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 can expect 20% off sales (such
as Myer usually has 20% for school holidays but they made a liar of me this
year and didn't do it for the June holidays, although we still got the
Easter break sale). Of course, if they're after a birthday present this
generally isn't much use. I've also steered people off the 6474 at Target
pointing them to Myer at $20.50 practically next door.
People are generally grateful for unsolicited Lego advice, don't be afraid
to speak up if you see someone looking worried in the Lego aisle!
