That there is heaps and heaps of Jack Stone is not necessarily a bad thing.
The "nothing else" bit is the real worry.... HP has been recently restocked
(but may have sold quickly again...), and the 2002 Star Wars sets are (or at
least have been) in stores.

I went to TRU Chatswood before the 2002 SW release and HP restock. There
seemed to be alot of sets on the shelves, but mostly JS, and the only sets
that I was interested in was the RBR and the Dino Adventurers big set.

Could be, but odd sets are forever turning up in shops - the X Wing & Pirate
Island at BigW, the RBR at TRU and the Armada Flagship & blue tub at KMart.
Also, don't forget that SW Ep2 is likely to be pretty big at retail...

I think it shares a common ancestor with the Rock Monster...

I'd like Blacksmith shop and another Guarded Inn (& maybe a cafe and pizza
shop too)... I'd be happiest if we could get 3+ people together to really
get the delivery charge down.
