While the set is technically available globally, the stock situation in the UK and Singapore has been a bit of a headache. In the US, however, supply levels are much more stable. More importantly, the price gap is huge. If you look at the popular products currently hitting our warehouse, the DC-3 is consistently at the top because it is significantly cheaper to buy from American retailers than to wait for local stock with high markups.

The fastest way to buy from US stores

If you want this set on your display shelf by next week, the fastest route is through a US-based retailer. Most US shops offer free domestic shipping to Oregon, which is home to the comGateway warehouse. By using a tax-free US address, you immediately save on US sales tax, which can be as high as 10% in other states.

To get started, simply sign up for a international shipping service that provides you with a dedicated US suite number. Once your LEGO 11378 arrives at the warehouse, you can choose express shipping to ensure it reaches your doorstep in Singapore in just a few business days.

Bypassing store cancellations with BuyForMe

A common frustration for many of us in Singapore is trying to check out on US websites like LEGO.com, Nike, Sephora, or Apple. These stores are notorious for blocking international credit cards or automatically cancelling orders that use a known freight forwarder address. It is incredibly annoying to see your order confirmed only to get a cancellation email ten minutes later.

This is where the BuyForMe service becomes a total lifesaver. Instead of fighting with the checkout system, you tell comGateway what you want to buy. They use a domestic US credit card and a residential-style purchasing process to buy the item on your behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get flagged. It’s an easy assisted purchase solution that takes the stress out of shopping difficult US brands.

Speedy Singapore delivery and cost breakdown

When you buy from US ship to Singapore, you want to know exactly what you are paying. The LEGO DC-3 box is quite large and heavy, which usually means high shipping fees. However, by using weight reduction services like repacking, you can cut down the volumetric weight significantly.

To get a clear idea of the total cost, I recommend using the shipping calculator. Simply input the dimensions of the LEGO 11378 box to estimate shipping cost before you even place your order. On average, shoppers are finding that even with international freight added, they are still saving about $95 SGD compared to buying from local resellers who have hiked up the prices due to low stock in 2026.

Singapore import rules and safety

Before you hit the buy button, it is always a good idea to check the current shipping rules. While toys like LEGO are perfectly safe to import, you should be aware of the GST (Goods and Services Tax) threshold in Singapore. As of 2026, Singapore applies GST to all imported goods, but the process is handled smoothly when you use a professional Singapore delivery partner.

You can browse the list of prohibited items to ensure no other items in your cart—like certain paints or adhesives sometimes bought with models—are restricted. Once your DC-3 is cleared, it will be delivered straight to your home, making this the most efficient way to secure this iconic aviation set.
