When was that again Paul?
I neglected to mention that this list was sent to me 3-4 weeks ago, all of the
sets listed were there then. Who is clearing out Milton? Hope it is not some
ebay entrepreneur.  All these sets including my lost laybuy have been there
for years gathering dust, and suddenly the place is cleared out within a
month! (old Duplo and all) I had purchased a few misc sets from him and all
the Lego remained untouched there for months, now Kapow they all disappear :-(
I am still in shock over losing my laybuy, escpecially as I had been referring
friends left right and centre to him who were buying all his old stock of all
sorts of useless rubbish (pound puppies etc) He was doing cartwheels, then
goes and accidently puts my huge laybuy (for my sons birthday and christmas)
back on the shelf (after promising he wouldn't) bugger laybuy, next time I use
plastic *cringe, whimper, it is a cruel, cruel world"

OK here is the list I promised:
PLAYWORLD INTERNATIONAL
119 PRINCES HIGHWAY
MILTON 2538


I actually stopped by here on the way to Sydney from Melbourne, basically on
Rachel's and Pete W's recommendation. All(*) of the stuff on the list below
had already gone... I did manage to bag the 6705's and the 6160 (it was good
to finally pick this one up, thanks Rachel!), they were %20 off, it looks
like he has this going all the time and simply compensates by having
inflated original prices. I guess I could have tried to talk him down to %25
but A) 6705 is an old(ish) set and the 'figs are worth quadruple what I paid
anyway; and B) I couldn't stand there haggling all afternoon because I
wasn't game to try driving up and down The Escarpment in the dark.

(*) Everything that isn't trivial to find everywhere else, that is.

Take 25% off the following prices, that is what he offered me, so I would
ask/demand that too if I were you. Especially as his prices are so inflated • to
start with(think he put them up, to put them down, they are so out of • whack)
Now don't quote me on the 25% off, (just push and be aware that that is the
price they were offered to me at) I still have to get my deposit back from • him
and this guy is not my favourite person at the moment and last time I spoke • to
him I let him know it!
Sorry, couldn't be bothered reducing the price for you then I would have • had
to think :-)
