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)

I'm not too sure about that being the last of the sales till the end of the financial year, as we know LEGO will decrease in price with GST, I think most of the larger stores will try and clear their stocks before the price drops[1]. This means that (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
