TheDarkness Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 I was suprised to see the new Lego at our local K-Mart, though we certainly haven't been getting the awesome discounts like we did in the past BTW I don't think this was posted here, but Target was selling the Star Wars Lego Dictionary for $35 in store
Brickaroo Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 I actually had a dream once where I ran amok and bought every Lego sets...then I woke up (nooooooooooooooooo........)Anyway, I have finished putting the mammoth that is the Police HQ set together and it's definitely worth the money. My only complaint as usual is putting the stickers on things, I'm just not very good at lining them up. Up until now, all the policemen in my town have been hanging around the pizza corner place so they now have a place to call home - they can thank their mayor the chibi_joker (awwwww.... ). Use tweezers mate, best solution.
Maverick Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 TRU has minifigs. They only had one box and there was only 5 left which I took 4 out of , good news they were $2.99 each.

jmadd58 Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 For those of you on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, TARGET at the Sunshine Plaza has the Series 1 minifigs available, 4 boxes of them, all just about full. Albeit at $3.75 . Didn't stop me from snagging the Spaceman and the Cheerleader using barcodes though. Oh, and they are located in the toy aisle, not near the counter, so no team members will be staring at you strangely when you pull out your barcode sheet and start rifling through the box.

Artanis I Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Use tweezers mate, best solution. Why didn't I think of that?..

Might grab another Smash n Grab and turn it into something else.
jonwil Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 damn, no sale on the one SP3 set I might be tempted to buy (the limo)
Artanis I Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 damn, no sale on the one SP3 set I might be tempted to buy (the limo) The limo is quite something! The 3 sets on sale are well worth those prices though.
hawkyboy4 Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Which the yellow bags or blue ones ? I'm a conformist! ! So does that mean series 2 is rumoured to be out? I'm confused
lightningtiger Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 So does that mean series 2 is rumoured to be out? I'm confused You tell me so to speak, I thought they weren't getting series one, but series two.........I talked to a manager about a month or so ago and claimed July release of minifigs and it's number ended in 64 ! I'm a conformist! !

(Woo! You even go to the SP!) Thank for the heads up. Been searching there forever. Got me a zombie, caveman, and ninja. (Wasn't to keen on the ninja... )

Has anyone seen the Lego truck in stores here yet? I was thinking the toys r us sale might be a chance to grab one at 20% off (if I can work out what else to buy to get it to $100).

Hey hewman, If your in Adelaide, then go to Gepps Cross as Toys'R'Us had plenty of them on a front end, if your not in Adelaide then don't drive here as the price of fuel will outweight the cost of the set :-) Just grab the TS3 garbage truck for $99.99 and one impulse set for $4.99, that will take you over the $100 voucher mark.

I thought the TS3 garbage truck was $109 (inflated TRU RRP). They may have reduced it to the correct RRP of $99. its starting to look more attractive at $80. Still a bit too dear for me. If it wasn't licenced I think this would be worth at $50- $60..

I defiantely saw it at the $109 price point, so I think they're being a little more realistic now, but perhaps they didn't want to sell to many before the sale either so they raised the price for those people who must have it on day one........ But it was $109, $80's not too bad for Toys'R'Us..........

But it was $109, $80's not too bad for Toys'R'Us.......... Although they might claim $99 is discounted price so won't give 20% off. The drive to Gepps Cross might offset my savings, and I'm not sure an hour or more of my time driving is worth $10 on the weekend. But thanks for the info guys!

Wait, the post by hewman refers to the "Lego Truck" which I take to mean the yellow City truck. Yet your post refers to the TS3 Garbage Truck. Which one is it that's available at TRU and is the yellow "Lego Truck" available anywhere at all yet?

Yet your post refers to the TS3 Garbage Truck.Which one is it that's available at TRU and is the yellow "Lego Truck" available anywhere at all yet? Toys'R'Us has the TS3 Garbage truck for $99.95 in the catalogue (exclusive), 20% off available on this weekend. The yellow dump truck 7789 is $29 at Target stores or $31.99 at Toys'R'Us. Im sure hewan was refering to the expensive Garbage Truck set.
lightningtiger Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 OMG ! Home One is only 139 bucks at TRU - There is a Santa in July oops June ! Oh, by the way TRU stores are getting minifigs too ! Yeah, another thing ......me lucky today........ 7937 train station from Parafield Toyworld ! The review of which will be in the train forum in a few hours ! Oh, yeah they are already out of minifigs........ when I left 5 left, but I blew my money on 7937 and a deposit on the Kingdoms Kings Castle ! I'm a conformist! everyone !

Yet your post refers to the TS3 Garbage Truck.Which one is it that's available at TRU and is the yellow "Lego Truck" available anywhere at all yet? Yeah, the one with big lego stickers on the side, I thought the other guys were offering an alternative (albeit a more expensive one). The new train station has made an appearance in Myer Adelaide. Box feels pretty heavy, I might consider when reduced from its $80 RRP. Lightningtiger, I look forward to your train station review.

I think that hewman was refering to City Truck 3221 I think that its still only avalable at s@h have not seen it in stores yet but it could be a Toys R Us suprise for the sale?
hawkyboy4 Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 For anyone interested, MailOrderExpress has 10% off all LEGO. Still quite high prices, due to the exchange rate the moment. Though the Alamut Fort is only $110. (not sure whether that's the price in the local stores)
