Wow - good price, I had to pay full price for mine a couple of years ago
at $271.95 (ouch), but it's a great set. It's good to see more adults
enthused about Duplo trains, most AFOLS refer to them in context with their
kids, sure my son plays with my trains but they're still "Mummy's trains" :)

I'm also under the impression that the older sets are better than the new but
I haven't actually seen any of the new sets yet, just pictures. The new
sets do appear to be slightly cheaper though, I think the RRP for 2933 is
$250, the 2745 price didn't drop much at all with the GST.

Not recently, despite them appearing in the first 2000 catalog they weren't
restocked anywhere that I saw. If LA actually had any leftovers to clear
before the new range arrived I don't know where they were distributed to :(
I think Rachel collects them too, seen any around Rachel?

| (...) I'm much more interested in track layout rather than engine/wagon modelling, and Duplo seems to me to be better for this.
