Has anyone noticed the price difference between an item being sold in the UK to the same one being sold to a US customer? Do their prices include shipping to the states? On their website the Fantasy Teaser Box is shown as 50 Pounds Sterling but $90 USD. When I look up the current exchange rate on google I show that 50 Pounds is $65. USD That's a significant difference. I'm not trying to cast aspersions on Mantic. I just don't understand why there is a huge price gap in USD. |

And are they taking of VAT? many of the companies are not removing it which is bending the law slightly. |

Some companies do not adjust their prices to what the current exchange rate is. I avoid these type of folks and they will never get any business from me at all. |

Some only adjust when it is favorable to them. |

I think they simply haven't readjusted after the £ crash. Most companies rise their £ prices to match the USD level, I think it's a fine thing Mantic has not done that yet. |

Don't recall the Pound being $1.80 USD for quite some time, if ever. Should be about $67 USD at today's exchange rate of about $1.33 USD per GBP. |
