In my opinion, the sets is good, although the main reason (other than price)
for me not to buy it is the engine section...It doesn't look right.
And seeing as I leave all my models built, I don't want something I don't
like the look of. [However, if the price was dropped by 40% when the stores
are clearing excess stock, I might change my mind about it :-) ]

They had it on special for $230 just before christmas, I bought a CD player
for my car instead though.
I'll go check out Chatswood during lunch someday. But the problem with this
set is that you look at it, yet you still aren't convinced that you want it.
Well my opinion anyhow. Even at that special price mentioned, I still
thought,
do I really want it at all?

Yes, give them a call and they'll ship it out (with extra for postage and
handling of course)

Why do all Australian Sporting teams have to have an identitiy for a name (?
pardon the lack of propoer descriptors, I'm merely an engineer). I mean why
aren't they just called "Sydney Football Club" but instead they'll be called
"Sydney Ladybeetles" or something like that.

| (...) Hey Ben, Why do all your reply posts come up as a new thread rather than attached to the end of the original thread? Maybe this is one for Todd to answer. I'm looking at it from the web interface. Pete Callaway (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
