Thanks, I was thinking of using that voucher this weekend, I've already used
the SW £5 and £3 off vouchers when I picked up my Battle Droid and Destroyer
Droid technic sets (finally decided to pick them up after much resistance,
but the technic and the DSDK are the only SW sets I'm missing!) and the sets
were £3 more expensive on the TRU web site, glad I bought from the shop as I
ended up saving nearly £20 over the web prices taking postage into account.

Haven't noticed that here in Birmingham, although I didn't check the price
on the MF - after I got one from eToys I'm not allowed to consider buying
another one :(

The TRU staff are terrible - a few weeks ago I went in 4 days running asking
when the next LEGO shipment was due in so I could pick up another TIE and
each day they told me "it's due tomorrow", in the end I picked one up from
Shop@Home, and 2 weeks later TRU received some Bionicle and nothing else.
