Well, I got one of the soccer busses there for $17.50, which is by far the
best price I've seen them for so far. [Actually, all the soccer sets there
had good prices.] I will agree though that most of the other sets were
overpriced.

Well, I don't know about their hours, being from the other side of town, but
I know that the shop is a reasonably good one [except for prices.]
Actually...If LA are subsidising the soccer sets, then they must have been
making a very large profit over the years on other sets to be able to do
this. If they aren't subsidising, then all the sets are extremely
over-priced here...Either way we're being over-charged.
