Erm, you are posting in the wrong thread and you should have started a topic in the star wars forum instead of crashing here... All well... Anyway I am so happy as my cousin has arrived from Aussie and I have recieved my half priced AT-TE! As you know the At-te went on half price and my cousin got it from me! It really is cheap! Especially since Singapore's currency was the same as Aussie's one!

It really is cheap! Especially since Singapore's currency was the same as Aussie's one! half price? when? cheapest i know of was A$109 from kmart about 2 weeks ago. anyway, a new BF-ish deal from TRU - tie crawler for A$40 (60% off msrp). i see lots of these stocked up. shouldn't run out anytime soon. should be good for the parts too...those tank threads... yummy.
Whittleberry Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 BF-ish? What do you mean by that? Anyway, that's quite a price reduction, and at TRU of all places! But I probably won't get one, I'm not really into the EU models and it doesn't look too flash. Gotta save up for next year!
natelite Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 BF = black friday. was referring to the huge discount normally unseen. it's an american term. TRU isn't so bad. they have begin to price match but you gotta find a cheaper deal elsewhere first! they usually have lots of sets though so it might be a good idea if the original store ran out during the promo. for eg, the mars mission sale in myers... if your myers ran out, just walk over to tru and get your set, price matched.
TheDarkness Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 General Grevious seems to have gone back up to full price... (Probably because K-Mart have it this week.) And typically my new credit card arrives a day later and I miss out again

Was'nt it like $80 on sale once at Target? but that was months ago Not a new deal, They did it earlier this year....But hmm thats a good deal....I want it for those tank treads too Edited December 4, 2008 by Darth_Legois
natelite Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Was'nt it like $80 on sale once at Target? but that was months ago dont think so. it was a mis-scanning. the set was $150 but may have been set up incorrectly as $99. 20% off would result in $80. i am assuming here... but most likely isolated to one store....not nationwide.

Hewman Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) Went to DJ's in Adelaide in my lunch break today and there was a great selection of Lego, and as stated before, it's all 25% off. I was good and only left with a 48x48 grey baseplate for less than $12. For those interested some of the rarer sets available included the bat tumbler which I believe is going for a fortune on ebay right now; the old harbour ship from a year or so ago which I think with discount now comes to less than $100; the most recent hospital from a year or two ago which is $90 before discount (I haven't seen this on the market for ages). I also saw the green grocer set but no cafe corners. Finally my recommendation to anyone that doesn't own it is to get the dwarves mine which is an awesome set (and I'm not big into castle) and it's only $52.50 after discount. Get in quick folks, I can't see the shelves being full for long. Edited December 8, 2008 by hewman

I already built it....And I got it afew weeks ago. I know DJs rocks.... Wait myer has a sale? Hmm 25% Off if its cheaper then the one earlier this year I will cancel my lay-by and get this one!
natelite Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I already built it....And I got it afew weeks ago. I know DJs rocks.... Wait myer has a sale? Hmm 25% Off if its cheaper then the one earlier this year I will cancel my lay-by and get this one! a few weeks? still plenty of time. for returns, i think it's within 30 days. it's 90days in the US. here's what you can do. bring your old receipt. buy a new set at the discounted price. bring the new set and the old receipt to the service counter. return the set and pocket the difference! so far myer only has sale for specific sets. haven't seen a blanket 25% off yet. but anyhoo, i usually just get kmart to price match. unless it's an exclusive set or when kmart sold out.
