Before anyone says anything about my being part of the thread...This is from
home, not work.
Now that I've got that out of the way, I can't actually remember seeing this
anywhere other than Myer stores. [Then again, as I don't really like the
design, I haven't really worried about it.] [The price does include the
transformer...says a lot about the set quality :) ]

The last time I was at the local toy-world, they told me that different stores
can buy in stock at different prices [eg, Myer get stock at different price to
toy-world, and toy kingdom]. I don't really believe this, having seen the
price-lists. The reason for the price differences is that the stores get more
money at RRP, therefore they sell at RRP.
