The City Centre Lego store does have just about every model, some of which have only just been released in the UK in the past couple of months. Of those where you quoted the price, they are somewhat more expensive than in the UK. The Titanic, which I very much enjoyed building, is the model with the greatest number of pieces. There is one set that has more pieces which is a world map. This, however, consists mainly of 1 stud by 1 stud pieces which most of us do not consider counts as the largest model. Largest piece count, yes, model, no!

And it's amazing Titanic set price in Russia is only 41% more expensive than official LEGO retail price with delivery anywhere in the EU. Any EU citizen can buy Titanic with home delivery for 41% less than Russian that has to go/drive to some store in Moscow. And Russians are so poor.

@Sergey_Bezhentsev Мост или место поклонения.

[@Sergey_Bezhentsev]

@@TravellingwithRussell Actually, the correct word is "most" (bridge). The street "Kuznetsky Most" is so called because once there was a real bridge over the Neglinka river. But at the beginning of the 19th century the river was enclosed in an underground collector. The street level rose above the bridge and it was filled with soil, the space around it was built up with houses....

That lego technic Ferrari SP3 currently in Myer in Australia $580, this one in Russia over $1000aud!! Australians earn way more than Russians.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

I am sure the average salary of the person wanting the Ferrari is higher in Australia as well. I know my parents would never pay that kind of price for a model. I was lucky to get the $10 or $20 ones.

I could see the Jumpman logo (Jordan Brand from Nike) hanging up inside the shopping mall behind you. However, there are no Nike stores in Russia since Nike had already left the country.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

All the Nike shoes are in multi brand stores now. Rather than company stores. The brand is more than available.

I love yr video’s man, but ehm, ..lego? Who cares about Lego?! Why would you even care if that’s in Russia. Of course it is! But remember Danes are hypocrites. LOL. Buy second hand if you can’t find the brand.

[@shhs6127]

ALO ! Lego ?.. NOW you can get nock off Lego .. and if they are not better .. then they are the same quality !! Only like 5 time cheaper..

[@TravellingwithRussell]

[@shhs6127]

Great selection, however prices are significantly higher compared to the US. For example the Harry Potter Advent Calendar you highlighted is $89 in Moscow, but $45 on Amazon.

[@СтражникПравды]

Ukrainians are descendants of the Khazars (Turkic people), then it is not surprising that a representative of the Turkic people insults a representative of the European people, calling them Orcs.

[@K2teknik.]

Well I would say it proves that the sanctions are there, they just do not work as intended. The almost fully removal of the LEGO brand is most likely done in cooperation with LEGO's Russian partners/importer/distributor. LEGO still want to sell in Russia, so they try to make it look like you can't get LEGO in Russia by removing the branding, and the importing is done third party's countries.
