Hi all,
I've finally tracked down an AAT and MTT for myself
(the AAT was at a Target, I think, and the MTT today
from the Big W at Keysborough). Now I'm looking for
the Millenium Falcon and the UCS sets. Anyone know
somewhere that actually has them in stock in Melb. ?
Ideally somewhere with decent prices ?
Places that didn't have them when I visited (in the
last week or two) :
Toys'R'Us (city & Chadstone),
Target (Southland),
Big W (Southland, Keysborough),
Toyworld (Southland, Camberwell, Keysborough),
Myers / David Jones (City / Chadstone) [1],
K-mart (Chadstone, Southland, & Burwood).
(some things I have seen lately : Southland Toyworld
had 5988 for $80, 6093 for $99 (got one of those - it
is a neat set !).
Camberwell Toyworld had 6975 for ... umm ... something
reasonable :) The one at Keysborough had 6975 with
a storage box for something relatively reasonable too.
Oddly enough, the MTT (Big W Keysborough) was only $80 -
given that it had a US RRP of $50, and has 466 pieces,
I was expecting it to be at least $120 - 140 - compare
it to the Gungan Sub, with 376 pieces, which retails
at around $110 - $120. Was a pleasant surprise, and
I'm half tempted to buy another one (lots of brown
bricks ! Lots of sloping pieces ! Lots of dark grey
and brown plate ! A bunch of tan bricks too ... ).
Hope the credit card survives :-> )
[1] I found it nicely ironic that the 2000.2
catalogue arrived in Myer just a week or two after
someone in the Myer toy dept. had assured me that
there would only be one Lego catalogue this year.
David.

| (...) Can't help with Melbourne but just to keep y'all updated on the Qld scene ... I went to Toyworld at Robina this morning to pick up my UCS X-Wing. The shop assistant told me that they have now sold all their UCS sets. Since I couldn't see any (...) (24 years ago, 27-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
