Going to the Netherlands...

[darkhorseoflego]

Hello all (mainly Dutch Brickpickers), I am flying to Amsterdam tomorrow for a few days and was wondering whether anyone could recommend anywhere that sells Lego that would be worth a look at. 

Thanks!

With the weak GBS and knowing that dutch stores are typically priced higher than other Euro countries, I think the question should be: which sets do you want me to bring and where do you want to meet to pick 'en up?

No. just no. You can't say I'm going to Amsterdam and then ask about lego.  You are killing me

Ha ha ha, that's funny. A Brit coming to The Netherlands and wondering if he can buy Lego here for a good price. With the Pound Sterling at such a low rate that Lego fans all over Europe are putting loads of orders with Amazon UK because of the great Lego deals there!

Unfortunately no Lego deals to make here. I almost never buy in the Netherlands because it's almost always RRP or above.  Exeption is SAH when they have double VIP with a nice promo but then I only pick up the sets that are equally priced as our German neighbors.

you are far better off checking the Brittish stores for deals..  But have fun in Amsterdam nonetheless

Just Enjoy your stay in Amsterdam. 

People visit Amsterdam for different reasons. And buying Lego isn't one of those reasons. Trust me.

The main thing I can recommend you is to go to cities like Rotterdam (new architecture) and Utrecht (like Amsterdam, but far less busy and expensive). You can easily take the train to both cities and it will give you a far more interesting experience and you get to meet nicer Dutch people (Amsterdam people loath tourists).

Lego-wise, you can bathe yourself in very expensive sets and go home feeling blessed with having such good offers in the UK

Forget about Lego in Amsterdam, enjoy the nightlife and go home with a big smile (and empty wallet)

And please call it Holland, as that'll really wind up those clog wearing, chewlip chewing, pot smoking Dutch
