Any official £ prices for new stuff? Can do a quick conversion but it doesn’t always work like that because of tax and rounding.

Thank you for updating us guys. I’m intrigued by the ‘improved display /images’ or however it was worded.
(musketeer changes into a completely different person when his spell is ready! Always wondered what was going on with that, but I imagine it’s an art issue rather than anything else).
Cheers
Daniel
