We have ten Wings of War Balloon Busters sets in stock! If you want one then get in quick because I don't expect them to last long. staffordgames.co.uk Roland

I expect to see them out there for years, the price is just too high and they will be on e-bay at their original price indefinitely. |

Too expensive for me, nice though they are. |

I have heard that the importer of Wings of War into the UK has decided not to stock the Balloon Busters set because the retail price would have to be around £55.00! We have imported these sets from Germany and have taken a lower profit margin to help make them a little more affordable. The weak pound is the main culprit i'm afraid! Roland

I believe they include some rules, and a plane too, but still, the price is a bit much for me. |

Nice gesture on your part. I guess Series 4 WW1 will be more expensive than the current available models given the week pound but any idea when they might hit UK – end of the year perhaps? |

Nice to see them at Abingdon show but to expensive for myself
But having said that we had two at our club night this week so thank you Roland for getting for the Abingdon show |

I have heard that the importer of Wings of War into the UK has decided not to stock the Balloon Busters set because the retail price would have to be around £55.00! Will have to give 'em a ring Monday and fact-check that one, as my account handler rang a couple of weeks ago to say they were expecting an order, with a probable rrp of £46.99, which is too painful as it is…. Nice gesture on your part. I guess Series 4 WW1 will be more expensive than the current available models given the week pound The UK distributor only stock up *very* occasionally, so the exchange rate when that happens is the key, but it's worth noting that when Series 3 hit the UK (Feb '09 iirc) the pound was *weaker* against the dollar than it is today, so I'd not expect any increase…. any idea when they might hit UK Not much point guessing to be honest, given that items due out several months before them aren't available yet…. The last Nexus press release said "releasing in May" which likely means late June or early July for the UK, but that's assuming no further delays – a big assumption given they were due last year….
