hmmm,
Odd behaviour for Myer. Myer Hobart had some of the Harry Potter arrive in
store last Wednesday or Thursday, I saw them as they always sit the unopened
Lego freight boxes out in front of the Lego aisle and I've become adept at
reading the codes on the boxes! Usual behaviour is to unpack them straight
to the shelves that day or next. Anyway, seeing the 20% off Friday and
Saturday notice, went back in only to find they'd disappeared without trace.
I don't recally Myer holding back new stock because of a discount sale
before (not recently anyhow), their usual habit is to make stock available
straight away, regardless. Hope this does not become a habit.
No word on any approaching sales, but my usual source is either on holiday
or has left the section/store. I'll be keeping an eye out too - Myer
catalogues have a tendency to come out on Thursdays.

| And yes, neatly sidestepping the 20% off, Harry Potter has (mostly) hit the shelves at Myer Hobart. The castle is $159.95 (5 copies spotted), no Hogwarts Express but most of the other sets (barring the 3 delayed release ones). Also, not 1 but 10 (...) (23 years ago, 23-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
