You mean set 5220 "Styling pack" as shown in the second catalogue for 2000
in Australia? It will ONLY be available from:
http://www.lego.com/powerpacks
as will 5218, 5219, 5221, and 5222, according to the catalogue.
[I'll get the scans of these sets up tonight.]
This will probably open in October, along with all the other webpages listed
in the catalogue.
