Hi all,
Dont bust a gut to get there. Had probably 20 seperate displays
featuring islanders, pirates, starwars. First night had a very large
turnout. Was abviously aimed at the cosumers and not the collector (duh!)
Didn't get a chance to speak to any Lego Staff. All seemed to be Myer staff.
So couldn't get answer about other shows. Sorry!
Myers were giving away coke and some food. Large queues to get served for
the 20% off goodies. First time I had seen all the lastest sets in one
place. Had all the mindstorms range and the very latest starwars and what
seem to be all the soccer sets. 4 buses etc. Braith can probably add more
detail. It was good to finally meet Braith in person. (sorry I was late!.
Freeway is crap when it first rains)
I grabbed the base Soccer set 3409 and a Bus 3404 and a lighting tower 3402
and one expansion set 3410 . Also some new budget sets adventurers 5903 and
5904. about $85 after %20 off. Discount applies for the duration of the
display.
The Tidman brothers were there added more to their already vast collection.
:)
No trains that I could see.
The rugrats are enjoying the soccer sets. They are better than I expected.
Will have to get another base set thought to make a decent ground.
Cheers for now
Terry Mason
