I wnt around town as I was asked if I could find a Yoda model for about 20 Euro as a present. The only one I found in the sci-fi shops in Dublin was an interactive Yoda at 80.99 euro.
On teh way home I called in Smyths in Jervis strett - same Yoda on special offer - reducture from 43 euro to 36 Euro.

Yes - 80 in one, 43 in the other.

Words fail me (and anyone who knows me knows how difficult that is)

I was told by an employee that Forbidden Planet has it's prices set by the head office (in scotland) so they are quite often beyond all logic when you look at their compeditors.

I completly agree; it's very east to get fleeced looking for sci-fi stuff in Dublin. Evil or Very Mad
