Comments
First off, a general remark. When ordering from another country, Amazon will typically apply local VAT to the order. Local being the country where the goods are delivered - i.e. the one you reside in. This means that the amount you pay might differ from the advertised amount as the advertised amount includes German VAT (19%). The rate applicable for your delivery address will ultimately apply.
What country you reside in also influences how good a deal is. LEGO tries to maintain a different price level for LEGO in Germany compared to a number of neighboring countries. Additionally, Amazon.de sometimes has delivery restrictions on some sets so a particular offer might be inaccessible to you because of the country of your delivery address.
Amazon currently has Batman Movie set #70901 Mr Freeze Attack for 17.99 EUR currently. Pretty good deal if you're in the Benelux (RRP=29,99 €), still an okay deal for Germany (RRP=24,99 €)
Note that Amazon might deliver for free to your country and that it has tresholds for free shipping in that case. Free delivery always takes a couple of days as well.
I'm tempted by the #75106 - Sabine with helmet! - but I'll try to resist as I'm already way past the agreed monthly LEGO budget for Jan/Feb.
That being said I've currently blown my budget for May so you're doing alright.
That was such an awesome deal, since its RRP in NL is€69,99
Anyway thanks @stlux for the headsup!
Won't be buying any of those, since I already spend waaaay more than I had planned when I scooped up a whole bunch of sets discounted 50% at Lego S@H
If you value your LEGO set boxes to arrive undamaged, do be aware Amazon.de possibly still sends these out either without or with very basic packaging (cardboard sleeve, not a box) as I described in the Amazon.co.uk thread.
I just ordered that y-wing! It is €79,99 at Lego S@H in NL. I paid €45,75 for it on Amazon.de since VAT is currently 21% in NL. Still saved €34,24 on it compared to Lego S@H or any other retailer here.
Is that set €10 cheaper over at S@H in Belgium!?
Hadn't checked the figures that well as I was in the process of ordering one myself. My price alert set at 50 € had triggered and that typically prompts me to go into "Order now!"-mode in case stocks are limited. Deciding what I consider a decent price for the set is done when setting the alert.
You're also correct regarding the price difference caused by the VAT rate. I stopped taking that into account for posting deals here. Comparing is complex enough already with these differing Lego Shop Euro RRP prices - did you know the RRP in France differs from the German and Benelux prices? It's 76,99 € over there? Belgian VAT is 21% like in The Netherlands so I paid 45,75 as well. Prices for delivery to Luxembourg would be lower than the Amazon.de advertised price since LU VAT is 17% instead of 19% in DE.
Currently open for prime only, accessible from 20h15 for non-prime customers. Only 1% claimed so far so plenty of time to pick one up.

- 75157 - Captain Rex's AT-TE for EUR 79.99
That's close to the lowest price these sets have ever been.They seem to be regularly going in and out of stock, but just check a couple of hours later. Worked for me.
No Prime required.
Amazon.de is at it again with their "frustration-free packaging" for this set. If ordering one, do be careful to check that "ship in Amazon box" checkbox if you want at least a chance of receiving the set box without major dents, tears and bags missing.
- Special mention for MF #75015 which is 69.99€ (TRU 114.98€, DE RRP 134.9€9)
List courtesy of Zusammengebaut.com listing the TRU deals - note I've only checked the first few on Amazon but they all seem to match, so...Amazon.de is launching prime in/to Belgium today. My take:
It's basically the same offer of what was already available on Amazon.fr but with the benefit of being able shop in Dutch and get Dutch-speaking customer support.
Currently you get:
- One working day delivery: My experience with Amazon.fr prime is that this promise is not always upheld. Hopefully this will now further improve. Personal positive here is that packages processes as on-day delivery consistently have arrived in better shape than the free-delivery ones.
- Prime Video: still no Dutch UI, some but not all content has Dutch subtitles. Some single seasons of Kids' series started to appear with Dutch audio though: Paw Patrol, Dora, Peppa Pig, Team Umizoomi, Ben and Holly, Spongebob, Avatar, Korra. Limited overall selection compared to Netflix for instance but a okay-to good value proposition considering the price and content Prime as a package. I personally really like some Amazon-produced content like The Man in the High Castle and American Gods. Tip: get a vpn subscription too!
- Access to Prime-only offers and early access Lightning deals: I still find it shady to have to 'buy' access to be able to buy products. Guess it works to get customers committed to the Amazon ecosystem though. Quite a bit o LEGO offers have been are Prime-only recently.
- Twitch/Prime Photos could help sweeten the deal if relevant for you.
The ugly is still that difficult choice between Amazon.fr and Amazon.de. There is no Belgian Amazon site. Well, there is, but it's an unrelated Insurance broker.Now you have the difficult decision of choosing Prime on .fr or .de as well or pay a Prime subscription twice if you want to benefit from both.
Delivery adresses in The Netherlands or Belgium only.
(as I found out right after the edit window closed)
Cheapest I have seen so far - might be a good time to get now that there's the potential to add it to the new roller coaster and one of the upcoming Ninjago dragons.
Was lying in wait for this set to dip below 100 €. Since We were at a family function yesterday I ordered via the amazon app - accessed via the BS 'Buy now' button on the BS set page of course - and applied my voucher for another 5 € off. Brought the price down to 90,04 € delivered!
If you did not use the amazon app before, the 5 € off a purchase of 25 € offer is still valid. Link above explains how it works.
...but that offer isn't on the app. So never mind.

Found my #70652 Stormbringer I ordered off Amazon.de (@29.88 €) when I returend from a bike ride today. Surely this was not my Amazon order? I didn't recognize the box at first - it's a decent, sturdy design that can actually protect LEGO boxes against the abuse they're often subjected to during shipping. But it was, the label was facing down.
I really like the box. Unlike the sleeve-type boxes providing no protection whatsoever to smaller/medium LEGO sets Amazon typically uses for shipping, these double-cardboard walls stand up to quite a bit of pressure (Not to say the regular Amazon boxes are good - they're not; but those "flangeless" things are plain awful).
Set came out in fab condition - like I hand-picked the best set from a bunch of boxes at a brick-and-mortar store.
So I'm a happy camper! Hoping these boxes are the new default for shipping LEGO sets at Amazon. Low Amazon prices+sets arriving in excellent condition= happy me.
Now where's that Boost set...
I'd mumble something about Christmas Creep but since I just asked a very nice forum member to pick up a bunch of small plastic Christmas trees... ;)
#70657 price was lowered to 170,89€.
Also 20% off #21311 Voltron.
