While the set is available globally, the demand in Bangkok and across Thailand has already led to stock shortages at local Certified Stores. Collectors are fascinated by the attention to detail, from the brick-built coin slot to the internal light bricks that illuminate the marquee. This high demand has pushed many to look beyond local borders to find available units.

The Price Disparity: US Retail vs Thailand Stores

Why are Thai collectors turning to American retailers to get their hands on this set? The answer lies in the price tag. As of May 2026, the US retail price for the Retro Arcade set is nearly 30% lower than the prices listed in Singapore and Thailand. Even after accounting for international shipping service fees, the total cost often remains significantly lower than buying locally.

For those who want to shop US store sites like LEGO.com (US) or Amazon, the savings are hard to ignore. However, these stores often require a US-based shipping address and sometimes a US-issued credit card. This is where a freight forwarder becomes an essential part of your collecting strategy, providing you with a tax-free US address in Oregon to maximize your savings.

Logistics and Shipping Estimates for Set 10405

To ensure you are getting the best deal, it is vital to understand the physical profile of the LEGO Icons Retro Arcade. Large sets are notorious for their box size, which can impact your final delivery cost.

Because this set is bulky, we recommend using a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before you finalize your purchase. Be aware of "Volumetric Weight," which is calculated based on the dimensions of the box rather than just its physical weight. Since LEGO boxes are mostly air to protect the bricks inside, the volumetric weight will likely be the billing weight for your Thailand delivery.

Regarding batteries, the Retro Arcade includes light bricks powered by alkaline button cells. Unlike lithium-ion batteries found in smartphones, these are generally easier to ship but may still require a standard battery declaration through your parcel forwarding service.

Navigating US Stores from Thailand

If you have tried to purchase from US retailers before, you might have faced order cancellations due to non-US credit cards. If this happens, you can use a BuyForMe service. This assisted purchase option allows a professional shopper in the US to buy the item on your behalf, ensuring your order for the Retro Arcade isn't cancelled during the high-demand 2026 launch window.

Once your set arrives at the warehouse, you can choose to forward packages immediately or consolidate them with other US purchases to save on the first-half-kilogram shipping base rate. This is a common tactic for collectors who also want to grab US-exclusive minifigures or smaller polybags at the same time.

Import Duties and Taxes in Thailand

When you buy from US ship to Thailand, it is important to factor in local regulations. In 2026, Thailand's customs department continues to apply specific thresholds for import duties and GST/VAT. Typically, items valued over 1,500 THB are subject to a 7% VAT plus any applicable toy category duties.

Because the Retro Arcade is a high-value collector's item, you should expect to pay customs tax upon arrival. Always keep your invoices ready for the ship to Thailand process to ensure a smooth clearance at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang airports. Properly declaring the value of your LEGO set through comGateway will prevent delays and ensure your mechanical arcade arrives safely at your door in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, or Phuket.
