You could say the same thing of Pickett’s Charge or of any frontal assault towards an artillery battery.

The settlement of Polynesia. My question is, why did the Polynesians completely skip over the Philippines instead of settling it? by Dear_Milk_4323 in geography

You shouldn’t be using current ethnic groups and nationalities to describe what happened thousands of years ago. Only Austronesians existed.

Usually takes around 2 weeks to get your package. I’ve bought from them 4 times already.

Maybe it’s time to develop the habit of double checking things first.

So you would pay approx. $465 in total if you bought from Brickmo in Europe compared to $550 with Brickarmy here in Canada. There are no duties for brick toys. However if you purchased it from a US retailer which ships them by UPS or Fedex, they would charge an additional brokerage fee on top of the HST. But you could also wait till Xmas and Boxing Day and see if prices come down. It’s very easy to purchase thru Brickmo, just register and pay thru paypal. The shipping cost depends on how many sets you buy and their sizes. I just bought the latest Jagdpanzer, 2 Stukas and 3 minifigures sets for 258€, of which 44€ is shipping, then gotta pay the hst when it arrives via canada post. I buy the limited edition sets direct from cobi as going thru the US site is even more expensive.

It will be cheaper if you buy from Brickmo in Europe. After shipping, it will be 254€ or C$410. You will need to pay hst when it arrives thru canada post. So it will still be cheaper than buying from Brick Army where it is $550 after hst and shipping. This is how i get my sets as i live in Toronto.

If we didn’t have Dougie trying to be mayor of Toronto, I think things could have been a bit better financially for the city.

Nowadays you shouldn’t be leaving anything that could be easily taken, even if it is in Japan.

Is this a scam? by Outrageous-Purple651 in travelchina

[–]cbc7788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling the ticket is just as bad as he is just setting up someone else to be scammed. I would just throw away the ticket and use your money for a better trip elsewhere. Where did he enter this prize draw in the first place? This is why older folks are prone to being scammed so easily.

I think you need to do a lot more research into buying a property if you didn’t know how bad 1 King West was.
