Another set spotted...

Target Box-Hill:
2936 Station $69.95.

[And that red thing is a door which has a round section pulled out to the
track side, and a letter slot in it.]

Hi, Has anyone?

Nope, not yet.  I am looking out for them, but am undecided • as to whether I
will actually buy any, waiting to see them in the plastic first :)

Yep...The tunnel and the F1 transporter were at my local
toyworld today...
Tunnel $36.99
F1 Transporter $27.99 [both from memory]

The tunnel doesn't come in a box, but has a cardboard
'wrap-around', which
also covers the tunnel entrances. It looks interesting, and
comes with a
mountaineer and a sign to warn people of trains. The F1
transporter looks
reasonable, with a new [well to me anyway] chassis [4 studs
wide :) ] The box
on the end of the carriage can [according to the pictures on
the box] be used
to house the driver. the car looks cute, but seems rather small.

I must say it's about time the Lego Reps started
working...The local ones has
finally visited, but the store are unable to get him to
answer his phone so
they can check on the availablity of a set for me :(

Myer Hobart had some sealed Lego cartons at lunch time but • they haven't
got Dinos and Race out yet so I reckon that's them (finally) • and there'll
still be a bit of a wait for September release products (for • Tassie, anyway).

You have got me wondering!  Do tell?  Not that there's • anything wrong with
Duplo trains, heck I bought ours for me, not my kid! :)

(...) They can't be that far away for me then, another couple of weeks at the most! (...) Aha, thanks for solving that mystery! And for anyone that was actually interested, Myer Hobart's mystery cartons last week were Primo, Mickey Mouse, and Race. (...) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
