I finally got to meet Jason King from Rockhampton, during his visit to
Brisbane this weekend. We did the Lego Shopping Tour Of Brisbane [as
trademarked by Richie Dulin], consisting of the CBD and Garden City,
covering Myer, DJs, Target, Kmart, BigW, TRU and Toyworld. A lesser man
might have quailed at this challenge, but Jason was up for it.
The best discounts of the day were at Toyworld (both in the Myer Centre and
Queen Street), which has the
5987 Dino Research Compound for $80 [lots of tan, brown and green in this
set]
4561 Railway Express for $180 [awful train, but it comes with a regulator
etc]
7161 Gungan Sub for $45 [I think]
5920 Island Racer for $4 [they must have had 100s of these]
???? Black Case containing basic bricks for $15 [Mel, do you know the
number?]
Note only the Black Case appears in the Toyworld catalogue, so I cannot say
if these discounts are available at all Toyworlds, or only at our Mr Toys
Toyworlds.
Due to the rain we decided not to bother with Mr Shifty at Southbank.
Later we went to Peter's place to play trains with Ken and Mark on the new
layout. We also talked about cats and watched the classic movie Mrs Miniver
for a while. For the benefit of those present who wanted to know more about
the film than I could remember, see here:
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0035093
Incidentally, Mrs Miniver was played by Greer Garson, who was 38 at the time
the film was made, so she *was* old enough to play a role of a mother, whose
son was joining the air force as portrayed in the film.

And an awkwardly odd number of low-sloped roof pieces... which (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
