Did you get these at Parramatta ?
I was there on Monday and couldn't find anything :^(

Yep bought them from TRU Parramatta on Thursday night, Didn't check David

team stickers.

This football set has been the best thing in Lego since we heard news about
Star Wars a couple of years ago.

But the appeal for this goes far wider, even taking into account the
participation rate of the population playing the game.

Right in time for Euro 2000 too.

Surely not a co-incidence.
