WetWired Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Thanks for the help guys, I ended up ordering the fire brigade while shipping was free...and somehow managed to order a grand emporium while I was at it
Siegfried Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I just got back from my local K-Mart looking for PoP, no luck,... but I found better. 6754 Family Home for $23! There was only one there and it wasn't marked as being on sale but I bet that they are on sale every where! Run, don't walk, to K-Mart! Now! A $107 saving, 83% discount! That's a record for me.
d00dz Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 oh wow $23! Im gonna go find some at the 24hr kmarts! Thanks Siegfried

And Siegfried, thanks for the heads up! Ha, ha I'm just down the road from a Kmart and going to another later on , I try and just get one (those roof slopes will be handy to have) !

Whup Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) None (or at least none left) at Marion, Adelaide. Missus just had a look for me but came back empty handed. :( Nevermind... I chickened out on the Flagship last night too. My only hope is that they'll turn up at one of the local shops one day instead. Edit: no houses left at Noarlunga either. Hopefully saves someone a trip! Edited May 5, 2010 by Whup

No luck at Firle, SA. The most exciting thing there was a lot of cleaned out empty space on the shelves with no price tags looking like they're getting ready for Prince of Persia sets to come in.

The most exciting thing there was a lot of cleaned out empty space on the shelves with no price tags looking like they're getting ready for Prince of Persia sets to come in. Well that explains the price then; they must have had only a few. Am I the only lucky one? Sorry if I've wasted anyones time. As a FYI the Home One and AT-OT sales are over; was this just a S@H experiment? My order has already shipped!
Svelte Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I just had an email that the SW stickers that were supposed to ship with the order were not available - you know, the ones that were the whole point of this exclusive S@H promotion - and will be sent separately Great work, LEGO!
d00dz Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Well that explains the price then; they must have had only a few. Am I the only lucky one? Sorry if I've wasted anyones time. :( I didnt find any at 3 Kmarts tonight. :( Oh well. Guess you were lucky!

Maverick Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I hit 4 kmarts in melb but no luck If any one has luck pls post as then we know whether it was a localised special or not.
Siegfried Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 If any one has luck pls post as then we know whether it was a localised special or not. It is looking that way but if it was that case you'd think it would be labeled as such. Siegfried guilt factor: 75% and rising.
lightningtiger Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I just PM'ed 'Hewman' - Munno Para Kmart has heaps of the houses, but still at old 74 buck price. Plus I have it on good word that a Toyworld in somewhere in Adelaide has just received PoP stocks - I'm putting the big set on layby and buying the small one tomorrow. I'm a conformist! everyone !
Siegfried Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I just PM'ed 'Hewman' - Munno Para Kmart has heaps of the houses, but still at old 74 buck price. OK. So it seems my local store puts items on sale prior to other stores and doesn't make them as such. That makes no sense at all... but it does seem to be the case. Odd. Siegfried guilt factor: 80% and rising.
d00dz Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Siegfried guilt factor: 80% and rising. :cry_sad: Dont worry. I'll reset it back to 0% for ya!
Hewman Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 It is looking that way but if it was that case you'd think it would be labeled as such.Siegfried guilt factor: 75% and rising. I drove 400km and spent $40 on petrol looking for one of these... Nah, seriously, thanks for letting us know about it, no reason to feel guilty at all!
guy montag Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) It is looking that way but if it was that case you'd think it would be labeled as such.Siegfried guilt factor: 75% and rising. Don't feel so bad Siegfried. The family home has had a cascading discount that had started from the RRP to $100, then $80, then $65. Most got sold off around this price as I was checking many kmarts in Sydney at this time, this is going back February/ March. Later on in the month in another forum a Sydney AFOL scored one at $40, only 1 though. Now it must have been further reduced to the price you paid at $25. Edited May 5, 2010 by guy montag
Redcross Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 All the prince of persia sets were seen today at target store ttp Adelaide I went with the big set 7573 for the great parts.
emilyjem Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Saw all the Prince of Persias today at K Mart Marrickville Metro, Sydney. No Family Home though or any specials to speak of!
Svelte Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Now noone has any excuse not to enter the PoP comp (Not that anyone had any before).
jonwil Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Does anyone have a release date for the 5867 Super Speedster in Australia or know where I can get one? Or an Australian RRP for it?
Siegfried Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 There was one PoP set at my local K-Mart; The Ostrich Race 7570. As it turns out I ordered that set from S@H. (I might get another later.) But the reason why I'm posting is to say that it was $32; $2 above list. Are they doing this with all sets? This could just be a pre-sale strategy, but be aware that for now the prices could be inflated.
Mightycooper Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 I bought a couple of sets off S@H during the May 4 sale and i was just wondering how long it will take for delivery? I know it says upto 18 days but i was just wondering what others have experianced in terms of delivery times from there.
