Hey guys, I've just looked through 5 pages of this sub-forum and couldn't find anything with a heading akin to this but if one already exists, please feel free to merge this with it.


I've had lego as a kid and loved the creative building aspect of it, though I favoured action figures and hence my interest waned.
I was recently going through Big W's 2011 Mid-Year Toy Sale catalogue however and came across these:


As a noted Ancient Egypt fan, I squealed with delight at the sight of these sets but then I also shrieked with horror at their prices!

So I have a couple of questions:

1. Why was I not informed of this? , kidding - Are these sets indeed exclusive to Big W and are they available at any online retailers?
2. Are these prices what one would consider acceptable to a Lego Collector?
3. Is this the only Egyptian themed set Lego has produced? - If not, what other sets have been released?

Any info would be greatly appreciated as would pics and links.
