(...) I agree it's a fine line but you have put your finger on the nub of the problem: a stamp is a receipt. If GST was charged on the service and not on the stamps, then buying a stamp would simply be a receipt fo advanced payment received by (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Maybe have the "Oz" below the brick, and covering half of it sort-of? Or have the "Oz" rotated 90 deg going down, remove the brick, and use a 1x1 brick profile (similar to brickshelf) as a backdrop? Dunno, just brainstorming here. ROSCO (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

Hi, I was at Roselands yesterday and visited Toyworld and GB. Both had the new LOM and new Star Wars sets - GB was cheaper. The Technic C-3PO was $64.95 as Toyworld and $54.95 at GB. They also had the StormTrooper for the same price. Anthony. (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
