I was just about to write a post about the Argos catalogue, mentioning
blockmen, but you obviously beat me to it.

There is actually only one lego "set" (excluding freestyle/basic)- all the
rest is technic. Maybe people are more inclined to buy only the larger sets
from argos, as they may prefer to buy smaller lego sets from somewhere that
they can actually see the boxes. Also, Argos' lower prices are lower on
larger/more expensize items. (If you get my meaning)

One thing- do they really mean that the power puller needs 4 AA bateries? I
have 2 of those battery boxes, and unless my primary school teacher couldn't
count, I would swear mine take 6.
