Given this, it may be prudent to have a "Value for money" rating on the various
stores in the tracker. Ie - a rating from 0-10. Clicking on the store could give
finer grained details of the rates.
I must admit- having been caught out by price differences in Hamleys myself
before - it is only worth going to to view and not buy. I have only bought in
there last minute (I used to work around the corner).
This said- if you are ever in London - it is worth going around Hamleys simply
because it is one of the largest toy-stores I know. For those who have never
seen it - imagine a department store entirely filled with different sections of
toys. Last time I visited, around half a floor was given to Lego.
