I checked Target at Camberwell today, and they were just putting them on the
shelf. They said they had been out the back of the store, but they hadn't
got around to putting them on the shop floor. Still no technic droids,
though, although they also had some of the new slizers.[The new ones don't
have the carry case like the old ones did either.

You think that's bad...Toy kingdom at Gladstone park had the small
rock-raider set (4910) at $14.95. When I queried the price, I was told that
it was the correct price, and it cost so much because of the
brand-name...even though on LEGO's order form (I'm still trying to get this
years) it had an RRP of $5.50.
Also, I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but at target (at least in
Vic), the new town digger (6474) is $45.95, whereas everywhere else it is
$19.95 or less.

| (...) WOW! That's waaa...aaay out. The US MSRP is $2.99, so casually multiply that by about 2 for the AUD price. $14.95 is absurd. They'll NEVER move it at that price. You should buy one at "normal" price, take it into them and shove it plus the (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
