Was, in Grace Brothers city store today (same chain as Myers). They had a
large table of HP LEGO (sans Fluffy and Express).I asked was there a sale • on
soon as I'd heard such and they said yes.

Yes, Tommorrow.
Yes, 20%
Yes, all LEGO.

I went to my local Myer at Indooroopilly today (Thursday), grabbing a
catalogue at the entrance. Bad news!

Yes, Harry Potter Lego is featured in the catalogue, but at full price! No
discounts.
There is 20% off some brands of toy but not for LEGO.

The good news is that some Lego items are on sale. The best deal was the
Silver Champion at $195 (down from $295). There were also Star Wars (e.g.
Imperial Shuttle -- a nice set, that one), Bionicles, and miscellaneous
other sets reduced; all of discounted Lego appeared to be stuff released
last year or early this year. More recent releases like Jack Stone appeared
to be at full price.

As far as I could see, all the Harry Potter sets were available (other than
the ones we know aren't in Australia yet) and were priced as follows:

* Sorting Hat $11.95 on the boxes (the shelf said $12.95 and it scanned at
$12.95 so demand the box price!)
* Final Challenge $19.95
* Snape's Classroom and Winged Keys both $39.95
* Hagrid's Hut $59.95
* Hogwart's Express $89.95
* Hogwart's Castle $159.00

So, we've been given a bum steer by the Myer staff on this one!

Thankyou to all with the Myer info, I was heartened to be able to layby a Hogwart's Express, even though it wasn't "on sale" on such. The guy (not Sean) who took my husband's call when he rang up Friday morning to get them to hold the HP castle and (...) (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
