Just seen these too, look fab...premium not too weighty but the VAT kills it for me. It would have been nicer still in a silver box rather than a bit of old tin!

Love the product - hate the packaging. Its killing me knowing those bricks are loose to rattle around in that box.

VAT free Maple leafs from Europe make a nice circle based cylinder shape to when you pile them x25 high

I saw these on a YouTube video the other week I think they come from apmex if memory serves me right and they was doing 3 different size lots they are good but just don't sit in with my plans this year

£272!
Good Lord! For that same price I can buy 17 Britannias or Maples etc from gs.be shipped.

17 ounces vs 12 ounces.

I know what I'd rather have.

They are Monarch blocks if memory serves and soooooo much cheaper from the states.

Can we get enough demand to get The European Mint interested in stocking them?

 

[tbone]

But can I build this?

[StackerNoob]

Given that they cost the same in dollars from the USA, it might be cheaper, even if they get caught at customs, to order direct from monarch. The per oz price in the USA isnt too bad at all, worth a risk if you want them I think.

[Thelonerangershorse]

$21.02 from monarch, £14.88 at current exchange rate.

Thought these would be good for my older son (an AFOL - Adult Fan Of Lego) but they have sold out. Paul Atkinson told me they were surprised at the demand and the stock was snapped up by two buyers! I'll keep an eye out for when they are in stock as they would be a decent birthday or Xmas preset.

Atkinsons are sourcing Gold lego for @mr-dead as we speak !

That's code speak for "someone gonna be flippin' on ebay real soon!"

Watch for said Lego bricks being touted for significantly more than what Atkinson's were selling them for.

How long does that stuff take to erode in the sea.?‍?   Longer than plastic I would imagine.

[ilovesilverireallydo]

It seems @arshimo2012 has got his hands on some @Thelonerangershorse

[SaltyCoinMan]

Those look amazing. Wouldn't want to mix those with plastic legos.
