I checked Target at Camberwell today, and they were just putting them on the

have the carry case like the old ones did either.

The Toyland next door to Target had 7115 and 7134 for $39.90
and 7124 for
$29.90. They're dreaming!

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.

WOW! That's waaaaaaaaay 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 receipt in their face!

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.

This just gets worse! That's nearly $1.00 per piece! US MSRP is $7.00. Time to
bring the Prices Surveilance Authority in on this one. What was Richard saying
about guns and revolutions? Lock and load!!!
