If you´re interested in an international statistics, here are the prices for
SW Lego in germany:
Landspeeder 9,30 USD
Speeder Bikes 13,66 USD
Snowspeeder 27,32 USD
X-Wing 43,72 USD
Y-Wing/TIE 65,57 USD
The sets are available for two weeks now and there seems to be still enough of
them for everyone. SW Ep1 sets won´t be for sale before August :o(
I forgot what the "normal" US prices are but 97,25 USD is a ripp off ! Hope
you find a better offer soon.
