Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but Kmart now has the latest 2 Indiana Jones sets 7682 Shanghai Chase and 7683 Fight on the Flying Wing. Kmart's impulse sets were boosted as well with a whole pile of them being put out on the shelves, There must have been at least 40 of the Troll Impulse on the shelf today.

Hi All, our Kmart has received a few sets this week they are: 8018 AAT. 8019 Republic Attack Shuttle 7633 Construction Site 8401 Minifigure collection Interestingly the Republic Attack Shuttle was $94 and the Construction Site was $134.

Yeah I am lucky to have her, She is currently collecting the Castle Theme. And no arguments yet

The Lego rep my wife spoke with last year advised that the Postage would be refunded ($100) and within 2 days it was That is great customer service if you ask me as she didn't ask for a refund on the postage we just wanted to know where the Lego was. The Myer rewards is different now to the Fly Buys program it use to have when it was part of ColesMyer and apparently the rewards are easier to earn but we just don't spend as much at Myer as we used to. We're currently trying the Woolworths Easymoney Credit Card to see what type of rewards we will get from them. Only one rule with it though, it's paid of every month in full to avoid paying any interest.

Hi All, The wait is over Our local Target has been stocked with 2009 sets. Here's what they had; 7630 Front-End Loader 7631 Dump Truck 7632 Crawler Crane 7633 Construction Site 8401 Minifigure collection Star Wars 8014 Clone Battle Pack 8015 Assassin Droids 8016 Hyena Droid Bomber 8017 Darth Vader's Tie Fighter 8018 AAT. 8019 Republic Attack Shuttle also had the following Building sets 6191 Fire Fighter Building set 6192 Pirate Building set 6193 Castle Building set. Happy Hunting!

No Problems, yeah we had the same discount card but my wife saw the light and left the boys club they call Coles. No reason to change the name Myer after the split as it was the Myer stores that were sold off and that would have included the name as well.

That would explain it, we spent over $800, mainly because my wife wanted 2 medieval villages. Last year we waited 11 working days for our order to arrive from shop at home after paying for express mail... Here is the funny thing though, it was in Perth 4 days after placing the order. Courier Australia was supposed to deliver on the 5th Day but had no room in there van So it was put to the side until a van was made available. That's right they required a dedicated van.(Its a 45 Minute round trip from their depot to our place). I've given up on the Star Wars sets but my son Is checking every chance he gets after he received a few Clone Wars sets from santa

Peril in Peru. It's definately better value and most definately a better build.

This is quite a broad statement, and to say that ColesMyer "used to be all the above mentioned stores" is not true. I don't recall ColesMyer ever owning Big W or Toys R US? perhaps you are confusing Toys R Us with World 4 Kids(which was owned by ColesMyer), a lot of things happen that people aren't aware of but if you had read my previous post this would have enlightened you. Here is what the Coles Group owns currently http://www.colesgroup.com.au/Home/ Here is what Woolworths owns http://www.woolworthslimited.com.au/phoeni...amp;p=our-brand Myer is its own Business as is David Jones and Toys R Us. Now onto new sets, Our local Toyworld is reporting that they are expecting New sets to arrive next week. The girl at KMart is also expecting them at the same time. Time will tell. Our Boxing Day orders from Shop@Home arrived on Monday which was quite a surprise as we only payed for regular mail and not Express. Anyone else receive there's yet?

Just to clarify a few things on who's aligned with who in Australia. Big W is owned by Woolworths Limited http://www.woolworthslimited.com.au/phoeni...amp;p=our-brand Kmart and Target are part of the Coles Group (owned by Wesfarmers) http://www.colesgroup.com.au/Home/ Myer, David Jones and Toys R Us are all separate businesses also, who are not aligned with the 2 companies above or each other, Myer was once owned by the ColesMyer group but was sold off.

Thanks for the welcome WhiteFang,Guss,legotrainfan,Erdbeereis1 and Calvin. I noticed there's a few aussies here but i'm sure there's a lot more who just view the pages as a guest as I once did. Onto the themes i'm interested in, well there's a few. The obvious one's are my Town and Trains, Im Lucky enough to have a few sets from my childhood, I prefer the older Town sets, but there's no denying that the Newer sets like Cafe Corner, Market St and the Green Grocer have made the town's come to life. My Favourite set in the city would have to be my Airport Monorail (6399) and in the Trains it would be the Blue Hopper(4536). Then it would be Star Wars Lego which reignited my Lego collecting days, unfortunately I have found The Star Wars Lego to be a little repetitive with the re-release of certain sets which just didn't make it as enjoyable to collect anymore, so I only buy the odd Star Wars Lego now. My favourite Star Wars set would be the At-At Walker (4483) And then we've got Spongebob to mix things up a little, And my Wife is collecting the current Castle theme. cheers Lego_in_Oz

Thanks for the welcome.

Hi Everyone, just recently signed up and thought i'd say g'day. I've been collecting lego for some years now. Married with a few kids and live in Perth, Australia. Anyway I hope to enjoy my time here. cheers Lego_in_Oz

Myer and Target back in 2002/2003 had 50% off sales on Lego, we managed to get some good sets back then, unfortunately the sales haven't been as good since. kaka1987 set 7094 has been and gone at K-Mart as well.

Spotted the Troll Warrior, Impulse set (5618)at Target last night..
