 | | Probable effect of GST on LEGO
|
|
The way I see it, Lego SHOULD decrease in cost by about 10%. This is due to the way the GST is worked: Currently, each set is imported by LA. This is then sold to the retailer with 22% wholesale sales tax. The RRP is then 40% on top of this price. (...) (25 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

Fair enough...Don't worry if you can't find the 7161..I'll leave it till the next sale.[However, if you can get it at the discounted price you listed previously [$59.90 I think you said], that would be OK. Benjamin Whytcross (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
