Target: very disappointing selection, seemed to carry only a limited set of

Myer: had sets across a wide range of themes. A good place to pick up the
4886 Building Bonanza (was it exclusive to Myer? I never see it elsewhere).

Toyworld (Queen Street): Very good selection, both in terms of theme
coverage and range within themes. The best of the 3.

I've noticed the same thing in the Melbourne CBD Target. Had a fantastic range
on the opening day of the sale. Now has half a shelf of basicly nothing. Myer
CBD has the best range, DJ's has about as much as target, and Big W is about
inbetween. Unfortuantly there are no Toyworlds or Kmarts near by to compare too.


Actually, I am in the process of building the Death Star at the moment.
Given I have a large parts collection, I decided instead of buying the set
(A$500+), I'd buy the instructions and some parts off bricklink and see if I
could do it for a lot less -- admittedly I am not worrying too much about
exactly matching colours (especially the old/new greys). I figure so long as
the end effect is suitably Death-Star-ish, I'll be happy. I'm not quite half
way yet, mainly because I've been busy for a few weekends in a row.

That is a good idea.... Off to peeron to see if I have the parts required
