I reckon we should put together a list of toy shops that over-charge for
items, and do our best to get people to stop buying lego from them. This
would be a community service, helping both lugnet members, and also could be
of use for displays like the TRU one Peter did earlier this month, where we
could pass on the information about the best and worst places to buy lego,
as one of the main complaints I've heard is about its cost.
To start the list:
Worst:
Target Victoria
6474 $45.95 RRP $22.95 [or similar]
KMart Airport West [Victoria]
2000 Catalogue 1 $0.50 RRP Free
Best:
BigW [Victoria]
Prices generally 10% or so below RRP

| (...) This is the same in Tas but then Target probably considers us part of Vic anyway. What does this set cost in Target elsewhere? If I overhear parents complaining about the price whilst looking at Lego I generally tell them where and when they (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

| EEP!! BOYCOTT IT?!?!?! More like write one heck of a letter of complaint to TLG Inc. and have one of their reps PERSONALLY fix that store up with the proper pricing for that item. I don't think I've seen that item for more than $25 around at the (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
