KartoffelViking Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Anyone know when their 15% off ends? Not sure, but the 15 % off seems to have been on for the last 4 months or so. I even saw ads for the sale on TV on the weekend :-)
lightningtiger Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 That 15% off usually finishes just a week or two after school goes back, but it's the owners choice when it finishes. Didn't make it in there today, ah well there is always tomorrow ! Keep on looking !
Artanis I Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I went for a bit of a drive, hit 7 department stores. The only one that even had a good amount of Lego was also the only one with series 3 minifigs. 3 opened boxes, probably about 50% remaining. Could not find an elf (only figure I want 1 of - I have all the others I want already), but then again my bag feeling wasn't really concluding anything other than "that accessory does not feel like a bow or shield but I have no idea what it is". I'd memorised the particular dot code...
jonwil Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Something else to remember in the exchange rate discussion is that the exchange rate may not remain favorable in the long term. So in 6 months when the next containers full of police sets or NinjaGo or Star Wars or other 1h2011 sets get ordered and imported, the AUD may not be as good and therefore (even assuming no change in wholesale prices in USD terms) the wholesale AUD price would have to go up, putting pressure on retailers (who for obvious reasons cant raise their prices)
lightningtiger Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Lego have kind today....... I can tell you all the following...... 3658 Helicopter Transport.....Toys R Us 3648 Police Chase.............Target and the big one we all want........... 3661 Bank & Money Transport...Kmart Brick On Everyone !
nzkiwiman Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Just got my first BTTW order in. Ordered it last week (Monday), shipped the next day (Tuesday) and arrived here today (Monday) Fantastic packaging and its great to have these impuse sets that I never saw locally (New Zealand)
ang911 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Lego have kind today....... I can tell you all the following...... 3658 Helicopter Transport.....Toys R Us 3648 Police Chase.............Target and the big one we all want........... 3661 Bank & Money Transport...Kmart Brick On Everyone ! What was the price of the Bank and Money Transfer?? On a side note I received my box of 60 series 3 minifigs today. I preordered from ToyWiz when they had them for $179 delivered to Aus, when I received the box it had their own seals on it, so I was a bit worried the contents would be compromised and I wouldn't get a whole set...but I got three whole sets!! and 4 fisherman!! It was definitely worth the little bit longer wait!

Any idea of a release date for the bank set or the police chase?
slopemodified Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Target's latest catalogue says 20% off Lego and below it, 3 pictures of Ninjago sets. I'm guessing it's just Ninjago that the 20% off applies to? The page also says 20% off toy brands, and Lego Ninjago is one of them.

All very nice but when and where are we going to see Pharaoh's Quest Downunder?
lightningtiger Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Ah, release dates.....as per catalogue - police chase March - yeah right at Target then eh ? bank April.....maybe - fingers crossed sooner and the helicopter.....TRU are meant to have them for January release.....again yeah right ! We can assume that PQ will be second half release.....I forgot to ask Lego today....sorry ! Brick On anyway !
Delta 38 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Greetings everyone. I'll frequent this thread often in case of sales. Target's latest catalogue says 20% off Lego and below it, 3 pictures of Ninjago sets. I'm guessing it's just Ninjago that the 20% off applies to? The page also says 20% off toy brands, and Lego Ninjago is one of them. Thanks for that, I was planning to go today. I don't mind that Ninjago seems to be the only theme discounted, as it is one of my current obsessions. The prices are great, too. Garmadon's fortress for $89 sounds like a good excuse to buy it. Speaking of which, does anyone know the availability of Nuckal's ATV? It looks like an exclusive, so I'm guessing it's TRU?
Brickus Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Good news people Myer is having a sale on Thursday 27th, buy 2 get one free on all toys, also the new Big W and Target catalogues are out online with sales starting Thursday also. Big W is also stocking Collectible Minifigs at $4.78, I saw 3 full boxes and one open box at my local store.
AussieJimbo Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks for the tip on the 3 for 2 Brickus. Very helpful. Might defer my overseas order if they've got what I need. Good on Big W for at least trying with the minifig price. They do make an effort to keep their regular prices a little bit below the competition. :classic:
Brickus Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Sorry also Myer is stocking Collectible Minifigs, just in time for the sale.
lightningtiger Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 AWESOME about buy 2 get the 3rd free at Myers......Hello collectables ! The guy at Target tonight was kind to me.....he was putting the 20% off tags on the shelves...got 5 minifigs for about the same price as 4....sweet....finally got the rapper ! Target now also have the new creator stuff including the log cabin for normally 49 bucks. Has anyone spied the police helicopter/pick up truck chase pack at TRU yet ? Anyway, keep on shopping everyone !
AussieJimbo Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Sorry also Myer is stocking Collectible Minifigs, just in time for the sale. Too late for me but *woohoo* for anyone who was holding out. The first two series sold out super fast down here so I got in early despite the hit to the wallet. I guess as a result I'll be seeing heaps of them for weeks this time. *laugh* New stock is a good sign though, might check things out tomorrow and put something aside. :classic:
distortme Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Works out well for the last three SW kits I'm after [bar the exclusives] - not as good as last time as I got 3 kits for $200. Was expecting a 20% off sale, but who cares for an extra $4.40 saving on those kits........ And bingo on the minifigs, as I'm on leave Thursday + Friday.
Clone-Trooper Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Hey All, Whilst my news isn't as good as the Myer Buy 2 Get 1 Free, I thought I'd share especially if someone's after the following. www.oo.com.au have the following at great prices: Lego Space Police Galactic Enforcer $79.95 Lego Star Wars Venator Class Republic Attack Cruiser $129.95 Lego Star Wars Clone Turbo Tank $149.95
distortme Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 So Team looking for some sales advice! Looking to hit Myer first thing tomorrow to grab some minifigs, but also look into three kits for two. I was look at the SW Jedi shuttle and the Bounty Hunter ship, then probably the VWing to close up this rounds SW kits at Myer, but then thought - I can get an $80 kit for free and I'm going for a $40 kit..... So, i buy SW kits (you probably know that by now) but also am now building MOCs so I'm looking at a kit at around 80-100 that has some good pieces for my MOCs - which are SW most of the time anyhow - so colour wise I'm looking to help that along. So any good kits out there with some good tans, blacks, greys (light and dark) or whites? I was even thinking the XXL box might be good to get as its got 1600 bricks of every standard colour if I want to try something less SWee.... So any tips from any one out there?
distortme Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Hit Myer and got my 3 SW kits. Good builds for my 5 day weekend! If i was into trains you'd have a field day with the emerald dawn, and a $300 and $230 train in at Myer Adelaide. Also grabbed 9 minifigs for $30 which is a bargain - now just need to trade some doubles to complete my set. If anyone is in the same predicament as I am, I've added my wants and trades to the minifigs topic under the Sales section of this forum. Or if you cant click that far :) Trades: Samurai (1) Gorilla Suit Man (1) Tennis player (2) Snowboarder (1) Space villain (2) Tribal Chief (1) I'm after: Fisherman Sumo Wrestler Mummy Race car driver Hula Dancer Rapper
craym0nk Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 The Myer buy 2 get 1 free deal is actually going for 3 days, until Saturday 29th. Lots of signs all over the toy section in the Perth CBD store.
BrettBrick Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Wollongong Myer didn't have the minifigs. Neither has local bigws. No sign of log house either. Bit of a disappointment. Thought about buying 3 emerald greens and selling 1 but didn't do it. Has anyone in Sydney seen the log house creator set in store?

Lots of signs all over the toy section in the Perth CBD store. Yes, I noticed that too. No minifigures over here, though. Too bad. I did, however, get two Clone battle packs and get a third Mandalorian one, so that's okay. Oh, and just a correction... that Target sale is actually for all Lego themes, not just Ninjago. Perhaps Ninjago is just more marketed as it does include a collectible element.
