Hi folks,

The local K-Mart has set 4794 - Alpha Team Command Patrol on sale for AU$35
(approx US$21). I've had half an eye on this set for some time now, and at
this price it is very tempting, but I'm still in two minds. Can anyone who
has this set tell me if it's worth it at this price?

Thanks,

Here's an interesting tale.

Shortly after posting this K-Mart dropped the price of this set to AU$28. 'Sold'
I thought, and went to pick one up only to find stocks had vanished. 'Bummer' I
thought, and let it go.

Fast forward to last Saturday, I was in K-Mart browsing the Lego shelves and
spotted one sitting there all by itself, with no indication of price anywhere. I
tracked down a price scanner, and was so stunned to see the price appear at $4
that I rescanned it a few times.

The checkout chick took my four dollars withoug batting an eyelid.

Sometimes patience is rewarded.
