Why are they selling it at Voyager pricepoint, it's just a deluxe with two Legends? Can't they sell it fore 15 like in the US?

The general rule for selling stuff in the UK is that you (Hasbro) takes the US price, say $19.99 and simply swaps the $ sign for £ sign. This instantly pretty much doubles the price.

Maybe they simply dont understand the conversion ratios for currency or maybe they dont give a fig.

Yea I know, but I thought these things go for 15 USD over there, so it would mean 15 quid over here.

I'll be looking out for this. I like the deco, and any new mould Legends are good for me.

The price is a bit iffy though. Oh well!

Go instore and that's selling for £17.49.

But yeah, this pack should be selling for about £15. At that price I'd buy it. At £20 for £16 worth of stuff? No thanks.
