Title: Happy me!
Post by: Lindama on November 22, 2010, 14:32:46
A friend in the US very kindly agreed to bid on this and ship it over to Australia. I am very excited. Now I need to furnish it!

I was a little worried that there were only stock photos, but the seller has excellent feedback, so I thought it was worth the risk.

It was expensive, but a good price for this I think. I hope it doesn't cost a mint to post on.

That does look to be quite a good buy, actually :)9

I reckon the postage is going to be quite high :-\

Thanks all - I am undecided whether it will be for xmas or birthday in June. I will need time to track down the sets and shall look forward immensely to doing so.  :)

It weighs 20 flipping pounds! I am holding my breath waiting for the postage cost.

Well, shipping to me will be $110 US. Not so bad considering it weighs 18 pounds.

I won my first set, but think I will look at buying second hand things - Sophie wont notice.

You will enjoy that castle.  It can be put together two different ways.  Just be careful you do not misplace any of the pieces not needed for version 2.

I have always heard people in Australia lament the fact it is hard to find and I see a lot of Australian stores charge a lot of money for their sets. 

I did look on Australia's ebay and they have a lot of stuff on there.  I was quite pleasantly surprised.  Prices don't seem too bad either.
