The Mr Toys/Toyworld website, which has often been useful in determining Australian release dates, has 15 May down for the release of the LEGO® Cars theme (also known as the LEGO® Cars 2 theme due to the upcoming movie), as well as the Australian retail prices.

Numerous readers have reported sightings of the new Harry Potter sets at Target and Toys R Us stores in Victoria and Queensland. I’m going to pop in tomorrow and see if they’ve hit Sydney yet.

The LEGO Shop now has 10213 Shuttle Adventure available for purchase for $159.99. As announced earlier, there is a limit of 5 per customer. It’s a great set, but once again the postage charges from S@H are putting me off – $35 postage for one Shuttle. Even the current free Spaceman magnet offer can’t sweeten [...]
