Any idea what set this truck is that appears on the front of the 1986 catalog? https://brickresales.com.au/products/lego-1986-catalogue-2474

I just noticed that Kmart have the 4207 parking garage for $99 (down from $118). Is this a good deal? Doesn't seem like much of a discount to me? -
Those stickers look weird. Here in Australia, most ambulances have a sort of red cross on them. I've never seen blue on an ambulance.

I was at Target the other day and one of the guys working at the store was loading up a cart with Lego police station sets and wheeled them off somewhere. Any idea what he might have been doing? Old stock? Where will they go? -
Why would that be the case? Big W have nothing to do with Wal Mart... completely different companies.

Well, I went to K-Mart over the weekend, and the 2012 sets are finally in stock!! They had the ambulance, garbage truck, car and caravan, and off-road jeep, as well as the new forest police station, and police helicopter. I was only interested in the first 3, but they seem quite expensive - $29 each. I also noticed that the new sets seem to come in much smaller/thinner boxes.

There is one in the City Fire Station (7208).

I never knew Costco sold Lego. Do they have any City sets? -
My guess is that the farm sets will all go. I never see them in stores - do they even sell? The RV will also probably go as it was introduced back in '09 and the car and camper will make it pretty much redundant. I don't see them discontinuing 7288 though, as it was only introduced this year?

I miss the old Myer jingle. At Myer... At Myer... At Myer... Where else? I once went up to Sydney and they had the same exact tune, but with "Grace Brothers" instead and it just sounded wrong. -
Anyone know what current sets are likely to be retired to make way for the 2012 sets? And what are the prices likely to be in Australia? US$19.99 = AU$29.99 ?

This guy is complaining that the vehicles lack doors, yet ignores the fact that police don't use cargo choppers in real life? Imagine if every police force owned a $100 million + chopper? If they ever needed one (and I can't think why) they would just charter one.

Nvm.

You know what I think I'm just going to keep it, and re-sell the individual contents separately. For example, I'll sell the bus on it's own, the stores separately, etc. I may even get more for the total sum of the individual parts, than for the set as a whole (fingers crossed). If anything, I'll at least get my money back, and it's probably easier than shipping it back to Amazon as that would cost over $40. Thing is, I already printed out an RA, etc. from Amazon, I'm guessing if I just keep the sets it'll all be sweet?
