Maybe, maybe not. I think I'd like to find out for certain though. At least as
far as the Vorgon Stronghold goes (even if it's like the U.S. version (i.e.
"normal," I wouldn't mind a second copy of the set; very nice BURP-like pieces.)
But there three other sets that look like they are deffinately U.K. exclusives.
I'll be hopefully checking into it after X-mas time, so we'll see then. I did a
quick check this morning to see what the cost would be for the four sets, and it
came out to almost $200, with the conversion rate and the shipping. Nearly 1/3
of the cost was shipping. Maybe I'll find someone who's taking a trip over there
to help me out...
C-ya!
