In my view I hope we will have the same price story as the US, cheap • prices

No. Actually this will be very bad.

The reason sets are sold off cheaply is because they can't sell them any
other way. This means that somebody isn't making much money.

If it's the shop, they'll just stop selling the product.

If it's TLC, then boy, are we in trouble.

I agree. This sale makes me think that etoys.co.uk is about to go under, or
is about to stop selling a wide range of lego.
