The S@H prices are basically the same as Michael posted earlier as the RRP
for Australia. But as any regular loc.au viewer knows, the BURP (Basically
Unrecommended Retail Price aka RRP) varies to the BIG WARP (BIG W Accepted
Retail Price) to the PERP (Pre-Easter Price)to the PCP (Pre-Christmas Price)
to the POOP (Percentage Off Occasional Price).

Every year a new year-load of children move into System range and another
year-load move off into Technic or Dark Age range, the Balloon gets another
life for another generation. With the archeological basis for the theme, there
will always be tombs and treasure, and time-frame wise biplanes.
Are there any more theatres for the Adventurers to explore ?
The BURPs are white though, a new colour is always handy. An excess of rope
bridges may well be peculiar to Australia (:^)
