[QUOTE="philliperry, post: 507898, member: 5731"] This probably isn’t the best time to talk about this, as hardly anywhere stocks Star Wars figures / vehicles at the moment, especially now Toys R Us has gone. But when Ep 9 comes out, so will all the new toys. And they will be massively over priced in the UK, compared to USA. There’s no justification for basic figures being £10 or over. And I remember the Rogue One vehicles - the U Wing was £65 in Toys R Us! I eventually bought it for £4.99 in Argos. And that At Act at £300? What the hell? I got that for £40 in the end. So why are they so overpriced here? Is it because kids don’t want them anymore, just 40 year old men? If they were more reasonably priced, I’m sure kids would want them. And why is the selection here so lame? It takes months, if not a year to get some of the figures that were supposed to be in the first or second wave. Maybe Hasbro just can’t be arsed with Star Wars anymore in the UK? Sorry if this is an old moan and has been covered before. [/QUOTE]
