7 Simpson Houses at average 168 Euro each, regarding the retired state of this set it should be easy 50 Euro profit for each in the next months...

Dunno. Look at Pet Shop. 3 year life, plenty of discounts means there is abundant stock.

The PS was hardly discounted in the UK apart from a short-lived 20% off at Smyths. This set is a turkey and not recovering RRP yet after fees and P&P.

Simpsons Houses available from me at RRP as I have no hope for this set either. We HATE The Simpsons in the UK.

Tell that to the people paying £70 for a full set of simpson series 1 CMF's.  A series that was available at £60 a box.  

The Simpsons House is a really fun build.  Whilst it may not reach the a huge uplift in the after market (which big sets do these days) that fact will make it desirable.

Pity. They did actually have them at that price in store last summer.

B&N sale... perfect timing a week after their $60 for $50 GC deal.  The icing on the cake was the Ender Dragon (only 30%).  Avg 59% off RRP.  Shout out to landphieran for breaking the story.  I'd have missed it without that 2am post.

Speaking of dinosaurs;  bought 4 IRex and a Skyra's tonight at TRU.  Been eyeing them for a couple of weeks and finally had the time to ask the wife if she'd open a CC account.  My awesome wife dragged 3 kids under 7 yo for a 20 min drive to sign up.  Disregard the Technique set.  Bought it for my dad so the kids can put it together Christmas day.  He's always wanted a yellow Corvette.  All in perfect shape.

*Sorry, I know, wrong thread.  I've requested a move.

Good score! Another reason that I want TRU to disappear is that some branches still have long-retired sets which hold us up a bit. A buddy bought a Grand Emporium (a squashed box of course!) which was still sealed and complete for £100 only a few weeks ago and they still had Tumblers too!

interesting exchange rate.. when I look at that site (Xerion Claas for 599 PLN), here it equals to 129 GBP (given that I first use conversion from PLN to CZK.. and subsequently CZK to GBP based on the official rate issued by the National Bank)

dont even look at the lego.com/PL-ENG or whatever that website is.
all of the Legos can be found on allegro.pl for 70% of the RPP, Technics sometimes for 60% of RPP with orderes possible for large quantities. If you gonna go off service to avoid fees (+tax dodging) you can negotiate even further with shipping "cash on collection".
If you really wish you can request seller to make a cross post on https://aukro.cz/ so you will be able to buy in poland with shipping to CZ within same service. Like amazon.

people in UK thinks they are winning their lives with buy in for 60-70% of RPP which is base price in PL with many possibilities to negotiate it even lower.
There is no official retail chain of TLG so all the distribution is B2B based. And the competition is high thats why LEGO in PL are dead cheap comparing to other countries (except flagship exclusives)

I saw few sellers from Zgorzelec/Gorlitz (border City between Czech, Germany and Poland) with ridiculous large quantities available, highly likely they get their sets from Kladno as well as WH in Germany.

You probably didnt get it - i went to that website you mentioned (empik.com). Its got Class Xerion listed for 599 PLN (that is what I see here).. and the rest is just official exchange rate from PLN -> CZK -> GBP at the end.  so it would seem like your exchange rate PLN/GBP was waaay different than CZK/GBP although Czech Crown is currently one the most appreciating currencies worldwide .. its just really weird the rate you mentioned.. its like you get 1 GBP for 8 PLN
