Check "Child & Adult" in Elsternwick. They claim to sell at 20% off all the
time, but looking back I'm not sure the originals were RRP, but they might
well have been. In any case, the prices weren't as low as Pete W said they
were at Camden Toyworld.
With all the variations in prices one sees at Myer, TRU, etc., it gets a
little confusing.
They also have some "LEGO Service" spares that they thoughtfully ordered
over the years from LA, go down there and have a dig through their trays of
spares bags... now how many stores have done _that_? ;-)
