G'Day
Finally made the Bi-annual trek to St Jacobs.
Of interest I noted a new (to me anyway) StarWars EP1 combo pack, a GUNGAN
sub(7161) and Naboo Swamp(7121) packaged together, on sale for $43.99, which
is not bad seeing as the sub was $69.99 originally and I have only seen a
$50.00 sale price before at Zeller's and WAL-MART.
Also a combo pack of RockRaiders Tunnel Transport and River Expedition
(5976+4980) for $69.00, not quite as good as Wal-Mart's sale of $24.99 in
the summer, but not to bad.

Cheers

Play Well.

Were there any older System sets in that warehouse (eg. Pirates, Royal • Knights,
Cowboys, Pre-Jr. Town...)?

There is another such Lego Store in the Cookstown Outlet Mall, at hwy 400 • and
89.  I do not know if any of the service kits are available there.
