Yes, showing MSRP in non-US$ is a future enhancement... (But conversion is
not; aside from temporal eddies in the exchange rates, things may simply
cost more or less in another country... For example, in Germany this year
you can buy for DM 19,80 a 27 cm. tall red bucket with green lid. Could
that possibly be priced at ~$10 in the U.S. and ever sell?)

p.s. I attached an internal note to set #365 noting that it was evident
from a catalog scan that the set cost £8.85 when it was introduced in 1975.
