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 local
Toyworld store.
I had one hell of a time obtaining my free LEGO catalogue, it took nearly
two months of checking the toy store before it finally came in! They
finally got onto someone down in the Melbourne LEGO department, which is
apparently separate from LCSA, and had them send up some catalogues for them
in one of those Air Express bags or something.
Seems like there is quite a lot of stuffing around going on in certain areas
of the LEGO shipping department in Australia.
Cheers ...
