Mmmm.  Big W Campbelltown (NSW) had 30+ of each of Pirate Island and the
Fire Station at $45.

Still a few of these about, especially the Fire Station. If they can't sell
these at this price, will they ever sell, maybe the sale was too late and
the Big W shoppers' dollars were already spent elsewhere.
A mum was examining the islander set in one store, and quizzed me as to it's
origins, not being in the catalogue can't help recognition value and won't
put it on Xmas "I want" lists, only half the population are online.

For mine, I never liked any of the Islander sets, but at $45, Pirate Island
is a rather fine collection of pieces: 2 decent 32sq baseplates, a rope
bridge, twin sail set for a rowboat, and interesting black and grey pieces.

Not to mention the foliage:-palm trees, bushes and those green branchy things.
Some nice castle bits for a pirate set.

So I got one (obviously).  Anyone need some islanders?

You could always leave them in a polybag for a week and wait for the protein
re-allocation to take place, five islanders go in,.....three islanders and a
doggie bag come out.

(...) Looks like they'll never sell. Still truck-loads at Big W Southland, but no pirate islands. No baby dinos at Safeway, either. ROSCO (23 years ago, 29-Dec-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
