Save €35 on the LEGO Midnight Jasmine by skipping Italian resellers

March 27, 2026

Why the Midnight Jasmine is 2026's must-have set

The LEGO Botanical Collection has been a massive hit, but the March 22, 2026, release of the Icons 'Midnight Jasmine' (Set 10348) has taken things to a new level. Unlike previous flowers, this one features glow-in-the-dark elements and a stunning deep-blue ceramic-style pot that looks incredible in any modern Italian apartment.

While the set is officially out, LEGO stores in the US received exclusive early-access stock and special edition packaging that hasn't hit the European market yet. For collectors in Italy, this means local resellers are already marking up prices by nearly 40%. By buying directly from US retailers, you can actually save about €35 compared to those inflated secondary market prices.

The fastest way to get this set to Italy

If you want to perform a speed run on this delivery, the trick is to use a freight forwarder. Most US LEGO enthusiasts are buying from the official LEGO US store or Target, which often don't ship directly to Milan or Rome.

By using comGateway, you get a tax-free US address in Oregon. This is a huge win because you avoid US sales tax entirely before the item even starts its journey to Italy. Once your Midnight Jasmine arrives at the warehouse, you can choose express shipping to have it on your doorstep in as little as 3 to 5 business days.

Shipping Estimates & Logistics Analysis

Before you hit the checkout button, it helps to know exactly what you are looking at in terms of box size and weight. This set is compact, which is great news for your wallet. You can use the shipping calculator to get a precise quote, but here are the general specs for the Midnight Jasmine:

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 1.8 lbs (0.8 kg)
Box Dimensions Approx. 11 x 8 x 2.5 inches (Medium-small box)
Battery Check None. This set contains no lithium batteries.

A note on Volumetric Weight

Because LEGO boxes are mostly air and plastic bricks, they are relatively light. However, shipping companies sometimes charge based on the space a box takes up. If you are only buying one set, this won't be an issue. If you decide to buy five sets to gift to friends in Italy, keep an eye on the box volume. You can always check the FAQ for tips on consolidating items to save space.

Handling Italian customs and import tax

When the package enters Italy, it will be subject to import duties and VAT (IVA). Usually, for items under €150, you just pay the standard 22% VAT and a small handling fee to the courier. Even with these costs, the total remains significantly lower than buying from a specialty importer in Italy who has already baked those costs (plus a profit margin) into the price tag.

Pro tips for US store shopping

Sometimes US stores can be picky about non-US credit cards. If you find your order getting cancelled at the LEGO US shop, don't worry. You can use a BuyForMe service. This proxy shopping option means a local agent will buy the set for you using a US-based payment method, ensuring you don't miss out on the early-access stock.

Also, make sure you aren't trying to ship any prohibited items alongside your LEGO set. While plastic bricks are perfectly safe, things like specialized glue or certain cleaning fluids sometimes found in hobby shops can be restricted. Always double-check the shipping rules before finalizing your parcel forwarding request.
