The pin itself is nice enough, but BOO! Disney Store needs to give Euro collectors unique pins and at affordable prices!
 
As if! I was tempted to get it when I saw the LE was only 50, but it's actually LE 200 then I'm not as drawn to it. Oh well, saves me £150!!

I guess it would be nice if we did have a low LE set in the UK (It might finally give me some good traders!) but at least I can save my money this month!

This mornings post made me really angry, I was waiting for a nice £9 pin of something colourful that I could use as a trader to get pins I can't get and this monstrosity pops up! Ok so I'm not really a star wars fan, the films aren't bad but the merchandise is always so dull, then Europe gets ripped off again and if all that wasn't bad enough they lie, they put LE 50 which isn't true at all. Maybe I'm just mad cause I've spent the best part of 3 days dealing with customer service and don't feel like I'm getting anywhere.

Sorry to all you die-hard star wars fans I think star wars is great as a film but I will never consider it Disney and that goes for the muppets as well. Glad I got all that off my chest xD
 
The biggest insult to the UK collectors is the price. £150 is approx. $246 right now and it is on sale in US at $179.99. An extra $66 !!!!!!!!!

And as for LE 50, more like, "We have 50 left, let's ship it to the Brits and get them to buy them !

I would predict that they will still have 50 left weeks after it is available !!!!!

The thing is, is buying from the US at $180 + shipping + customs cheaper than buying from the UK site at $246 + shipping? How much is shipping from the US site to UK, and (since it's Disney, they're not going to lie on the customs form and say the items are only worth $20.) how much is customs for a $180 item? I've heard customs is very expensive, so I think the $66 difference isn't that much?
 
This makes me sooooo sick!! How can they rationalize selling us a LE 150 but use the EXACT shames pins, background and frame but because it's in the UK it doesn't count? So thankful I didn't crack and buy it here, when I saw it I really wanted it but wasn't happy about the price. Grrrr.

It's totally weird that they're calling it a LE 50 when it's the exact same set! Cause the UK got the frozen pin and they said it was LE 450 worldwide and 150 of that were designated to Europe, but on the actual banner it said LE450! It's so weird that they're basically lying to us that it's 50 :s
 
I allways fight with the UK Disneystore and it never cares them....i think this kind of pins are not the ones for the European market. It is way tooo expansive and finally the wont sell it like the 1000 boxes who are still in stock :)
