correcto, scene of pete.w handing in his honorary rangers badge.

Any chance of getting the two prices [before and after] and set number?

Nope...The stores all paid 22% WST. This means that NO lego set is to go up
in price [neither is any other toy/sporting item] Maybe we need to do a
crackdown on overpricing stores next month :)
If the prices aren't about 8-12% lower with GST, then the store is
definitely profiteering. I think the ACCC should be set on this store.

I will believe prices going down, when I see it. Prices have been chugging
up across the board for the first six months of 2000 for everything else,
that's non-Lego.
Get those stores for selling soccer sets at double-price !
