I decided to have a look at my receipt. It shows the price
without VAT. I then compared that to the S@H catalogue prices
at an exchange rate of 1.62. Sans VAT, the UK prices are
£79.96, the US S@H prices 78!!
So if it weren't for our exhorbitant tax rates and lack of
Lego sales, we are paying about the same!

| (...) That sounds a bit steep - or are some of these sets bigger than they look in the catalogue? Judging from the pix in the catalogue, I find it hard to believe that the Tie is worth £40, or the XWing is worth £24.99. Simon (URL) (26 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.starwars)
