Clone-Trooper Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 No TS3 gear at our local Kmarts yet, BUT first release TS is all going on CLEARANCE......yes that favorite word Kmart really loves ! Checked a few other S.A. Targets - no go on minifigs ! I'm a conformist! ! Lightningtiger You can't go writing Lego is going on Clearance at K-Mart if you don't post the prices (approximates are fine). It's just teasing if we don't know........ But I shall forgive you if you provide good clearance prices :-)
MinifigHQ Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 I found 3 (opened) boxes of Minifigures on the shelves of Target Rhodes (Sydney) this afternoon. Armed with my trusty barcode print out, I managed to get all 16 out of one box. The other interesting thing was that this Target still had the 20% off LEGO going! It would seem that some Targets have finished it early and others are going until 26 May. However it didn't seem to scan at the checkout that way and maybe I only got it because I asked, though there were still signs on the shelves. Even better, when they manually calculated it, 20% off became 25% off somehow, so I got all the minifigs for $3 each! Awesome. Are you saying Target is charging $4 for the minifigs? I was told the R.R.P would be $3.75?

It's just teasing if we don't know........ But I shall forgive you if you provide good clearance prices :-) Well from what I remember, little green army men pack was 16.50 and Buzz's spaceship was 44 bucks, they had the yellow clearance tags on them, so the reductions are just starting I would say they'll be lower again in a few weeks if they last that is ! I'm a conformist! !
lightningtiger Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 Quick note - TRU have a couple Lego sets on sale till the 2nd of June, biggest saving is the good old crawler crane down to 59.99 (I know Kmart had these at 40 bucks a few months ago, but hey some might have missed out right ?). I'm a conformist! !
Svelte Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 Wouldn't it have been quicker to google target kmart and bigw look for the shops near you then pick up this little thing called a telephone. In my experience most staff have absolutely no idea what is going on in-store Are you saying Target is charging $4 for the minifigs? I was told the R.R.P would be $3.75? I think emily assumed that since the official retail price is $3.99 she got 25% off, whereas it's more likely she got 20% off the $3.75 Target price which is also $3
WetWired Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Brisbane cbd target has the minifigs in stock, I can't be certain but it looked like 2 fresh boxes in the toy section with the rest of the Lego. $3.75 each, though I grabbed 10 at random for myself and only noticed after I'd walked out that I'd only been charged for 9. I haven't opened any yet but if I have any duplicates and anyone in the Brisbane area wants to trade I'm keen.
guy montag Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Well from what I remember, little green army men pack was 16.50 and Buzz's spaceship was 44 bucks, they had the yellow clearance tags on them, so the reductions are just starting I would say they'll be lower again in a few weeks if they last that is !I'm a conformist! ! I saw this too. But the stickers on the green army men were RED. Go figure.??? Lego Farm had clearance on at $99. but this set is on sale at TRU at $77.99 starting from Tomorrow. till Sunday 6th of June.
Izzy Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Brisbane cbd target has the minifigs in stock I am just west of Brisbane and they didn't have them at my store today. The toy aisle girl didn't have a clue what I was talking about and seems to think they wouldn't get any new LEGO in till the July Toy Sales!
WetWired Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Ok well I've opened them all now, I have 5 duplicates out of 10 packets :( I got: 3 robots 3 crash test dummies 2 magicians 1 caveman 1 skateboarder So for those interested in trading I'm willing to trade any of the following: 2 crash test dummies 2 robots 1 magician for any of the following: cheerleader zombie nurse cowboy clown astronaut ninja indian scuba diver wrestler
Noodles140 Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Target Perth CBD now has stock of Minifigs in the LEGO section of the store. 2 boxes opened and 2 unopened. $3.75 each. -Noodles
jmadd58 Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 In my experience most staff have absolutely no idea what is going on in-store Exactly right. No one at my local stores has any idea about LEGO. Which is why I asked here and didn't 'pick up this little thing called a telephone'.

Adding to lightningtiger's post, Here are the rest of the Lego sets on sale at Toys'R'Us: Lego City Farm - $77.99 (40% off) Lego City Crane - $59.99 (40% off) Lego Space Police Container Heist - $39.99 (20% off) Lego Space Police Hyperspeed Pursuit - $59.99 ($20 off) Star Wars Seperatist Shuttle - 49.99 ($15 off) Nothing too exciting.... and for those that have seen the Seperatist Shuttle thinking it was going on sale soon, well it is, but not at a bargain price !!!!!
lightningtiger Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Kmart T.T.P. - all THREE TS3 sets in stock - got myself & my son the dump truck with Lotso in it for $39.00 I'll wait until Thursday the train will be down to 119 bucks from 159 - yes that's right normally $ 159 !!! I noticed also a box of new SP3 (smash'n'grab - 5982) to go out among others I couldn't see in their stock trolley. I'm a conformist! !
jonwil Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 3 TS3 sets? There are 5 that I know of Dump Truck Garbage Truck Train Pizza Planet Truck Alien Crane thing
Svelte Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Those prices are horrendous! As bad as Star Wars! $39 for that Dump Truck is an insult. $160 for the Train is hard to justify when the Alamut set was $140 and both are $USD80. For diehards only, methinks.
Civic Bossman Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 I have found the Minifigs at Toyworld Armadale ($3.99) and Midland, and Target Morley ($3.75), WA
lightningtiger Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Well the garbage truck is exclusive to TRU - maybe these are priced like Star Wars sets because of what it is.....Toy Story. Dump truck, train set and garbage compactor are at Kmart - I didn't check the price on the latter sorry folks. I'm a conformist! !
lightningtiger Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Just scored myself 5981 from SP3 today for 16 bucks at Kmart - not all stores have TS3 sets out yet by the looks of it ! I'm a conformist! !
Hewman Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Hey Hewman, where did you see the Seperatists shuttles?And who was selling them at $35? I may be tempted........ Cheers That was quite a few months ago at toys r us, and at least in adelaide at the end of the sale they had heaps in stock. I'm surprised they didn't have a better price than $49 this time.
Lycanthrope Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Any Perthites see the minifigs north of the river? I checked Whitfords (Big W & Target), Kingsway, Warwick, but none of them have any. I checked Joondalup last week, and also nothing. I might have to drive south to get some tonight :)
melike75 Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 I dont know about north but Target at Bullcreek has em.
jonwil Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Any Perthites see the minifigs north of the river? I checked Whitfords (Big W & Target), Kingsway, Warwick, but none of them have any. I checked Joondalup last week, and also nothing. I might have to drive south to get some tonight :) If you can get to it, Morley Target had plenty in stock as of yesterday. Don't waste your time checking Big W or K-Mart, it seems like the only places to have stock so far are Toyworld and Target.
Lycanthrope Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Thanks jonwil, I'll take a drive up tonight. Need some zombies and cheerleaders :)
Whittleberry Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Myer's will be open from 5:30pm on June 1; they're kicking off their stocktake sales with a preview evening! 25% off all toys :thumbup:
lightningtiger Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Lotso's Dump Truck is now available at BigW for just under 38 bucks (so it wasn't Kmart being greedy eh ?) No other TS3 was there (Elizabeth City Centre). I'm a conformist! !
