Well, K-Mart in Australia, just like Target in Australia, has no links to the US stores beyond the name so they probably don't work the same way. Australia doesn't have a strong toy store brand IMHO. ToyWorld used to be good, but they don't seem to try that hard anymore, and Toys R Us haven't got enough stores, although they are growing. They still do get the occasional exclusive though which I find annoying as there are no stores in my state.

I saw a few of these in a K-Mart in Australia last week while I was drooling over the MTT. They were on sale (half price) so perhaps that answers your question. On the other hand, all they had there was the tent and the totem, no figures, so it is possilble that the others sold out. (Or K-Mart could have been stupid and just ordered the tent and totem.)

I at last bought a set (two actually 7093 and 7090) with the new skeleton and I agree. The angle that the arms are at makes me keep wanting to straighten the arms, even though I can't. Even so, I don't hate the new ones, I just prefer the old.

Australians call them "Mobile Phones" too.

Much better picture, but my religion prohibits me from commenting on the figure.

I use mine as an organiser first, a phone second. I hate using phones, and seven years in the Navy didn't change my mind! However, I love organisers and have been using one since my IQ-7200 from the 80s. (I still have it too!) Thus I chose an organiser that happens to be a phone as well. (That is the Treo 600 I mentioned earlier.) Its ability to browse the web and recieve EMail is useful if I am away for a few days, but I prefer not to as the network charges are excessive. It can also be used to read books (painfully), play movies and I use it as an MP3 player occasionally. The camera is useful if I want to record the price of a Lego set, but not for much else. Like all phone cameras the lens is way too small. I find it incredible that it, even though it is about three years old now, has the same speed CPU, same on board memory and same external storage as my Pentium from ten years ago. Wow. (I'm such a geek.) I'll get back in my box now.

Tempting, and I almost set up an eBay account for it... and then I noticed that it ships to Canada and USA only. Thanks very much anyway.

Probably not, but I hope that; 1. I can find one cheap in a second hand store 2. Lego brings out a bigger and better one as part of the new Indy range. I am dreaming, I know!

Treo 600

Welcome to Eurobricks. Burn baby, burn!

Errr.... where is she?

Yeah, but at that price they aren't going to sell in a hurry!

Root beer? What's that? Never heard of it.

Oh, you have that Zepplin. I would love one of those! Good idea. What did you do with the nose and tail piece though? Thats the one that has got me...

But Mummy said Tommy can stay up till 7. >:-) It's not fair. >:-( >:-( >:-(

But it's only 5pm! 8-

Hey! That's not true. >:-( I hate >:-) >:-) FireFox >:-) >:-) . I used to use it but I found it too unstable and I have been using *wub* *wub* Opera *wub* *wub* for about 2 years now. However, it is possible that I did post that after she had already changed it as; 1. I wrote that post while I was burning a DVD so I wrote it S L O W. 2. It was only ten minutes after she posted her message. 3. I have on my network a cache to speed up web access and sometimes it can be a bit S L O W to realise an image or page has changed. (How off topic can this thread get?) Mr Sinner confirms that the Avatar has changed to the new one.

I hope you plan on changing her back. As much as I would love to be a Mini-fig, after a while the in-ability to scratch my... face would become annoying. :-P (I love it! *wub* I hope she uses it.)

Yes, I have seen that and it looks great, but my layout is too small to accept an 8-wide train.

I think if you said "I love M$g%Bl@ks" that would be swearing. I have considered buying from them, but as Starwars4J says, they are not exactly cheap. I would love the Alien machine gun though.

That looks great. I have been considering doing the same thing as the nose and tail of that plane are so hard to re-use elsewhere....

Haven't you ever heard the saying "Never Judge A EB Member By His Post Numbers"?

For those interested there is a higher res version on their site. I downloaded it last week. I showed it to my kids and they were stunned. My son was a bit confused at the end when he left it on the footpath (sidewalk).
