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.

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 http://www.lugnet.com/loc/au/?n=104 for the prices I got.

I've also had confirmation of someone pre-ordering the Falcon from Toyworld in
Victoria for AUD$280. Now we know that Toyworld are on the high side of the
RRP envelope, so my guess is it'll be released for AUD$259.00

If it comes out at AUD$359, someone at LA deserves to get a smack!

Pete, I want to be the one with the BIG Glove doing the smacking. The lady from LA did say three, not two hundred. I asked if she said 2 or 3, and she replied 3. Make that a stick, or maybe an aluminium cricket bat. Mike (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.starwars)
