Open the triangular plates on the top of the ship to see inside, or remove the entire top for adventures inside the vessel. Pull out the starboard hatch lid and lower the boarding ramp so your favorite Star Wars heroes can get on board. Put Han in the pilot's seat to control the moveable gun turret and you're ready to take off. If Imperial ships close in, just open the port hatch and use the special escape pod. Set also contains Chewbacca, C-3PO, Snowtrooper and new Hoth look Princess Leia & Han Solo Minifigures! Ages 9+. 985 pieces.

there is no VAT. If you buy it at a retail store you pay from 0-9% (varies
with

80%)

PS: People in the US complain alot about taxes but we actually pay much less
than most industrialized nations.
