Once I'm organised (ha,ha), there probably will be.
Let us know if we post any sales of interest up here.
Any of the Big W $1.88 118x series impulse sets interest you ?

Yep, they're sneaky that way.
Their shelf ticketing leaves a lot to be desired, but sometimes their
clearances are half-price ! The Star Wars 7171 is $94.90 (was $189) and the
7161 is $59.90 (was $119). It always pays to scan things !
The 5561 up here is $59 and they still can't sell them ! (originally $150+)
A guy in Brisbane ebays one every couple of weeks and gets $80 AUD for them.
By the way, thanks very much for the detailed shop summaries, it's always
interesting to see what happens in other states.
