Howdy,
Well without causing too much trouble i hope, i say that once you've
been into one toy's r us, you've been to them all. Prices are the same,
range is the same (although one might be better stocked in quantity than
another).
The one i frequent most often is the Westfield Parramatta store, i've
been lucky twice, they had the Cowboy fort for $80 in a sale bin and
the other time was picking up boxes of rails for $15 each.
Off the top of my head, the stores that i've seen Lego in are
Big W
Kmart
Target
Toys R Us
Grace Brothers
Hobbyco (and also the toy store across from it..but very $$$$)
(The now defunct) World For Kids...damn i had shareholder discount
there...
Im sure that list can be doubled..tripled..whatever..but these are the
stores that i assume are the prime retailers for Lego in Australia. As
for discounts, there'll surely be some pre Christmas, and then maybe
some clearence stuff post Christmas.
Im stating the obvious yes..but its the best i can come up with for
now.

| I'll start watching more carefully. What do you guys want me to look for? There's not much among the current sets that appeals to me at present, apart from Star Wars, and I'm well satisfied (broke) at present. Despite a great deal of effort up and (...)
