    	Hi,
    
    	greetings from Finland.
    
    	For your information, stuff you are playing in U.K and U.S is not
    	expensive. Why,
    
    	for example, NES base with ligth gun/duck hunt	$270 US
    		     MB II				$79  US
    		     Turtles				$87  US
    
    	and so on ..
    
    	My son loves to play, but these prices gonna ruin me!

    Do the UK prices include the VAT?  If so, that could explain part of
    the large pricing difference.
