BSB now at LS@H, pre-order for A$149.95, delivering from October 31.

That is an absolutely beautiful price in my opinion.  I was expecting to
have to pay a good $250 for it.  As soon as I have the money, I'm getting
that one, and the ISD.


I reckon $250 would have been overpriced (considering a $100 to $110 RBR as
an alternative). The BSB is very nice, but (slight pause whilst I don my
flame proof suit) it's not twice as good as a RBR.

These reissues are indeed good value...

Compare:
Black Falcon Fortress $74.95, 421pcs (17.8cpp)
to
King Leos Castle $195, 524pcs (37.2cpp)

And:
Black Seas Barracuda $149.95, 896pcs (16.7cpp)
to
Red Beard Runner $189.95, 698pcs (27.2cpp)

All using S@H prices... certainly RBR's can be had for a lot less... and at
$100 (14.3cpp) are a pretty good deal.


Cheers
