    Well damn....

    $329 is a wee bit steep!

    Feb 1st is earlier than I was expecting too!

    If it is that price at the lego shop it will likely still be $300 in Big W if they get it in at all.

    Sad thing is that the one off lego buyers will pay $300 for it and Lego will see it as a positive for their brand to keep making expensive licensed sets and overcharge for them. I know there are a lot of new figures being made here and it's a big set, but that is what the minifig line is for.

    No reason to have such a large price discrepancy between us and the US. Not event he Orthanc tower had such a price difference.

    That doesn't shock me. It is pretty much the European price (I think the UK price is almost dead on when converted).

    Might have to do the same though and hit up an American

    I've done some more maths, and think that the hassle to my friend isn't worth it...

    200 us is 222 aud atm, plus about 75 for shipping to here, it's not actually saving much at all....

    I'd use my mate if the dollar was closer to even, but might just get outright this time

    It's annoying when it says free shipping but the price is $330. USA Lego is. Us$199. Hell yeah it's free shipping.

    TOO EXPENSIVE!!! The house does not look that attractive either.. I would take the huge LOTR black tower any time.
    I been waiting for that Black Tower set to be released in Australia since I got two black gate sets followed by the Star wars Ewok treehouse set

    Coz it will be wanted by boys and girls aged 4 to 40!!!! Massive customer base without many of the limits normal ranges have when it comes to themes such as age ranges or gender

    $329 is out of the question. What's worse is that you can't ship Lego overseas from American retailers now. Scumbag Lego. I could deal with the prices, but only when I have another way of getting them.
