I have seen them in stores, I saw one (4561) in a south coast Toyworld at the
price of $ 299 AUD and I saw a 4561 in Grace Bros Parramatta and another in
Grace Bros Chatswood both at $ 299 as well (mmm... that nasty 300 barrier).
This was just last Thursday. Were they $ 340 in the service catalogue ?
Anyway maybe there is at least one in every GB's , like all the other large
current kits(non-train) they seem to have one on the shelf and the shelves are
quite full overall after the restocking after Xmas.

I guess all our players have been signed by European clubs. We might have to
make up some sides from scratch, maybe the Lego lions vs the Block Bulls.

No sightseeing (Carlsbad)? What with excess baggage, it might be cheaper to go
and buy a pile of Lego and make lifesize people out of it and buy them all one
way tickets back to here.
by the way Australia has just surpassed the Netherlands in the .loc groups.
