Sorry, but I believe it is around $40-something.

I've also got a new offender...the local toy-world. the soccer shoot and
score [portable kit] went from $11.99 to $11.90 [a less than 1% price drop]
Unfortunately, being in their good-books there, I don't want to report them,
so if anyone will be coming through [Warren/Paul?], could they check and
report them to the ACCC [Craigieburn toyworld...Sunbury should be the same,
too.] so that they get checked [hopefully].

Does anyone else have a complaint about their local toy-shop not decreasing
the price, and not wishing to inform as they don't want to get in the toy
shops bad books, or am I the only one?

(...) Phew! I was envisioning leaving a trail of ACCC destruction behind me everywhere I went, not a pleasant thought, I've got enough to worry about already! (...) Were there sets in any other theme showing similar problems at that store? Is it (...) (26 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)
