But costs more pounds than dollars. What's that, twice the $12 US price?
Yeah. There's something odd about the Pathfinder price there.
The D&D price is much higher in the UK because the moment you add dice to the boxed set it becomes a game rather than a book, and so gets hit with import duties and the 20% VAT. So $20 morphs into £17.
What's odd, though, is that the Pathfinder RRP appears to be a direct translation of the US price - $35 becomes £20ish. So it would appear that Amazon are taking the hit on duties and VAT for us. Which is nice of them, I guess.
And then both get a nice big discount from Amazon as well.
(Obviously you, Morrus, knew about the VAT situation. Just thought I'd better set it all out for the majority US readers here. )
But the larger point made on this thread is certainly valid: the RRP difference between $20 and $35, not to mention to typical discounts on the likes of Amazon, certainly favours the D&D 5e set, and a review that doesn't take that into account is somewhat lacking, to say the least.
