I Scream Clone Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 i dont think 7094 is sale in australia It was according to Lego Australia, when I contacted them they only had record of 50 unsold ones left at TRU in the whole of Aus. Just never saw any in my area. It may go on sale in Jan on S@H so i may snap one up anyway. Also Target has stated that their big Toy Sale begins Nov 13th so keep an eye out for Catalogues. I noticed Myer has 20% some sets. TRU is also flogging some SW sets 20% off, they also have Peril in Peru for $100

Whittleberry Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 The Myer catalogue is online, and the sale is until the 23rd of November. Up to 40% off some sets, like the Ring of Fire and Golden Anniversary Set. Otherwise it's upward of 20% off. Wow, this is strange....first the plummeting value of the AUD means that we're almost on price parity with the US, and now good old Myer is throwing huge savings at us! I picked a Temple Escape set there for 25% off about a month ago... Now let's just hope that DJs has a sale, I want to get my mitts on a Green Grocer...

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.

Captain Zuloo Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Since when does DJ have a true lego sale. Never seen a % off sale for lego at DJ but I still remember picking up my UCS Star Destroyer on special... If any one knows roughly when sales happen please give heads up. You mean you actually purchase LEGO from there? Waaaaaaaay to expensive. I saw the crappy 2008 passenger train for $50 more than everywhere else. Biggest rip off ever.
Whittleberry Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 DJ's isn't completely crap, I got a Cafe Corner there for $180 there earlier this year. But they are very stingy...

A cafe corner for $180? Well done. That certainly is a first. I have never bought LEGO there. In Canberra and Adelaide at least, it is too expensive. In Adelaide at least they have Toy Corner though.
Matthieu Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 David Jones has the new blue Volkswagon set. (10187) Looks very nice but at $200 i don't wanna pay the $50 premium on top of shop at home prices..
natelite Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 david jones has the cafe corner and green grocer for $199. they said was cheaper by $50 because after sale they would go for $249.
Maverick Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Hey all Kmart has voucher for v19 $60 with voucher! print off voucher from the kmart website unfortunately only last till this sun 8th though! Plenty in the 24hr kmart at burwood
natelite Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 magna guard is also on sale for $50. very good prices...$50 from $80 msrp and $60 from $100 for v19. close to 40% off. lots of them left on the shelves. i think not many ppl know about the online sale. or perhaps no one is interested in those sets? just waiting now for RGS to go for 30% or more! i can dream can't i?
Darth_Legois Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 Hey all Kmart has voucher for v19 $60 with voucher! print off voucher from the kmart website unfortunately only last till this sun 8th though! Where? I cant find it... Does it end today?

Yes, I reported this about a week ago in the previous page of this thread. david jones has the cafe corner and green grocer for $199. they said was cheaper by $50 because after sale they would go for $249. I reported this too in the previous page of the thread. The $200 price is only if you sign up for David Jones's weird credit/reward card though. I think I'd rather wait for their next sale.
bjboyle Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) I noticed this weekend that 7979 Castle Advent Calendar is already sold out (Australian Lego S@H). I hoped that it might have lasted a bit longer. The city calendar is still available. Oh well there is always Bricklink. Bryan Edited November 9, 2008 by bjboyle
natelite Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Where? I cant find it... Does it end today? it ended 6pm sunday, 9th nov. on the website, click on the special online offer picture at the bottom right corner. it's a pity you missed it since there's lots of magna guard and v19 sets on the shelves. those were the only two sets on sale though...but oh boy what a sale! 38% and 40% off MRSP.

Daaammnniitt!!!! And I had $40 in vouchers...I couldve gotten it for $20!!!!!!
natelite Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Daaammnniitt!!!! And I had $40 in vouchers...I couldve gotten it for $20!!!!!! how did you get them vouchers? were they free?
I Scream Clone Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 david jones has the cafe corner and green grocer for $199. they said was cheaper by $50 because after sale they would go for $249. Checked today and they are both 199 till sold out or christmas eve. Man it was hard to walk past the green grocer, though if I want 10193 I have to be strong : (
robbo Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 How often does Kmart have vouchers like this?.....this is the first time i have heard of it. An incredible saving for those lucky ones who found it, i will have to check the Kmart site more often.
natelite Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 there's an easier way. just check lasoo.com.au. search by keyword lego to find all lego on sale. for eg, the target toy sale will have all lego sets at 20% off. not super but hey 20% off is still 20% more money in your pocket.

Because at the two DJs I have visited recently, the Cafe Corner and Green Grocer are only 200 dollars if you sign up for their credit card thing. Which David Jones did you see this at?

Wollongong NSW, its even in the catalogue. Check fine print, seems fine to me, only mentions introductory offer.
