First Post. :)

Does anyone think it's likely the Redbeard Runner will appear in • australian
shops over Christmas?  Or should I just go with s@h?

Hi David! This is the info that Ben Whytcross obtained a couple of weeks
ago:

   For my good news of the week...I have CONFIRMED information about the
   release of this set...It is an exclusive for one of the smaller chain
stores
   that specialise in toys, and will be released either late next month or
   early in December. The release will be heralded by a catalogue from this
   store, and will be advertising the set as being in the $115-130 AUS
range.

If this is correct, then we will all be better off to buy locally since S@H
is $191.95 plus shipping.

Ben, does this "smaller chain store" operate nationwide or only in certain
areas? Or to be precise, does it have a Brisbane store?

Yep, there are stores in/around Brisbane.

For some further info, the set is exclusive to this chain in Aus [like the
other boat in k-mart]. I BELIEVE orders were taken in Melbourne during the
toy fair [march] and it is scheduled to go into a catalogue towards the end
of the year. [Of course, it should arrive in the next month or so, but as
there are many different 'franchises' in this group, different stores/areas
may sell it at different times.]

Anyway, as you'll be down south around its release time, you should have a
chance of picking up one down here if the sale has started.

I hope this helps,

Benjamin Whytcross
