I'm not sure if one can find many Legos outside of Buenos Aires here in
Argentina, at least old Legos like BSB. As these are expensive here, sometimes
you can find stores with old stuff they have been unable to sell. Last year I
bought Skulls Eye Schooner and Royal Knight's Castle, but each cost well above
$200 (1 Argentine $ = 1 US dollar). I also got all of the Islander sets and
Renegade Runner. But recently I have seen only some BSBs here and there, Fort
Legoredos, Red Beard Runners, Enchanted Islands, and other Royal Knights,
Exploriens and Wild West sets. Also, prices vary dramatically form one store
to another: Fort Legoredo costs $99 in some stores and $190 in others!
Regards to all!
