Well actually he was the state manager apparently.
Talked about the 2002 stuff, Releases start in Feb/March.More in April/July.
Said there was Star Wars to be released in conjunction with Episode 3.
Talked about the Yoda sculpture. $180 was the price. Might be a good parts
set, depending on the piece count.. He seemed really impressed with it..
Talked about the new soccer sets. The new soccer field will RRP at $99
Said it was a much bigger set, more players, more room on the field again
seemed impressed with it.
BAD NEWS to me anyway :-( .... Looks like Life on Mars is deleted. Didn't
sell well enough apparently..
Harry Potter is selling through the roof, He said selling out before
Christmas is distinct possibility.
Of course Bionicle is selling like hot cakes...
He hadn't heard of LugNet :-( Told him about it.
Was very suprised when i told him that we buy multiple copies of a single
set.
His words were " So thats were they all go"
Said that when KMART had the blue tubs on sale they sold 40,000
units...Australia Wide...
Yes Forty Thousand units... they bought in a total of 55,000 units.
He did say they would be on special at $39.99 again shortly. to clear the
leftovers
He also said that Kmart will have the UCS Tiefighter for $99 shortly. Sounds
REAL GOOD..Layby some of those methinks...
Lastly he also said that LEGO may be doing one of there show things in
Rocky... Now that would be cool............. Well to me anyway.... :-)

| (...) Current field set would suit ants, I combined multiple fields to make a decent sized pitch, maybe others did as well. (...) Guessed that one, too many new colours, too many quasi-Techno specialised bits. I liked LoM personally. At half-price (...) (23 years ago, 7-Nov-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
