Went to Tesco and TRU in Hayes, no sign yet. I might be
swinging by LLW in the week, so if it is anywhere, that is

Well I phoned LEGO UK asking about the 1886 Starwars bucket and she had
never heard of it and so only the 5 originals were available.
Anyone else want to try?  I think I'm going to write a letter instead.

I asked in Hamleys yesterday (after they finally noticed me) and they
said 'First week of June', which possibly means from about the 20th of
May in Lego time.

Hamleys does have ridiculously high prices, doesn't it? The Tie vs Y was
50 quid odd. Nice displays though. Someone had snuck a Y-Wing into the
Ninja display cabinet, dive-bombing the fortress.

There was also a Luke's House made from an Adventurers balloon top and
some arches in white and tan that looked quite nice, as part of a Star
Wars display. It also had two skeletons (Uncle Whatever?) and lots of
the vehicles.

At the other end of the scale, Bonds (John Lewis) in Norwich has a price
promise and has now dropped the Tie/Y to only 35 ukp with the X-wing at
25. No display though.

[Hope it was interesting anyway]
