profundities...
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

In the UK, the cheapest known prices are as follows:
7110   GBP4.99   USD7.98
7128   GBP6.99   USD11.18
7130   GBP14.99  USD23.98
7140   GBP24.99  USD39.98
7150   GBP37.99  USD60.78
These prices include our 17.5% VAT (sales tax).
Subtracting the VAT makes the price comparable to US S@H
prices.
