If the amount including shipping is below Rm500 you're safe. I'd go with the $15.90 airmail shipping option which is just $3 more as its slightly faster.The standard shipping from BN takes about 5 to 7 weeks. Airmail option is between 2 to 3 weeks, Don't expect perfect box condition from BN. Coupons used to work with Lego but not anymore

Go for the Excavator as it is due to be retired very soon.
You'll have another year or so to save for the Unimog as it will still be on the shelves.
