We have all seen the podrace 7171 set on clearance in different countries
around the globe.
A 7171 was seen on Friday in a toy store in one of the more expensive suburbs
of Sydney for $ 270.00 AUD. The highest I have ever seen it is $ 228 AUD.

WOW ... US$ 185.00 equals about AU$ 313.50 ,very scary. You'd expect remote
control podracers racing round your loungeroom for that price.
On ebay they seem to go for approx. US$60+, which is similar to the AUS
clearance price.
Maybe some people just don't get out much.
