Big W is getting as an exclusive the Lego City Tractor and Pig Farm in April ! The word came direct from Lego Australia this morning ! I'm a conformist! everyone !
booga-b Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 went into kmart and noticed that they jacked the price of the Apple Tree house up from $65 to $75.
Axel Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Just a heads up, Kmart has a toy sale on from the 11th to the 17th. Star Wars Battlepacks are $16, and the Atlantis sets have also been reduced in price (seen in catalogue).

lightningtiger Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Yeah, Kmart give with one hand and take with the other ! Most of the city stuff have gone up in price from 75cents on the lighting truck, 4 bucks on the tanker and 10 bucks on the airport. Weird things are happening at Kmart - they are quiting D-I-Y and TV's - whats next ? Hopefully not toys !!! I'm a conformist! everyone !

Star Wars Battlepacks are $16, and the Atlantis sets have also been reduced in price (seen in catalogue). Thanks for that info. Although I'm currently on a very restricted Lego budget I couldn't resist the shark and diver Atlantis set for $10. The figs are fantastic with a lot of details, I'm not as excited about the little ship, but can't complain for $10. There were plenty of SW battlepacks at Firle (SA) last night, they seemed to be mixed together rather than being separated into the snowies and rebels.

Star Wars Battlepacks are $16, and the Atlantis sets have also been reduced in price (seen in catalogue). Thanks to this sale, both the Guardian of the Deep and the Seabed Scavenger are $10 off making them a very tempting $15 each!
Clone-Trooper Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Thanks to this sale, both the Guardian of the Deep and the Seabed Scavenger are $10 off making them a very tempting $15 each! What about the rest of the Atlantis sets? Are they also on special? Has anyone seen the prices? Cheers,
lightningtiger Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) What about the rest of the Atlantis sets?Are they also on special? Has anyone seen the prices? Cheers, Nope, nothing else reduced - but I'll get in before they knock up the prices again ! Edited March 12, 2010 by lightningtiger
lightningtiger Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Just found out that BTTW has the Grand Emporium for $ 299 which makes it cheaper even with freight than getting it from Lego S@H. I don't think this has been reported yet. I'm a conformist! !
MinifigHQ Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Just found out that BTTW has the Grand Emporium for $ 299 which makes it cheaper even with freight than getting it from Lego S@H. I don't think this has been reported yet.I'm a conformist! ! Actually if you were to buy this from Shop at Home it would be $249.99 plus $40 for shipping, so that would be a total cost of $289.99.
Patty Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Actually if you were to buy this from Shop at Home it would be $249.99 plus $40 for shipping, so that would be a total cost of $289.99. Well it looks like the Grand Emporium hasn't hit eBay.com.au yet.

I don't think this has been reported yet.I'm a conformist! ! Sorry to correct but my recent order was; 10211 Grand Emporium $249.99 Minifigure Cookie Cutters $2.50 10199 Winter Toy Shop $109.99 Postage $45 Total $407.48 So no, it's not cheaper.
chibi_joker Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Lego prices have indeed gone up at Kmart in VIC. I went to buy the Apple Tree House today and it scanned at $74! Lucky that they did not change the shelf price tag so they let me buy it for $65

Ah, but I was working on $100 freight charge......I learn't the hard way with my mega S@H order a year ago - all but one item somehow disappear in Australia and Lego had to resend the order (it had Town Plan and one M.Village in it). But you ordered more than one thing - of course it would work out cheaper in that respect, but yet again BTTW do deliver in under 4 days or less depending what you pay for freight. Anyway might as well wait and place one on lay-by at DJ's in November then. I'm a conformist! everyone !
YG-49 Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 My LEGO Club Magazine arrived yesterday. Justone difference from the usual: It was in 3D!(Yes, it was not the new-style glasses, plain old blue and red.) Only the Atlantis bits were though. The comic was Atlantis, however. I've now lost the Availability sheet, but I can remember the Republic Swamp Feeder (Not a typo. ) and Atlantis Snapping Turtle were TRU exclusives.
jonwil Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 FYI, the new technic pneumatic log loader and the new technic buggy are now available in David Jones and Target (if not elsewhere). The log loader was ~$100 in both stores and the buggy was somewhere near $50 Those prices dont bode well for the motorized excavator and mobile crane due out later in the year (both of which have more than double the amount of parts in the log loader and one of which has a fairly large amount of Power Functions parts)
Strand Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Still any news on Luke's Landspeeder or Swamp Speeder? I heard a few TRUs had Swamp Speeders, but I haven't seen any around (is it a TRU exclusive?) I'm still waiting patiently for a retail release of Tantive IV, I missed the Star Wars.com sale and reallllyyy don't want to go back to Stinge@Home

That was a month ago ! Anyway, ....I'm a conformist! ! Edited March 16, 2010 by lightningtiger
d00dz Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Absolutely 100% reliable - it can be a pain waiting for the retailers to get them in. The Grand Emporium comes out in November in David Jones - I couldnt wait and ordered three from S@H (they arrive tomorrow).Good luck! Know when exactly in March? Ive been checking every week so far and nothing at DJ's. Do you know the price it will be? If it's RRP, prolly cheaper to import one from S@H US. Thanks!

G'day 'd00dz' are you talking about the Fire Brigade at DJ's - I believe Lego told me a week or two ago that they are might to have those right now - I would ask if was you - I'm a conformist! !
jonwil Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 No sign of the Fire Brigade at David Jones in Perth as of Tuesday.
