Me either. Where was it advertised? Maybe I'll see you there!

I haven't had any luck with garage sales either. I did manage to find an
airport (6597)and the pneumatic crane truck (8868) through for sale ads in the
paper.

Never heard of him either. Does Murray ever part with his finds? : )Have you
ever tried Kiddywink Toys in Balcatta? Last time I was there (probably 6 months
ago?) they had a nice collection of spare parts in plastic bins. There seemed
to be a good variety, plus there were some complete sets (2nd hand) for sale
also. I'm on holidays next week so I might go and have another look.
Have we all been collecting the Shell promo sets??! I've managed to rope a few
friends into getting a couple whenever they fill up. I was considering the
Petit Miam LEGO offer but you need something like 8 proof of purchases. Not
worth it for a small freestyle set.
I'm thinking of getting a couple of the insectoids sets mainly for the eye
pieces and blue elements. Anyone got one yet? Is the blue the same colour as
normal blue?
Anyway, good to see there are at least 3 of us here!
Later,
Braith.
