'Ullo, 'ullo, 'ullo...what 'ave we got here then? Not another TUG [1]
delurking ?

Welcome to the group. [If you've delurked before, sorry. It's just I don't
recognise the name/email address :) And I thought there were only 2 TUGs on
lugnet.]

[1] TUG, in case you're interested, is what Tassie lego collectors are
referred to as. The complete list at present is:
BUG = Brisbane/Qld
MUG = Melbourne [actually Vic, but VUG didn't seem as easy to
remember/pronounce.]
SLUG = Sydney [though for some reason they want everyone to think they're
STUDs.]
SUG = S.A.
TUG = Tassie
WUG = W.A.
NSW (country), ACT, and NT don't as yet have an acronym...the local's had
better start coming out and choosing one :)
Both SUG and WUG are temporary names till the locals come up with a new
acronym.[as are the rest..it's just that those 2 definitely need replacing.]

Just got back from Toyworld, they have new stock that
arrived yesterday.
They
have Race, some Dino sets, Mickey (yuk!), Action Wheelers, • and new Baby
(Primo).  Also have restocked the Soccer sets (all sets).
Some of the
Dino
sets have apparently not come in but they are expecting
more stock in
about
4 weeks and will take orders for specific sets.  They also • have the new
catalogs behind the counter, you'll have to ask.

Nothing new in Target/Myer/Kmart etc as of yesterday and • late last week,
although Target did have the new catalogs but they have now • all gone.
Myer have had their supply process changed (for the worse), • I'll post more
on this later when I've got time!

Deidre (who has had ongoing ISP problems at home which • doesn't now matter
as I'm back at work - more money to buy Lego and less time • to build :))
