Hi team, Sorry for the provocative subject header, but you're all here now. This is what I have gleaned from LEGO Australia. Looks like we'll need Kerry Packer's job to afford it all. I've used the current Aussie Peso exchange rate of USD$0.614 AUD Retail USD MSRP AUD Equivalent of USD MSRP Release Date March 2000 7104 Desert Skiff $18.95 $5.99 $9.61 7115 Gungan Patrol $36.95 $14.99 $24.41 7124 Flash Speeder $25.95 $9.99 $16.27 7134 A-Wing Fighter $36.95 $14.99 $24.41 7144 Slave 1 $55.95 $19.99 $32.41 7180 B-Wing Fighter $89.95 $29.99 $48.84 8000 Pit Droid $42.95 $19.99 $32.41 8001 Battle Droid $64.95 $29.99 $48.84 8002 Destroyer Droid $106.95 $49.99 $81.42 Release Date June 2000 7155 Trade Federation AAT $49.95 $19.99 $32.41 7184 Trade Federation MTT $126.95 $49.99 $81.42 Release Date August 2000 7181 UCS TIE Interceptor $239.95 $99.99(?) $162.85(?) 7190 Millennium Falcon $264.95 $99.99 $162.85 7191 UCS X-Wing $359.95 $149.99(?) $244.28(?) So to buy one of each in Australia I'm up for AUD$1,519.40. Methinks I'll be buying them from the USA. Pete Callaway
