After verification [looking at a catalogue to see the set pictures] the
$20-something Ninja set was 6045.

Well, I was only interested in the one set, so didn't check the others
prices...I may try Saturday morning if no-one else can before-hand.

That's the thing I'm worried about. With them bringing a large range of sets
out next week [the toyworld sale that was everywhere else a couple of months
back] and Layby till christmas and wanting to order the UCS sets [on said
lay-by], I don't really want to end in their bad books. However, I do want
the prices to drop :)
