lightningtiger Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 I saw a whole bag of these - Lego suitcases - they are so small !!!! I have to go to the new Gepps Cross TRU store to see if they the swamp speeder in stock or not. I'm a conformist! !
lightningtiger Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Well I finally got my hands on a swamp speeder and Barriss Offee is a cool figure , but I got the freebie alright ! It's a small kids travel pack of activity pad and crayons - big deal ! Interesting piece of information - 7848 TRU truck is being released July/August - confirmed by both Lego and TRU in Sydney. I'm a conformist! !!!!
Strand Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 My TRU didn't have Swamp Speeders but I did take a look at the "Lego Case". It's pretty much a little cardboard box with a few crayons and a pad of colouring paper. I thought it was like plastic folder or something, but it's pretty much like a little freebie airlines give to children (do they still do that these days?)
GI blockage Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Grand Emporium back is up on the S@H website for us Aussies. phew. expected release 26 march. Question: has 10197 Fire Brigade always been on the 'hard to find' list? i thought it used to be an 'exclusive', i'm wondering if this means we'll see it in shops soon...

I can confirm that Fire Brigade will be coming exclusively to David Jones in March. Confirmed by TLG a couple of weeks ago. Grand Emporium will be coming in November, again to David Jones exclusively. I want the new fire sets! Cant find em! Argh New Fire Sets will be available as a general release in August to all retailers. Pig Farm / Tractor comes out next month.
Siegfried Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Grand Emporium back is up on the S@H website for us Aussies. phew. expected release 26 march. They're allowing reviews. That's just silly.

That's just silly. i think i read somewhere that they've already popped up in LEGO brand stores in the UK. That said, S@H reviews are indeed silly..

I can tell you now that Toy Corner as of last friday had one 'Fire Frigade' in stock priced under 400 dollars I believe, and the Grand Emporium to DJ's, oops Myer must have screwed up big time - we only have three DJ's here in SA and their toy departments are well......very small. I'll try and double confirm that for you all. Also I thought the pigs/tractor combo set was comming out in April ? I'm a conformist! ! Edited February 20, 2010 by lightningtiger
Svelte Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I can tell you now that Toy Corner as of last friday had one 'Fire Frigade' in stock priced under 400 dollars I believe, and the Grand Emporium to DJ's, oops Myer must have screwed up big time Why would you say that? DJs had both the Cafe Corner and Green Grocer, so it makes obvious sense for them to continue with the Modular Houses. K-mart seems to get the Star Wars Exclusives, Myer the 'monument' sets and other bits and bobs (perhaps the Flagship in June?), and Target Spongebob and the leftovers
lightningtiger Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 In the last 12 months DJ's only got the merry-go-round, Cafe Corner and Green Grocer now go back along time, I got my Grocer from Toy Corner over a year ago. Fair enough they might get the fire house, but Myer are going to miss out on the building called Emporium when they they were known as the Myer Emporium from the late 1800's till only a dozen or so years back ! If I get one, yeah I'm MODing it to MYER as well as more interior too ! I'm a conformist! !
jonwil Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 It wouldn't surprise me if Target gets the Imperial Flagship, they got the MMV last year plus they got the pirate sets first.
lightningtiger Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 It wouldn't surprise me if Target gets the Imperial Flagship, they got the MMV last year plus they got the pirate sets first. I very much doubt it 'jonwil', Target mainly sell their Lego under 200 dollars. Maybe Kmart - but again I doubt it - Myers or David Jones since it's a 16+ set would have a better chance of stocking it. I'm a conformist! !
booga-b Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Target's LEGO section is just too little and overpriced. I really doubt that they'll get the imperial flagship. Kmart's awesome for their competitive price, wish they would stock the modulars.
marvinblue Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I can confirm that Fire Brigade will be coming exclusively to David Jones in March. Confirmed by TLG a couple of weeks ago.I hope this is correct, I've been patiently (sometimes a little impatiently, just ask the Mrs!!) for this set...
d00dz Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 When does Atlantis come out? The 2010 catalog says March POP comes out in April
lightningtiger Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Folks, 20% off Lego - MYERS - 24th Feburary to 7th March - just thought you would all like to know - thank goodness for junk mail eh ? I'm a conformist! !
Svelte Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Folks, 20% off Lego - MYERS - 24th Feburary to 7th March - just thought you would all like to know - thank goodness for junk mail eh ? I'm a conformist! ! If you have a discount card as included in the kids catalogue for Myer One members, you get another 10% off the sale price (so 28% discount in total)
Clone-Trooper Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 If you have a discount card as included in the kids catalogue for Myer One members, you get another 10% off the sale price (so 28% discount in total) I hate to be the party pooper, but on the Myer card for the extra 10% off, it states it excludes Toys and Books. I don't think Myers so forthcoming to be dishing out an extra 10% ontop of 20% already offered.......
Svelte Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I hate to be the party pooper, but on the Myer card for the extra 10% off, it states it excludes Toys and Books. I didn't notice that. Thanks for the tip!
d00dz Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Folks, 20% off Lego - MYERS - 24th Feburary to 7th March - just thought you would all like to know - thank goodness for junk mail eh ? I'm a conformist! ! Nothing good at Myers though and all their items are RRP. I hope they get some new Technic sets in.
Clone-Trooper Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Hi Everyone, Just been to Myer to buy a present for the wife when I strayed into the LEGO section.......... to my surprise I saw the Venator's with a clearance sticker along with a few other sets. Had a clearance sticker saying Was: $229 Now $183.20. I thought this could be great because with their 20% off it makes it a great buy if it's ontop of the $ 183.20!!! Sad truth of it is, those clearance stickers are on, but they are not on clearance, they're only on becuase Myer has the 20% off at the moment. Doesn't that defy the logic of having a clearance item marked down? If it's normal RRP price has a special percentage off at the moment, then I don't think it makes it a clearance item. Just a word of warning for others that may be fooled with false specials and clearances at Myer !!!!!
jonwil Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 I saw some copies of the City Bulldozer marked with "clearance" stickers with only a small useless discount.
booga-b Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Ducked into k-mart today at NSW and saw most of the Alantis stuff on the shelf.
Siegfried Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Ducked into k-mart today at NSW and saw most of the Alantis stuff on the shelf. Must... resist... going... out...
