Thanks you. I am located in the EU and never come across Thompson (Belgium), But as I am used to buy things from Aliexpress and banggood I often don't even look up prices from stores over here as for the sam specs you'll spend 2 - 3 times the price.
It has to be said though that your warranty on these devices, when bought online is close to nihil, so don't drop the damn thing!
Yeah, you're absolutely right! They were sold in MediaMarkt stores (a large electronics chain over here) for a little bit extra compared to AliExpress, but I think it's worth the extra safety.
