Penrith Plaza (early Friday morning):

Target:- no new catalogues, but all LoM sets were, bar the vacuum cleaner.
The box images really do the new sets justice, much better than the scanned
cat images viewed online. The new colours strawberry, blueberry and spearmint
all look very tasty.

Only a few of each nu SW set and these were squeezed in on top of the Technic.
The racks were full of Lego (note: these are small Target shelves), with
fluoro basic buckets all over the floor.

There is a new Duplo set that has a trans-clear greenhouse that may have some
crossover potential.

Grace Bros:- moving their Lego again, nothing new.

Meanwhile in the shopping mecca of chatswood, Tar-zhay has <consonant indicating
"not much at" deleted>-ay, unless you want slizers or the largest arctic set,
while GBs seemed to have almost all of the new LoM, Star Wars and DUPLO at quite
reasonable prices (no purple people pumper though).

The Duplo greenhouse looks like an excellent set, for only $20 at Grace Bros. A
tree, some flowers, bricks with fruit decoration, a fig, a cat, some
accessories, the NEW corn brick, the NEW carrot brick and of course the
eponymous greenhouse, a great piece that cries out for de-SPUDding.

(...) It looks small for Duplo scale, but the correct size for minifig scale. Those carrots look minifig size. pete.w (longing to live in his traditional homelands) (23 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
