I was in Toyworld Jindalee this morning on my way to work.
There were the 3 new HP sets. $61.50 for Gringotts Bank, Flying Lesson $6.95,
and Troll on the Loose ($21.95). I bought them all but have yet to open them.
There's not much to the Flying Lesson (2 figs, 23 parts), but it's the only
set apart from the Castle (at $150-ish) that has Draco Malfoy, so it's a much
cheaper source of Slytherin House torsos, and at $6.95, what can you expect
anyway? I will probably get more of these just for the Slytherin torsos.
> They also had all 4 star wars 'scene' sets, cloud car, ewoks, R2D2, Darth
> Vader, Yoda, and a few other sets
I saw all of these (I think) but I just couldn't get inspired by the smaller
"scene" sets (apart from a source of minifigs). The R2D2 and Darth Vader look
quite good, but I already have the larger Droid Discovery version of R2D2 and
I'm not really a big mecha fan, but may pick one up as a present in a month or
so. The cloud car is OK, but I don't feel undersupplied with red parts. Then I
saw Yoda. Ahhhhh ....
Given that this set didn't arouse much interest in me when I've seen it on the
WWW, it is amazing how much I liked handling the box. It did feel nice and
heavy and made a most satisfying sound as I shook it (a deep crunching noise).
I found it irresistable and yeah, well, soon I was flashing the plastic and
carrying it off with me.
Just for the record, Yoda was $124.95 which is not a bad price (I now
discover) as:
* S@H@OZ has it for $179.55 (plus shipping)
* S@H@USA has it for US$99.99
Also, there are 1075 pieces in Yoda. Gringotts Bank (at half the price) has
only 250 bricks, but then HP sets aren't the best brick-for-buck generally.
