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?

Can someone pls tell me what the Aust RRP of 6083 Shogun
Stronghold is (was)?
I don't want to buy it, however I'd swear it was around $25 last week
and this week it is around $42.  It's possible that I looked
at the wrong
shelf tag before, which is why I'm checking.  Wondering if
I've got another
GST infringement on my hands (Coles this time).

Their impulse sets have gone down from $4.29 to $4.15, and
apart from that
I can tell the prices have changed (eg ending in .81 instead
of .95) but
not in which direction, should have paid more attention
before.  If they are
down it's not much.

Apart from the supermarket I still haven't ventured out Lego
shopping, I
certainly hope my initial impressions of the GST being a bad
deal for Lego
aren't going to be reinforced everywhere else too.

(...) 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 (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)
