shnake Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Went to Perth CBD (and was there when they opened). They had the police station but not the other stuff I wanted (the minifig pack and big police truck). Talked to the MYER guy who looked up the police truck on his system and ended up going to Carousel where I picked up the station, minifig pack and police truck (having already bought the prisoner transport van) Wasn't interested in an Emerald Night (as I already have one and one is enough for me since I dont generally build train :) I went to Myer in Hornsby (Sydney) and found now new stock at all, and a heavily depleted old stock. I think it is the worst stocked Myer in the whole of Sydney. Matt

Matt Also, David Jones have a buy 2 books get 35% off sale which is good because it applies to the Brickmaster sets whcih they have in stock! I got the Atlantis, Castle and Star Wars ones, works out at about $26 each instead of $39.95. They also may have some of the new sticker books at some of the stores. The sale ends today though!! Matt

jonwil Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Does anyone have any rumors as to who will get the Police Helicopter, Bank Robbery and Police Chase sets or when they will appear?

lightningtiger Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Does anyone have any rumors as to who will get the Police Helicopter, Bank Robbery and Police Chase sets or when they will appear? I have heard from one of my suppliers that they might be importing the bank robbery set, amoung others ! Brick On Everyone !
nzkiwiman Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Wow, can you help out a NZ'er with those impluse sets? Pretty please?
Hemish Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Latest Toyworld cat has the series 3 minifigs due 24th Jan Bad news - $4.99 each I'm thinking I will source these from overseas, I'm not paying $300 for a box of these
lightningtiger Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I have heard that a small retailer might be getting series 3 in early this week......I'll try and keep you all informed !
jonwil Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 With TLG deciding to charge such a rip-off for these collectible minifigs (Series 1 was, what, $3?) I am seriously thinking about talking to the guys at the club about ordering a couple cases from the US somehow and splitting them up.
Ouchkabibbles Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Impulse sets for $1 dollar, I hope you didn't leave any of the good one's there and that you cleared them out........ I already had most of them so I just bought second copies. If they had jesters though I would've bought every single one!

I think this is what most AFOL's in Aus will be doing as there is no way we will pay full price for them. Matt
distortme Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 To the guys who emptied out K-Mart Kurralta Park (SA) of SW battle packs today, i don't like you :P 845PM tonight, one Mando pack left. I didn't buy it out of spite.

I didn't buy it out of spite. Well, I brought mine from Ingle Farm last week at 23 bucks, tonight no Mando's left, and only 7 or 8 clone BP's - try Toyworld Marden shopping centre - both Mando and clone BP's are hiding on the top shelf ! Keep on shopping ! Edited January 10, 2011 by lightningtiger
Anonymous Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 My Lego sort and store came in last week (I believe I got one the the last ones from BigW online) and I finally got around to opening it. I don't even care about the sort and store functions just having a big mini fig head is awesome. Today I also picked up the police minifig collection. Great additions if you need more cops and robbers for a city. The price increase on the mini fig series is due to the new packaging and package reader Lego had to buy. Sadly looks like us Aussies are paying for it. But I already noticed I can get a full set from bricklink and ebay including postage for less. However waiting to see what price Target and TRU set.
distortme Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Myer Adelaide has SW battlepacks ($23) and T6 shuttle ($99). They happily price matched against KMart online catalogue for SW battlepacks. T6 just too much - will wait for a sale. They said more stuff should be coming soon.
distortme Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Oh Fishpond, you're doing it wrong - 2011 SW sets on Fishpond - all 2x RRP!
Clone-Trooper Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Oh Fishpond, you're doing it wrong - 2011 SW sets on Fishpond - all 2x RRP! You almost seem surprised........ This way when Fishpond.com havea 50% off it will appear it's an awesome sale.......... not.
Civic Bossman Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Myer Cannington (WA) have the SW Battle Packs, T-6, V-Wing, Bounty Hunter ship, City Police mini-figs, boat, Command Centre, Police Station, K-9 and Prison Transport, and 6 or so Emerald Nights They also have 2 x Imperial Flagships in crushed and wide-open boxes. I have been in twice in 2 days asking about markdowns etc and they are not interested. Best "offer" I got was 25% off of the $279 price tag. Too much of a gamble if you ask me.
jonwil Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Anyone who pays more than RRP for a current-range LEGO set (with the exception of stuff thats exclusive to one store only) is stupid IMO.
KartoffelViking Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Does anyone know if the tantive dropped in price again? I can't see any in my local Kmarts anymore.
distortme Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Does anyone know if the tantive dropped in price again? I can't see any in my local Kmarts anymore. Kmart Firle had it at 169 still but none on shelf last night.
distortme Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 OK, Myer Adelaide finally have all new Star Wars 2011 sets. All at standard RRP. With their current sales model, I'm hoping for a 20% off toys in the coming week or two.
