Hey Everyone,
I had a 7190 Millenium Falcon, I posted it for sale a few weeks ago, unopened
as well! I sold it for a $100AU, a great bargain but I made a bit of a profit
because I payed $50AU and three Pokemon Cards for it! :). If anyone wants one
e-mail me,and I can set something up!

Later,
James

I saw stacks of the 7190 in TRU late last week, umm'ed and ahh'ed about
buying one (AUD$169), then decided to go back a few days later only to find
that it had SOLD OUT in EVERY TRU in Melbourne!!! Do the kids love this set
or what! Sort of makes a joke of all the grown-ups who have been poo-pooing
the design. Apparently the set rocks!

I'd be interested to know how it's moving in the other states (if it's
appeared yet at all).

In sharp contrast, the UCS X-wing sets have been languishing on the shelves.
Couldn't really bring myself to buy one either - I mean, for AUD$230 do I
want another thousand 1xN/2xN plates? And don't I have the imagination to
build an X-wing myself if I wanted to, with the parts I've already got? Then
again, I guess the set's not targeted at a serious builder like myself who
has a zillion bricks already. But then, I don't have boiler-plate-printed
dome pieces or a minifig Chewbacca or Leia or Threepio.... mmmust...
buy..... 7190..... *drool*
