Hi David

see the opening note, Marklin have certainly come out with
some really sharp pricing so dont be lead astray on discounts
all the reductions have come from Marklin not the dealers
they are aware of the market in Europe so have priced really keen
which is good for all and with the big boy being made Feb people
are going to have to be quick

'old toot

Placed my order, it is going to be cheap year for me.

Only three items; T18, BR 94.18 & USA cattle wagons 37994. If i did not allready have a Big Boy i would have ordered 37994, but buying a second unit is absolutely crazy.

Enjoy your purchases ladies and gentleman.

Didn't someone say all us Marklinists are crazy anyway....!!!

What's that?

Gotta admit, very interesting prices on the 37810 or 37811 BR50 and the Bigboy!

Not the tax but If you use credit card.

'On payment from outside Germany by bank transfer we give you a bonus of 2.4 % (NON-EU) resp. 2.9 % (EU)'.

Why is it called Export Handling "EU" for me it sounds more like a tax

Doesn’t remember if I rely paid a feed to using my credit card inside the shop on my last visit.

Order now or you lost 27% discount.

I email lokshop question and reply answer from Roland 'The 27% off prices of new items 2012 are valid till end of toy fair or till our pre order limit is filled up'.

Please note the Starter set is not 27% discount.

It will be limit 10%-15% discount (I guess) from February.

3% is no big deal, they deliver a good service

John,

I think they are using the M* retail price - unverbindliche Preisempfehlung - UVP that is quotes in the back of the catalog. Page 192



r/Thomas

Have had a look at Modellbahnshop-Lippe site and could only see a few of the new items.

Have also checked their Märklin page, but haven't found new items there .

Has anyone seen on their web page all the new items, and if so where.

Many thanks

Hi et al,
Not sure if this is allowed or not (sorry in advance if I've broken a rule somewhere).

We are offering a discount on our listed prices for the Marklin New Items 2012, the details are on our website.

On a more personal note:
I would encourage you to support your local dealer if you have one. We put a lot of effort into promoting Marklin locally - which costs : (. This is only really possible with the support of the local hard core Marklin buyers.

I know Lokshop etc are the cheapest (easy to do when local taxes are not paid, customs doesn't stop items requesting GST like it should, and Lokshop being many times the size of most local Marklin shops can have very *low* margins) however, besides that, Lokshop etc... doesn’t put back into local clubs, or bring in new Marklin customers in other countries.

We encourage new Markliners to join the local Marklin clubs, knowing full well that some members will encourage them to buy from Lokshop instead of the local. Forgotting, that we give their club a discount for items they have purchased for the club.

If you can spare a little extra, it helps the longer term viability of the product with a new generation of Markliners outside of Europe.

We give our local guys free stuff and local support when things go wrong even when the person is hostile and is completely unreasonable (we all know those people), expecting us to fix items that were not purchased through us in the first place.

We had an older person who had problems, we went to their house to plug the transformer back in. The likes of Lokshop etc..couldn't do that for you.

Consider your local and support them where you can - just something to kindly consider : )
Kind Regards
Dion

When is the Toy Fair ?

Nurmberg Toy Fair, 1-6 February 2012 - http://www.toyfair.de/index.php?id=4218&L=1

Thanks Steven, is there a production time list at Marklin yet ?

Hello Marklinists
Please tell me if the Prices on the list are already discounted or not.
For me it would only be good if it is not.:)
regards
Jay

The Lokshop prices for the 2012 new items are discounted, but are only available for pre orders, and only until the end of the Toy Show. Lokshop will no doubt discount prices after that, but not by any where as much as they are at the moment.

If you pre ordering on an item that is not yet produced, is your credit card debited when doing the final stage of check out?
Or are they after the card number so that when the model/s come in stock they then debit that amount?
I ask because I would like to take advantage of the discount but don't quite have the full amount, but I am assuming by the time the items I am interested in are produced I should be able to cover it.

Usually I only order when I have the funds, but as i said I would like to take advantage of the what seems to be good discount.

Hi Tony,

I have sumbit confirm order the new items but not charge credit card until came in stock and shipping.

When I first looked the Insider "Donald Duck" was allways 503.36 excl Mwst, as apposed to the 37788 ICE III Set @ 366.64eu excl Mwst. However they were both 599.95 on the new Items price list

I must be stupid - I can't see where it says 27% discount until the end of the toy show. Please show me the exact spot.

Greg

Very special, very exclusive, very expensive - but no word of "limitation" in the advertising text in the product database.
Sounds like a typical "one-time series" where they produce as many locos as are pre-ordered.

A very low price on the new Z scale Re4/4 II. I am seriously tempted to order two of them!

That information came from an email Stephen received from Lokshop in response to a query he made. See post #19.

....well, they have to give ultimate orders during Nuremberg fair period....they have to negociate prices and quantities with Marklin at the same period, they need to know the global amount of orders they will place to Marklin this year....To get some special discount there is a deadline. The sooner they give engagement, the better conditions they will get....IMO it will not last a very long time, it means they need a kind of "insurance",...it's also a kind of test because they need visibility...IMO, they play a risky game too .(just because there are more and more short series or limited series on which they can't play the game....)

Hello Greg,
Their "old site" as they call it, the one I refer to mainly, is indeed offline for "maintenance", use;
www.lokshop.de or the link in a recent post above, meantime and just put the items your interested in in your cart by using the "product lookup" feature, with say MAR37810. Sign in to get the price minus Mwst and then save the list. You can refer to it later You will also ideally have saved the "New items" brochure pdf to refer to.

Cheers

Hi Glen,

Thanks for the tip. Like so many of us here on the forum, I've sent a hugh order to Lokshop. The only concern I have, apart from paying for it, is that the new items will be released at different times of the year. Therefore, Lokshop will charge me for freight each time and that will negate any of the special savings. Do you think they might be able to bundle them and say send them in 2 deliveries? I've asked, but haven't had a reply, probably too busy at the toy show.

Greg

I had ordered BR.01 #39016 from Lokshop. Their price was 11% lower than modellbahn-lippe and 27% lower than Marklin's SRP. I also have pending-order at Lokshop since last year, due to unavailability of some items. Few days ago, I emailed them to ship all available items and forget the unavailable ones, but no response from them. I clicked the "Request Order Status" button, but nothing emailed to me as well. (There is no problem with their email system, because I received acknowledgement email almost immediately upon ordering the #39016). Probably they're very busy now.

I have done huge order included all three BR50.

37812, the Netherlands version??.

Edited by user 07 February 2012 20:00:12(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

Gleg, without starting an order I cannot show the exact spot, but from Memory (faulty these days) it is under delivery instructions.
OR an email asking/telling no partial deliveries. They do not like holding on to stock to long BUT you may point out thet you are willing to pay when the item comes into stock BUT do not POST until entire order is filled. AS long as it is under $1000 you are fireproof.

Nev

Thanks Steven.

I look forward to the Kabinentender version.


r/Thomas

Seems as Lokshop received more orders than their capacity to handle. They become jittery to hold items, and expected partial delivery as soon as some of the ordered items were available.
They cancelled my previous order because of that.
Now I'm starting to look for another shop as an alternative, modellbahn-lippe is one of the option. But on their terms & conditions for delivery outside EU, there is something I don't understand, like this:

Additional customs duties and fees will be charged for deliveries to countries abroad the European Union.
Details can be found for example at:
http://europa.eu.int/com...cgi-bin/tarchap?Lang=DE.

That link is outdated.
I have sent email to modellbahn-lippe asking about that, but no reply till now.
Probably somebody here will be able to explain?

I hope from forum threads such as this one,
Marklin Gmbh learns their vital lesson:

"We shouldn't ever try to dictate any discount that our dealers will want to offer to their customers."

This is a great and dynamic discussion about a dealer's pricing and relationship, between commoners who are already established Marklin customers.

After the 3% rebate; the annual rebate if you join their forum site; and simpler freight costs, ModellBahnshop-Lippe is cheaper overall.
The price guarantee specifically includes the freight cost, as they are clearly aware of some of their competitor's tactics.

Be aware that some items are advertised with "no bonus points". RTFS.

Hi Forum
Yesterday I received an email notice from Lockshop saying that they have shipped my order which was placed for a couple of their special discount items during end January/1st week February.
Instructions with the order specifically stated that the order was to be shipped only when complete to save shipping costs.However on checking the notice I find that it is a
part order !!.
What do I do, is it possible that Lockshop have already factored in the shipping costs of the complete order and I will not be wacked with another shipping cost?!!.
I have sent them a mail together with the original order and instructions.I await their reply.Shipping being so costly it might wipe out all the savings!!!. .I even would not mind if they debit me for the items that are ready and hold them till the whole order is complete.
Forum please advise.
Warm Regards
Jay

Hi Joe,thank you very much for your reply,very much appreciated I am sure.I will send an email care of Elisabeth at Lokshop and make the suggestion that she debit me for the whole amount and hold until ready. No Joe I did not receive mail asking me if a partial order can be sent nor did I receive a reply to my communication
To Lokshop. Now that I have a name (thanks to you) it brings this email thing to a more personel level.
Warm regards
Jay

Does anyone have a direct email address for Lokshop? They sent me a payment notice and I"m still waiting for one last item on my order (Makies gravel set due out this month)

Emails to their generic emails (payment@lokshop, shop@lokshop etc..) are not replied. They already billed me for the rest, so they have their money. (and I'm ok with paying early) I just will have to cancel the makies set as shipping will make it expensive enough that I'd much rather support a US dealer and purchase stateside

I tried but sure enough, no luck. I got a shipping notice for everything but the Makies set today.

Hopefully they will comply with the emails to cancel the set. I sent about 6 clear emails in response to all of their payment notifications saying to hold the package (which I've already paid for) until the makies train arrives, and not one response...

I'm starting to get really frustrated with european dealers. I only order from them rarely, and do so in clear basic english, but every time something goes sour on me. I will give a big thumbs up to lokshops automated order updates/payment/shipping system though. light years ahead of the rest...

An update here- they shipped last week without the makies set (which of course came out this week...) A real bummer as now I'll probably forego this set, since it is way to expensive to justify purchasing in the US
