I would have really liked to spend sometime in Miniland however, my time was
limited and I didn't want to rush through it. I am reasonalbly sure I will
be back sooner or later, hopefully with more time next time.

I left five of them and I paid 16 pounds each. I left the five most beat up
sets in the lot. I don't know if 16 pounds is a good deal or not but since
they are virtually impossible to come by in the US I really didn't worry too
much about the price. What did the starter set sell for when it was
originally available?
