jonwil Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 YAY for the City fire station, I WILL be there to buy one for all the cool parts in it (since its being launched in the sale, it logically follows that it will be available at less than RRP) As for Creator, I assume that would be the crocodile, the fighter jet and the 4x4 pickup truck, right?
lightningtiger Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Croc NO, motorbike YES. I'm a conformist! !
Hewman Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Is it just me or do I seem to find out things real early eh ? KMART TOY SALE BIG SW set is .......... Tantive IV $299.00 Plus the 3 new creator vehicle sets, and City fire station too. That's all I was able to get out of the Kmart worker stacking toys in their promo area. I'm a conformist! ! Yes you do find out early, I guess that happens when you put in way more effort than the rest of us in finding things out! So is $299 the sale price? Full RRP, not exactly tempting. It'd probably still be less off starwarsshop.com.
lightningtiger Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Hey, we know it's the R.R.P., but the regular non-Lego knowledgable Kmart customer knows ! They will think it's a baragin at $299 ! I'm a conformist! everyone !

Tony Almeida Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Well it's rather unfortunate that they're selling a set at full RRP during a toy sale, but I won't be picking any of the SW sets. I'm still hoping to snatch up a ridiculous discount during either of the toy sales. (hopefully the Galactic Enforcer )
jonwil Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Now I have a dilemma, do I buy the Lamborghini police car (which is a GREAT model) or do I buy the City fire station (which has some GREAT parts) I also want the red creator sports car :( Decisions, decisions :)
Civic Bossman Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 K-Mart Cannington (WA) was stocking up today on SW Tantive IV ($299), Wampa Cave ($79), City Fire Station ($129), Fire Boat ($69), Fire Truck with Boat ($69), Fire Helicopter ($59)
Belchher Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 By the sounds of things all these K-Mart prices are pre-sale, for people silly enough to buy this week instead of next when the sale starts. Lets hope its a nice fat discount! I'm going to have to make sure I check if the on-line catalog is up tomorrow before I head out to Myers, so I know how much cash to save or spend

I'm a conformist! !
YG-49 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Toyworld catalog is out. Only about 3 things on sale. Buy any TS3 set and get the free Alien mini-promo.

Er, I hate to break it to you, but well most of us know .....I scored a Kings Castle and train station early, plus a stack of minifigs 3 for 10 bucks. Unless there is a different catalogue, but I just went and checked - it's still the one with the $199 Lego passenger train on it's front cover. Anyway, I'm a conformist! !

I'm going to have to make sure I check if the on-line catalog is up tomorrow before I head out to Myers, so I know how much cash to save or spend I received an email from k-mart earlier in the week saying that the catalogue would be up on the web on the 24th, so it may even be up at midnight EST/ It's Official........ as a MYER one Member save an additional 10% on already reduced toys, books, games and console games from our current toy catalogue But hurry in with your MYER one Card because this exclusive offer is for two days , from Thursday 24 until Friday 25 June 2010! Brilliant, thanks for that news, an Imperial Flagship for $180 is insane!
Strand Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I also think the $300 Tantive IV is likely a pre-sale price, will just have to wait for the catalogue for this one. Don't think it will be as heavily slashed as the AT-OT price, only reason why that one kept getting cut was 1) the initial price was only $50 less than RRP, a lot less than the $150 off on the DSII and 2) it wasn't really a popular set and could still be found all over the place.

Great news, but I don't see it in my personal email and Myer website.. hopefully that's truth, anyway, I will buy my Legos tomorrow
Whup Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Ah well, good luck to everyone looking for sets tomorrow! I hope you all manage to pick up the trains/pirate ships/fire stations that you're after.
jonwil Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Has anyone seen any discounts on the City Corner lately? Anywhere I can get it for less than RRP? (I need more of the trans-black bits from it for various bus related projects)

(I need more of the trans-black bits from it for various bus related projects) Try Myers when the 20% off sale begins, call around all the stores and see if they still have stock of them. I'm a conformist! !
jonwil Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I do have this crazy scheme planned (which I have successfully completed once before) where I will visit all 6 MYER stores in the state in a single day, along with any other LEGO retailers near those stores. So if any of them have the City Corner, Lambo police car or other stuff I want, I will be sure to see it (and have the option to buy it) The craziest thing is that I will be using buses and trains to do it.
Strand Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Hhmmm $299 Tantive IV not too sure about that one. If they'll lower a lay-bay (reserved) one to match their retail price, I'll probably go for that. Wampa's Cave (exclusive) at $69, Atlantis Mech $54 and a whole bunch of City sets. Frankly, the Star Wars Hasbro and Transformers section are more interesting for me at this point.
lightningtiger Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 IT'S UP ! Kmart's catalogue - the Tantive IV is 299, fire station 99 bucks (score !), fire helicopter 49 (score again !), the little fire pickup truck/trailer combo of 2007 comes back at only 14 bucks and both fire boats 59 bucks each KMART EXCLUSIVES for Lego City FIRE sub-theme ! Wampa Attack at 69 - also a Kmart EXCLUSIVE ! Technic helicopter at 26 dollars - yes, you guess again.....another EXCLUSIVE to Kmart ! Here see for yourself from page 38........ Kmart Toy Sale Catalogue I'm a conformist! everyone !
jonwil Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Claiming that the yellow airplane and the blue motorbike are "only at K-Mart" could get them in trouble as both sets are available at plenty of other stores (or have been last I looked) I do LOVE that fire station at 99 bucks though (If you want the fire station, GET ONE at the K-Mart sale, 99 bucks is the cheapest you will find it anywhere anytime soon) Also interesting is that the catalog depicts the police motorcycle in the blue-sticker version, not the black-sticker version that all the shops seem to have. Maybe this means K-Mart has gotten some new stock which happens to be the blue sticker version (which would be good for me, I need more bikes for my police force and dont want more black sticker ones) Looks like my toy-sale-purchase-list is now complete unless Target or TRU get City stock we havent heard about yet (e.g. yellow truck or family house) or the new impulses/collectible figs appear somewhere City Fire Station Maybe Lambo Police Car (just because its looks so GOOD :) Red creator sports car (if the BigW price on it is low enough) Don't think I got the cash for another City Corner (not if I want to save for the Grand Emporium later in the year), but I really need some more 1 x 4 x 3 panels in trans-smoke (there is exactly ONE for sale on all of Bricklink for Australia dammit :P Edited June 23, 2010 by jonwil
lightningtiger Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I was just in Kmart Ingle Farm this morning, they HADN'T received stock yet, but a female worker was trying to figure out where to put the new stock and condense the old stock. I will check one or two across town later this morning. I'm a conformist! everyone !
lightningtiger Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Just thought everyone would be interested in this....... Lego city truck 3221 - iqtoys.com.au Yes, an Australian online store has stock of the Lego truck ! I'm a conformist! ! OMG ! (quick edit) Found this and I wonder if this will be the same price as BigW next week ? Luke's landspeeder -iqtoys.com.au If it is at that price next week - midnight at BigW I shall be unless I find them sooner ! Edited June 23, 2010 by lightningtiger
