Hi Shamil £140 on amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000F6SU92/ref=s9_asin_title_1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=1T2A8NVYQBFZ517WDYFN&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=139045791&pf_rd_i=468294 I could get it here, parcel it up well and send it on but don't understand customs implications and don't imagine in any case there's any chance of it arriving in time for Xmas. Not sure how you'd pay me either as I don't take cc!! But if all else fails I'm happy to try to help. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk --------- Original Message -------- From: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> To: "'Access-D'" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: [AccessD] OT: LEGO Mindstorms NXT Date: 13/12/07 12:45 Hi All, It's not Friday yet but the subject OT issue is rather urgent here :) My minor son (6.5 year old) has just finished his letter to Santa in which he asks to bring him the LEGO Mindstorms as a Christmas/New year Eve gift... The fact is that when you check on http://shop.lego.com/Product/Default.aspx?p=8527 you'll find that this product is only available in United States if ordering it from this site... There is another option here in Russia: http://www.lego-go.ru/model_details.asp?id=1631 But the price for this option = 14900 roubles =~ 600USD is almost three times higher than the price there in United States... So, I decided to order the subj on Amazon com - I will have to pay some shipping costs and probably Russian customs will also charge me here with some custom duties but the issue isn't these money but the fact that I'm not sure that LEGO Mindstorms ordered on Amazon.com will come safely to Russia - I mean that there will be no some parts broken etc. - broken while traveling here... I have a Shengen Visa and for me it would take a couple/three hours to get to Finland by car - and here is my question: - if there is somebody from Finland here in AccessD and you have time could you check is that subject LEGO Mindstorms NXT toy available in Finland toy's shops - then I will drive there too purchase it (I expect the price will be in EURO - around EUR250-300... Another option for me could be Estonia or Sweden which are also not that far... Now you can see how simple on your side of the Globe things as ordering LEGO Mindstorms become a "hard-core" and expensive and tasks here... I just don't want to pay three times more money for the shop reselling LEGO Mindstorms here for ~USD600 - I'd better spend more money traveling to Finland, Estonia or Sweden to get purchased LEGO for my son - that promise to be some fun :) Maybe I will even have to reach Laplandia (it's not that fat from here) and to meet "real" Santa to make this wish of my minor son to come true this Christmas/New Year Eve...
