They also have a Kombi which has been going for a few years. Maybe I could start a classic collection for the shelf :)

Yeah, can do that, the point I was trying to make is that it's not a $10 lego kit. $150 may surprise some people. I'm not saying it's not worth it either with over 1000 pieces.

Actually, just checked your web link to lego. The model is $149.99 which incurs $35- postage within Australia. So that makes it $184.99 unless I am mistaken.

My shopping cart comes up with free delivery to my address for the combi? You can add a single lego brick for 10c from the pick a brick to put it over the $150 for free delivery when it comes time to buy the mini :D

Given that the picnic basket comes with cheese, bread and wine maybe add a apple (element id 4107050) for a whopping 40c :D

I've got the Kombi already, and I've got this on the list...

It's a shame they couldn't loose 6 pieces and make a 1071 Cooper!
