the transport, even if you do not pay for the transport (and Amazon gets massive discounts on their freight which gets ignored)
Yes you might get it back your money back but to save yourself loads of effort just shop at an EU site.
