Clone-Trooper Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 NEWS FLASH !Check Toyworld.com.au for nearest store in their latest sale.......... Lego City POLICE STATION 7744 and GARAGE 7642 both $ 99 each !!!!!! I'm a conformist! everyone ! I think you should have written "check your local store which isn't participating" in the catalogue sale !!!! Which is 95% of the stores according to their website............
lightningtiger Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 I think you should have written "check your local store which isn't participating" in the catalogue sale !!!!Which is 95% of the stores according to their website............ Don't be too sure on that, call your local to see if they are really doing it or not. You find alot of the rural stores are doing it, so go for a drive and you might also find a few rare sets - that sometimes happens in these country Toyworld's. I'm a conformist! !

DarthSion Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Sort of on but off topic, for those of you hairy plopper fans, if you pre-order from BigW you can get the collectors version at the same price as the normal, i think it ends 23rd june.

Lycanthrope Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Great to hear about the Target sale, cheaper Lego is the most awesome Lego :) Unfortunately I find (at least around north of the river in Perth) most stores prices are quite a bit higher than regular prices at Big W. During the last 20% sale I found some sets that were actually cheaper in Big W :/ Am I just going to the wrong Targets?
lightningtiger Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Okay, everyone I have some information on the MINIFIG bags........... available next month and only at TOYWORLD stores.....they have the first series as an exclusive ! Goodie, I have about 50 bucks credit at one - me go shopping for cheerleader ! I'm a conformist! everyone !
jonwil Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 That contradicts what has been said before about Toyworld stores getting it in in May. Should see about asking some Toyworld people at Fremantle (who were quoted as getting stock in this month) if they can shed any further light on it.

I'm a conformist! everyone ! Sounds good - even my wife was impressed with the minifig collection, so I should be able to buy a few. There's none that I'd consider must-haves though, so it might be good fun trading them. I was hoping they'd become the type of thing available as an impulse buy at supermarkets - it would be easy to grab one every week during the shopping or something. For the baby, of course

This information came from another toy retailer who asked the Lego rep that question of who/when ? I'm a conformist! !
d00dz Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 go shopping for cheerleader ! Save the cheerleader save the world!!!! Damit no ToyWorlds in the Metro areas. Anyone know if there is word that if they will be avaliable on the S@H or in other bigger retail stores? Kmart or Toyrs R Us? Surprised TRU havent said they will get it?
Mightycooper Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Does anyone know when the new SW set are going to be available in Australia, im really looking forward to getting the Greivous Starfighter and the new Slave 1
melike75 Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Hey, anyone interested in importing and splitting a box re: the new minifigs? Id organise it if anyone was interested and if anyone could tell me where to get a box from :)
melike75 Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Although then you dont have the thrill of the hunt do you.. decisions decisions.
Whup Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Hey, anyone interested in importing and splitting a box re: the new minifigs?Id organise it if anyone was interested and if anyone could tell me where to get a box from :) I'd probably be interested in getting a small share of a box (say, $50 worth), but I don't think I'd get away with spending hundreds. On a side note that might be of interest to fellow Adelaidian's, there appears to be a Lego speciality shop going up in a little group of shops opposite Wirreanda High School. I doubt very much that it's official since it isn't a flash shopping centre or anything, but the windows are covered in brown paper and there are a lot of Lego logos. There appeared to be 'under construction' signs featuring a picture of a minifig as well. Very exciting!
jonwil Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Could it be a store similar to the one in Mooney Ponds in Victoria (Lego Education Store or something) which sells the Dacta/Educational sets in addition to the regular sets?

In other news, Adelaide toyworld has the PoP sets, all grossly marked above RRP, the $80 set at $100 is the worst of them from memory. Given my local toyworld sold the last impulse sets at $6.99 I'm not expecting a good deal anywhere close by for the new collectible minifigs. Whup, if you can get your hands on a box at RRP or even find out where they're available to buy as a box, it'd be great if you could let me know. Edited May 11, 2010 by hewman
lightningtiger Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 G'day everyone, said new so called toy shop has nothing to do with good old TC, might have something to do with the guy down the Port Markets. I'm a conformist! !

Interesting, I thought Hewman might have been on the money with the Toy Corner suggestion. It would be handy having a source of bricks relatively close to home. Handy and expensive! I'm not sure I'll have the time to chase up the minifig collections (what with a baby due very soon and lots of work to be done around the house), but I'll look into it and see what I can find. My in laws are coming back from a holiday to Europe next week, I'll see if I can get them to bring back an extra package!
melike75 Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) I'd definitely be happy to put money in towards a box..providing its not tooo expensive of course. As i said earlier,id be happy to order it in myself and split up the goodies amongst all who're interested..but ihave no idea where to get them from.. :( I almost bought a set of 12(?) off ebay but 100$ is just too much,, Edited May 11, 2010 by melike75
emilyjem Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 I'd be happy to chip in too. There must be some other deal for the Minifigures in Sydney though, surely, as there are no Toyworlds that I know of. Also bttw.com.au did tell me they would have them mid-May. I guess time will tell! Also just to confirm that Big W have 7744 Police Headquarters for $88 and it's available for online ordering too - 7744 at Big W. Big W have some good Toy Story prices in their latest catalogue too, including 7594 Woody's Roundup for $75. Cheers!
