> Hmmm...25% off and we're rabbitting on about MB.
I went to TRU this morning to see if there was any Lego of interest at 25%
off. Well, lets be honest, I was thinking specifically of the new Silver
Champion.
However, when I got there, I saw the Silver Champion shelf-priced at $320.
Great, I can save $80, but on the flip side, I have to spend $240. Hmm ...
Anyway, while Hmm-ing (a process that takes me some time), my eyes strayed
to the Mega Blok Pro-Builder sets, situated right beside the Silver
Champion. And an evil thought crept into my brain; how much Pro-Builder
could I buy with $240?
So, I played a little game. I picked the Pro-Builder set I liked most and
popped it in my trolley, scanning the price as I did. Then I picked the set
I liked next best, and so until I could put no more within the $240 limit.
So, what was in my trolley, when I finished this little game:
9745 Wave Breaker (racing boat in red, white, and navy blue, 700 pieces) $40
9760 Battleship (grey and beige battleship, 780 pieces) $40
9762 Desert Patrol (sand-yellow tank, 660 pieces) $40
9743 Blue Thunder (sky-blue and sun-yellow fighter plane, 690 pieces) $40
9707 Combat Tank (jungle-green tank, 340 pieces) $25
9741 Sea Rescue (red helicopter, 710 pieces) $40
Total: 6 sets, 3880 pieces, $225.
Guess what ... I didn't buy the Silver Champion! Admittedly I did buy some
25% off Lego, but not for myself, only for gifts.
For those interested in MB, as well as the sets listed above, there were
also:
red and yellow dragster
green helicopter
orange hotrod
Welcome to the Dark Side!

| Hi Kerry, With prices like that you wonder if it is worth going over to the dark side the force is strong in me but is it that strong, mmmm only time will tell. Some of the MB sets are not bad give them a few years to improve the quality and look (...) (24 years ago, 4-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
