They are finally here in Turkey, too, although I could only find TIE/Y-Wing and
X-Wing sets. The prices of them are as follows:
X-Wing : 16 950 000 TL : 43.14 USD
TIE/Y-Wing : 26 750 000 TL : 68.10 USD
Pricey as always (but not too much, as in the case of technic and model team
sets) as compared to US prices.
Those sets are awesome, and my wife is (still) crazy about the money that I paid
for them..:-D
Worse than that, I've saw them just before a visit to my parents with my wife,
and (as you guessed) the explanation of the packages to the parents was quite
though..:-)
