[Boonetrooper]

U.s dollars huh?

Were you using the currency translator?

They automaticly add the current market fee for exchanging currency.

I believe the price in USD is 100. :-P

[Starwars4J]

I'll move this to the TAWT forum :-) Was the point of this topic just to complain about the price though?

[Scouty]

Well, you are getting it first. And lot's of things affect how much products are around about the world.

You've exaggerated a bit there - it's

[morris]

[Boonetrooper]

Uh, United Species dollars? I don't know.

[Scouty]

[morris]

Uh, United Species dollars? I don't know.

hey bonetrooper, heard of a currency called the "US dollar", it is quite popular so even a 3 year old kid would know.

you know what it is right?

[Starwars4J]

Guys, both of you stop |-/ Bonetrooper clearly didn't understand what was meant with this topic, and that the price in USD can be different in different countries. So please, let's not start a flame war :-/ No more insults, okay?

Yes, I beleive he was making a JOKE. I could be wrong, but whats wrong with a little joking? Afterall, it keeps the members friendly (Mostly...)

It is always cheaper in america even though dollars are worth less the number prices are lower :-P US is 100 USD for sure.

i know. did LEGO do the times table wrong when they are converting from USD to GBP????

or they just always time it by a factor of 2?

[badgerboy]

For me the essential issue hasn't been raised here before, it's that there isn't a universal rule that applies to all set pricing. How can one licensed set take account of exchange rates, yet another license does not?

Jedi Hyper-ring $49.99 (US)

[badgerboy]

Actually, don't answer this -

It's the same treatment europe always recieves and there will be the same objections/comments from both sides in response...

I'm just going to bite the bullet and try to find a way to import them!

[Grand Moff Viceroy]

Us doesn't have tax on the prices and has their own warehouse and factories, so no importing fees, taxes different in every state.
