Hi Jonathan,
I did the exact trek last week! - and was just as disappointed.
I did however take a trip out to Toyworld Canning Vale where they have good
stocks of the soccer sets -3409 for $54.95 (got mine!). Their Lego range is
not bad overall, with a couple of specials - 6110 for $3.00, 6718 Western for
$10.00.
Toyworld Subiaco and TRU seem to stock most of the Robotics stuff.
Braith.
