Hi Studs, LEGOzzers, and victims of the Australian Peso, Just rang Lego Aust @ Lane Cove. Set 7190 (Mil. Falcon) is due for release at end of July (28th I think). I totally forgot the exact date when the helpful lady told me the pre GST rrp of $359.00. If it goes up 10% thats $395.00 And stupid me has been steering my kids away from 7150 (Y-Wing and TIE Fighter) telling them to wait for Millenium Falcon ('cause its about $120.00). Arrgggghhhhh. Mike (insert sobs here). P.S. I'll go with Benjamin's idea on the Minifig sets from OS

(...) This can't be right. I think the person at LA must have swapped a two with a three somewhere along the line. When I range LA back in February I got a price list for all of the 2000 Star Wars range. The exchange rate has got worse, but see (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.starwars)
