It will be an option I will consider when they appear there, but by all
accounts they will be like rocking horse droppings over there for the first
few months, so that may not be as easy as it is with normal sets.
At least, priced as they are here, casual buyers will be put off. I can't

Will we have the same difficulty getting them on release as I imagine they
will in the US - fighting off SW fans in the aisles in TRU?
