    Do not go out and but them from K B Toys. They are over priced by $5.00 to
$10.00 more than any one ells, (in the states that is)

Landspeeder  $9.99
Speeder Bikes  $13.999
Snow Speeder  $24.99
X-Wing Fighter  $34.99
Tie / Y Wing    $59.00 (when I bought mine, The only place in town to get one at
the time) now $65.00

P.S.  At Toys R Us, the prices are as follows (in USD):
7110 Landspeeder  $5.99
7128 Speederbikes  $9.99
7130 Snowspeeder  $19.99
7140 X-Wing Fighter  $29.99
7150 Y-Wing & TIE  $49.99
