If it scanned at that price,can't you purchase it at that price,I'm assuming
you wanted another X-wing. Ask James to relay his Big W story from Saturday,
it shows what can be done.

The 6037 (Witch's Windship) is one set that I have seen which has the greatest
variation of price. I saw my first in Metrop. Sydney at a suburban GB's for
$ 25 + , then I have seen it elsewhere for half that. But the best I saw was
Toyworld Dubbo where you got a 6037 AND a lego approved carry container with
a small bits flip-top tray on top, all for $ 12 (It was a half price sale).
But the places that have 6037's tend to have oodles of them.
