I Scream Clone Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Looks like the Castle 08 line wont hit Aussie shelves till September. Got an email from Lego Aus Dear Josh, We are launching new sets in Sept. All the other sets are out in stores already. The set 7094 was launched in 2007 and we are not bringing it in in 2008. Our reports from the end of March show that the only stores having stock were Toys R Us with 48 sets left Australia wide. You will need to contact them direct for stock. Sorry I cant be of more help with this one. Regards Jodie Ekstrom Customer Service LEGO Australia Pty Ltd Time to start saving then
Svelte Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 The set 7094 was launched in 2007 and we are not bringing it in in 2008. Then I wish the new sets released in 08 (impulse sets, Battle Wheel etc) wouldn't have the pic of 7094 along with the other new sets in the instruction manual! In other news, Target Australia is having a 20% off Lego from this Thursday. They usually have a kid's sale just after Mother's Day - presumably Mum is all buttered up by then to buy toys

Christian Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 I just want to point out that the new Coast Guard sets, Batman sets and Mars Mission sets are available at S@H now!
legomilk Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 new racers sets are available at S@H now! http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Leaf.aspx?cn=33&d=261
Svelte Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Btw is this going to be one of those Really Big toysales that target have every year??? Not yet. Usually June or July. Big W has already started pre-advertising for theirs but no details yet.
I Scream Clone Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Not yet. Usually June or July. Big W has already started pre-advertising for theirs but no details yet. Well Big W has to do something to shift all those MTT's they have left Target doesnt have much im after at the mo, but thanks for the heads up Svelte!
hollisbrick Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Not yet. Usually June or July. Big W has already started pre-advertising for theirs but no details yet. I'm guessing when Big W have their toy sale the new castle sets will come out (only at big w though) thats what happened last year..
Dadster Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I just want to point out that the new Coast Guard sets, Batman sets and Mars Mission sets are available at S@H now! Hmmm - Couldn't find it. Have a link?
Christian Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Hmmm - Couldn't find it. Have a link? Sure. Here it is: Coast Guard, Batman and Mars Mission. BTW the sets are not yet available in the USA
Svelte Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I'm guessing when Big W have their toy sale the new castle sets will come out (only at big w though) thats what happened last year.. True. Fingers crossed! You're right, it was weird last year, the catalogues said Castle stuff was coming out in August or September and then Big W had everything in July.
Dadster Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) Sure. Here it is: Coast Guard, Batman and Mars Mission.BTW the sets are not yet available in the USA Ah - that's why the only stuff that show up are the keychains in regards to the Bats sets. BTW - I saw the Tumbler/ Joker Ice Cream truck set and the Mr Freeze/ Bats mini-car in a local Wal-Mart yesterday. I didn't have enough cash and I didn't think to just check to see if they were available for sale... Edited May 14, 2008 by Dadster
hollisbrick Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 True. Fingers crossed! You're right, it was weird last year, the catalogues said Castle stuff was coming out in August or September and then Big W had everything in July. Same with the Mars Mission, the Lego Brochure/catalogue said that Mars Mission was out in September but it was at K-mart in July only! Crossed fingers ON!

Svelte Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Sorry if this is old news but i found the new [?] Bricks/Windows/Roof Pieces sets at Mr.Toys Toyworld [i didnt check the price probable wouldve been more expensive anyway then other shops ]Sorry if they have been out for awhile Good spotting! I don't think anyone has reported on them yet. Anyone Aussies have news of what's on sale in the David Jones/ Myer stocktake sales which started last night?
Oky Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Right now, the Lego Retail Store in Downtown Disney has all Exo Force sets for 25% less and all Aqua Raiders for 50% less! This is probably only for a short time, so get them while you can!
Stash2Sixx Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 25% off on both Aqua-Raiders and Exo-Force. Only 25% off. I called to confirm.
Hewman Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Anyone Aussies have news of what's on sale in the David Jones/ Myer stocktake sales which started last night? Although the sale has started, the online catlogue (for Myer, don't know about DJ's) isn't available yet. But in other Australian news, K-mart has another 15% off sale starting tomorrow.
Svelte Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I checked Myer and DJs for sales at lunch and no dice. However, I did notice the new Batman sets for sale at David Jones 7884 - Batman's Buggy Mr Freeze - $17.99 7885 - Penguin Sub - $34.99 7886 - The Batcycle: Harley Quinn's Hammer Truck - $49.99 No sign of the Tumbler so far.
Darth_Legois Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Good spotting! I don't think anyone has reported on them yet. Realy? wow usualy im late with stuff hmmm i only posted it because i havent seen any posts with people saying they found them.....next time i go will check the price. Ps: 3 weeks ago i found a EF sentry at BigW was $6.84 i was like WOW almost fainted.
Dfenz Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I'll add another Indie sale to the mix. Smyths stores in Ireland have a buy one, get the second half price sale. For some strange reason I was told that this applies to the latest crystal skull sets only and not the first four. David
