d00dz Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Just came back from Kmart, They must've gotten new stock over the two days since my last visit! Now they have the Smart Car, and the set with the helicopter and LIMOUSINE! It was $42. Wow no way!? Go buy it! http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=3222-1 Doesnt even have details of prices!
Svelte Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Looks like K-Mart will be cutthroat competitive with pricing this year too That is exciting about the limo set I hope it reaches Sydney soon...
lightningtiger Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I'm placing a call tomorrow and I'll try and find out what I can about other states/retail chains receiving their Feburary stock. I'm a conformist! !
Svelte Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I popped into my local K-Mart this morning (Bondi Junction) and they'd just started unpacking some Duplo and the Lighting Repair Truck - didn't see anything else but it looks like City is hitting NSW now too. Hopefully they will be stocked by the weekend.
lightningtiger Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Just applying stickers and tools, plus thinking of MOD's to do to my NEW 3179 REPAIR TRUCK.....happy, happy, joy, joy ! No limo/copter combo at the two Kmarts (Firle and Ingle Farm) this morning but tanker truck, small car (picked that up as well), jet and sea planes too. Oh, yeah two creator sets and Duplo for the littlies. I'm a conformist! !

d00dz Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 BREAKING NEWS ........BIG W now has 2010 Lego City................included in this is 3222 copter/limo and 3182 airport.......repeat 3182 airport @ $ 128...............I'm a conformist! ! AWESOME! Im soooooo going to Kmart after work. I sound like a little kid! :P
Whup Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Me too! I think I'll get one of those chopper/limo sets. I've got a thing for choppers!
Izzy Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 My Kmart has all those new City sets today too! :D I only picked up the Indy boat chase set for 30 though. The Limo/plane sets are SO awesome. I was holding the (so cute ) smart car for about 15 minutes in the store but then Amelie convinced me not to get it. Hahaha. I REALLY should stop spending.
lightningtiger Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Yep, picked up 3222 from Big W, plus another two 3179 and one 3180 truck from Kmart as they were the cheapest. Starting work on the limo right now.
d00dz Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I got these from my local Kmart today! Oh all most forgot: Gonna build the plane now.
lightningtiger Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) I got these from my local Kmart today!*images removed* Hey 'd00dz' how much was the airport at Kmart - cheaper than $128 (BigW) ? You'll like the copter - builds nice ! I'm a conformist! ! Edited January 28, 2010 by Svelte Don't quote images, esp. from the post immediately above
d00dz Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Hey 'd00dz' how much was the airport at Kmart - cheaper than $128 (BigW) ?You'll like the copter - builds nice ! I'm a conformist! ! Yea it had the 'special' tag on for $114. :)
lightningtiger Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Yea it had the 'special' tag on for $114. :) Ouch that's 14 bucks cheaper than BigW and cheaper than the last airport I think ! How's 3181 comming along ? I also built the tanker tonight too - going to make up and put Woolworths Petrol Plus signage on that one. Can't wait to read your review of 3181, I am thinking of get it and maybe even the airport too.
d00dz Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I posted pictures and comments. Looking at the airport right now and OMG it looks sooooooo BIG and would definitely be awesome! Will build it tomorrow.
Svelte Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I wasn't planning on picking up the Airport, but $114 is a price that's hard to beat for a new release that doesn't seem available anywhere else yet (I'm sure someone will have it at $99 before Easter ). The limo and heli set looks like a great one too.
lightningtiger Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 TRU now has the city range, but only go there if you have no other choice. Why you may ask ? Try the 3182 airport for $149.00 !!!!! WTF ?!?! Even BigW at $128 is better than that ! I'm a conformist! !
jonwil Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Good to hear the news on the City sets, now I just have to decide which ones to buy (winning the new airport in the Brickvention 2010 raffle helps with that decision though :) Anyone know of release dates for the LEGO board games? Or of the new creator (the house and the 2 small sets)? Or any of the impulses (city or otherwise)?
Svelte Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Anyone know of release dates for the LEGO board games? Or of the new creator (the house and the 2 small sets)? Or any of the impulses (city or otherwise)? The Creator sets were all available at K-Mart, $14 for the small ones and $65 for the Apple Tree House (as posted on a previous page). I saw the car too but didn't check the price.
lightningtiger Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Toyworlds and Targets have not got any city stocks yet, only BigW & TRU stores in South Australia have 3182 airport ! I'm a conformist! !
jonwil Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 K-Mart has stocks of all city sets including the airport as well as the creator sets (house, helicoptor, small sets, car too I think). Seems (from the prices I have seen) that K-Mart and Big W are the places to go for LEGO. Best bet is to find somewhere local that has both and buy whatever you want from whoever has it the cheapest.
d00dz Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 None of the Fire sets yet. Suprising as it's avaliable on the S@H site. Any technic sets? I didnt see any. :(
lightningtiger Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 None of the Fire sets yet. Suprising as it's avaliable on the S@H site. Any technic sets? I didnt see any. :( The fire sets will be second half release this year - that came straight from Lego Australia themselves. I'm a conformist! !
TheDarkness Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 If anyone has any spare Clone Wars clones floating around, pm me. I need to boost my collection up a bit. I have a few different minfigs and even sets for trade depending on how many you have
marvinblue Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Got 3179 and 3180 from my local K-Mart yesterday. For those of you that haven't seen inside the boxes yet, my reviews of both should be up and running tomorrow at ANZFOL (see link in sig).
