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]

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!
