So to buy one of each in Australia I'm up for AUD$1,519.40. Methinks I'll be
buying them from the USA.

fiddling with the numbers shows the system sets as being 1.5 to 2 times more
expensive (best 7115, 7134 worst 7104) but the technic sets are consitently
only 1.33 times. There is no way shipping is so expensive as to justify 1.5 to
2 times price increase. oh well bring on the GST it can only get better...

Best brand by 2005 hah! not here...

Hi team, Sorry for the provocative subject header, but you're all here now. This is what I have gleaned from LEGO Australia. Looks like we'll need Kerry Packer's job to afford it all. I've used the current Aussie Peso exchange rate of USD$0.614 AUD (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.starwars)
