My local Toyworld doesn't run the national catalogues etc. either and their
prices are ridiculous. The Toyworld in Gladstone,QLD (about 1.5 hours drive
away) does, but it is a long way to go.. One day i must check it out though.

The really funny thing about this is that this set has always been • extremely
rare in Tas and it gets always gets snaffled day 1 at full price ($208)...
and yet suddenly LA can make available heaps of them at a greatly reduced • price!

The Toyworld catalogue* started yesterday.  There were at least 20 of the
King Leo's castle (price unmarked) stacked just inside the door of • Toyworld
Hobart yesterday at opening.  They were selling very fast (as was all • sorts
of non Lego stuff), the store was absolutely packed and the register • queues
were 25 minutes long.  I have never ever seen that store like that before,
not even close to it.  But I digress.

If Hobart, (or where-ever you are) has sold out and you have a credit • card,
try ringing Devonport Toyworld, they'll put it on the Redline bus service
for you for about $5 (in Tasmania only, obviously). Their Lego stock is
slower to move than elsewhere.

*Launceston Toyworld generally doesn't run the catalogue for some bizarre
reason, though I cannot be sure that this applies to this specific sale.
