I'm not sure whether to be super excited, or embarassed for not knowing already, hence the punctuation, lol.

I am puzzled by the U.S. pricing. You can order from the U.K. and have it shipped over here for less. www.gltc.co.uk has red, black, and navy for 132 pounds and sand for 126 pounds (the lower prices show up when you actually put the stroller in your shopping basket). They apparently charge 49 pounds to ship to the U.S., although I ordered one last week and they seemed not to have charged me for shipping at all. At any rate, even assuming the addition of the shipping fee, that's a range of $325 to $336 . . . way less than the $429 sparkability is charging!

Maybe there is a difference in the model year of the stroller? That's the only thing I can think of that might explain it.

Maybe model year, yeah, but maybe 'we are the only ones taking orders, so we can charge anything we want'?
????

Yeah, I was checking out SWAP last night (probably your posts! lol) and was kind of amazed the prices from the UK are actually lower than 429 (which is, yeah, crazy for a stroller of that nature...what is the deal with stroller prices lately????)

Anyway... Maybe it'll be in regular stores soon at a better price...we can only hope!
