Popped by Melbourne (city) TRU itching to spend some of my pay packet, and
what do I see but Soccer sets being put on the shelves! I scanned a few
items for prices, unfortunately I was in a hurry and they hadn't unpacked
all of the sets yet. I grabbed anything that gave a good first impression.
3404, 3407 Soccer buses - $18
Okay value. Compares well to, say, Droid Fighter which is around the same
price at TRU. Comes with a variety of male minifig heads and three colours
of short minifig hair. Sadly the train windows don't have the train panes
(but most of you probably knew that). Still, it's a nice Town-ish set (with
NO chassis pieces! Yay!). I bought one red bus and one black bus.
3402 Seats with Stadium Light- $9
Nine dollars seems like great value for a good number of largish pieces
(compare it to, say 6463). Has 2x4 rounded NON-FLUORO trans-yellow
elements! When I built this I couldn't help but feel a wave of nostalgia,
because (apart from a bit of white) it has the Classic Space colour scheme
of grey, blue and trans-yellow. It also has a white 6x8 slope piece with NO
PRINTING which I'd wanted for some time. I was so impressed with the set I
bought four of it on the spot. I might even buy four more tomorrow.
3409 Complete soccer oval - $115
I felt that this was a bit pricey for a load of limited-purpose green
pieces. Then again, I can see a use for all those white 2x6 steep slopes
already, so I'll probably end up buying one, definitely if I see one for 20%
or even 15% off. Obviously you can tell I'm not interested in playing the
game :-)
3408 "Super Sport Coverage" - I don't remember exactly how much this one
was, around $50.
I didn't buy this. The piece selection in it didn't seem particularly good,
and although it's not really any less juniorised than the 3402, it
definitely LOOKS more juniorised.
Cheers,

| (...) Can we export these? S@H has them marked at US$22. Yay finally something cheaper AFTER import! (...) again this is better than the US. (...) I guess this is where they are making the money but it's still good compared to the largest set iin (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
