Just compare prices at www.etoys.com with www.etoys.co.uk - the US prices
listed look correct.
Another example of over-charging in the UK. The smaller models retail here in
GBP for the same as the USD price.
The larger models are better value, but still not equivalent - 39.99 GBP for
Y-Wing/Tie Fighter but 49.99 USD.
Can't even take advantage of the web, because all the US sites I looked at
don't ship to Europe.
If the UCS models are going to retail with the same discrepancy, it'll be
cheaper to fly to New York and buy a few.
