At TRU, 7186 Watto's Junkyard is on clearance at $19.98???
That's right, twenty dollars!!! I'm not kidding. Mind you, there are some
downsides:
1. They're bloody hard to find nowadays. I found one, shoved behind some big
Bionicle sets that, despite their obvious glamour and appeal to Australian
Lego enthusiasts of all ages, had been sitting there literally for months!
So weird.
2. Much more importantly, Watto's Junkyard contains no Bionicle masks! A big
bummer, I know, especially considering you could go to Macca's and buy ten
Bionicle promo toys for the same price, and get an amazing inventory of
elements, including:
10 Bionicle masks
20 Bionicle feet
10 Bionicle torsos (WOW!!!)
Another good value set I spotted is at Big W - Mono Jet is available at just
$1.94 and contains a decent astronaut minifig, some good sloped bricks
(including sand blue) and a small selection of useful bricks. Admittedly it
contains a wheel which is really only useful if you want to make a
futuristic vehicle, and of course it's NOWEHERE near as useful as a Bionicle
mask and it doesn't come in a variety of highly collectible colours and
shapes like Bionicle masks do. At just under 6 cents a part, though, it's
worth considering, even though you could buy a McDonald's promo toy for the
same price... damn, even I'm not sure now.
I'll see y'all at MACCAS then!!!

| Actually, I knew about this a while ago (literally months ago). Unfortunately, at the time they had no sets in the local (well, 20 mins drive away) TRU. I did however pick up the Enchanted Island (Islanders) for $60 from there not too long ago. So (...) (22 years ago, 24-Aug-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
