SW Ep 4,5,6 sets finally arrived to Lithuania. I spotted 4 of them
(except Speeder Bikes) in toy chain shop. What striked me - it is price.
I purchased for the begining only Landspeeder. It costs here 12,25USD
(which looks like twice as in US)! Tie Interceptor-Y-Wing costs 97.25USD
which is crazy price for me. Here in our country where average salary is
250USD - SW sets are real luxury.
May be it is the same policy in all European countries for SW sets? It
is intereting how much these sets cost in EU countries.
Other sets here usually cost 1.2-1.3 times more expensive as in US, and
it is general policy. They (managers) explained it as higher
transportation costs and small market.
Play well

| (...) That's just nuts! I'd suggest getting in contact with someone here in the US to ship them to you. With shipping, Sales Tax, and any sort of Import taxes, it would still be less than buying them in the stores. Jeff P.S. At Toys R Us, the prices (...) (25 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
