Has Heroes of the fallen lands hit the UK yet?

[pedr]

The Esdevium releases for the coming week (ship 20th) suggests that they will be in shops middle of this week.

Look here!

I should have come back to give an update: they were on sale in Patriot Games, Sheffield, yesterday, and I think at Ecclectic Games, Reading. So Esdevium did indeed get them sent out towards the end of last week. When they'll hit non game-channel stores, I don't know.

Picked up Fallen Lands from Orcs Nest earlier today. They had the RC last week. £14.99 though. Cheeky.

Yeah, they do feel expensive (particularly for zero-rated VAT products). $20 is £12.86 today, apparently.

Aren't $40 books priced at £26.99 in the UK (vs today's market exchange rate of £25.74), and $30 books priced at £19.99 (£19.29 today). Not sure what pushed the price of these up.

The Red Box is actually sort of slightly fairer - $20 + VAT is £15.11 which makes £16.99 closer to the 'actual' price.

Working in the book trade, mostly it's rounding and import fees. Traditionally Baker and taylor (main supplier of american books to waterstones) added about £1 to the converted title, irrespective of original price so $8.99 would be £6.99 and 19.99 would be £14.99 (these prices pulled out of my bottom).

If you buy your Red Box from Waterstones it's only 15.99 and the books are iirc going to be £14.99. It's extra cheap if you have staff discount.
