Well, whilst a couple of quid on a caboose might not seem much, wait until the Metroliner (which we can expect some
demand for) gets launched soon and you find it is £25 cheaper in Germany for no apparent reason.

US price is apparently going to be around $140, which would indicate around £119 in the UK, and just £95 in Germany
(comparable to the prices of the 4565 freight railway, which is an astonishing 26% cheaper in Germany than the UK)

However, if no one cares, then Lego will carry on making a nice little extra profit from the UK
