hi all well, i heard they were coming, I saw the pics on the net, heard the comments and then I finally saw them for myself. Yes, I bought them. As much as I dislike The Rodent, I felt, as a Fabuland collector, it was very necessary to buy these (...) (24 years ago, 27-Aug-00, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.fabuland)

OK, since no-one else has posted thus far, these are my four possible choices, in order - note that I'm not going to spam the newsgroup with three possible choices in three individual posts, I'll just pick 1, 2, 3, 4, and some commentaries on the (...)

Welcome Carl, and thanks for de-lurking! We hope to hear from you regularly ;-) You're posting to virtually all of the Australian newsgroups. Did you enter all of their names manually???

Hi Tim, Yes, I think its a pretty good idea to offer info on good deals going in Brisbane. I'd contribute myself, if I had access, so instead I'll post this to org.au also. The Toyworld that James mentioned also has a good stock of the basic brick (...) (24 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.org.au)

Hi Carl, The last time I saw 2772 was in 1996 in a Mr Toys Toyworld. It was one of the few sets I didn't buy for my kids as I thought it was highly over priced at about $45. There weren't many of this set on offer mainly probably because of the (...) (24 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.org.au)

Okay...Follow-up Question: Which range(s) with minifigs (I'm not counting stiffs here] prior to 1996 had been running the longest continual time in Australia. [eg, the time from when a range was released to when it stopped...mini-figs were released (...) (24 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)

One more thing, if there's a catch in the question, could you please rephrase it? The follow-up question in itself is rather badly worded, for instance if you are *actually* talking about a discontinued line that's no longer available, it's (...)

Pick one of those I mentioned in my original reply. If those get eliminated - in fact, since you didn't say whether any were correct, I'd say they could all be elimination candidates. <gdr> Cheers ... Geoffrey Hyde Whytcross, Benjamin (...) (24 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)

Ah yes...but maybe there's a little catch in the question...or the answer isn't as straight-forward as you think :) Note: I said i'd stay out of the guessing on this, but I'll say this much...I'll be providing scans [or at least a location (...)

Uhh ... Benjamin ... About your follow-up question. It would seem a fairly safe bet that anyone guessing would have to pick *one* of the ranges mentioned below.
