Darth Draks Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Myer had no new sets this afternoon and their sale starts tomorrow night. Target had all the new star wars sets, I'm a bit disappointed with the weight of some of the smaller sets, 49 to 69 for the smaller sets almost like your buying them only for the minifigs. The falcon and the friggit where nice and heavy, on sale would be a good purchase.

Nothing new in Myer Adelaide today either, so unless I hear any different tomorrow I won't be making a trip to the stocktake sale. Has anyone heard if the new Harbour sets will be a k-mart exclusive (at least initially)? It just fits in with the themes they've got first over the last few years. With Kingdoms looking like at least a short term Toyworld exclusive and Alien Conquest apparently not hitting our shores for a couple months, this year's sales look like they might be good for my wallet for once.
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 6, 2011 Governor Posted June 6, 2011 I'm gathering the Black Pearl hasn't surfaced in any Myer stores yet?
Hewman Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 I'm gathreing the Black Pearl hasn't surfaced in any Myer stores yet? Not in Adelaide anyway. I don't know where these people were getting their info (they said Myer staff), but last week was when they said it would be out, and that's been and gone without a peep. Adelaide store did have the one Imperial Flagship still so for anyone here that was sitting on the fence about it, I suggest you grab it at 5:31 tomorrow night, it's a great set.
DarthSion Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 When do the toy sales start?. BTW anyone wanting the brickmaster city sets amazon uk still has free shipping, even though the set has been pushed back a month.
Darth Draks Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 If anyone wants a Star wars Bounty hunter shopforme has it for 40% off http://www.shopforme.com.au/index.php?main_page=page&id=12
greenpaw Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks for that Darth Draks. It is a good discount! Never heard of the site before either. Might be worth checking out for future discounts. Cheers

Based on previous years, MYER is likely to put their new stuff on the shelf in about early july when they have their big toy sale. Rumors indicate that MYER is going to get the London Bridge set.

Rumors indicate that MYER is going to get the London Bridge set. Yeah it's June 23 this year. The Tower Bridge looks beautiful and Myer (if they get it) will likely have it at a very good price but it takes up a huge amount of space to display which I don't have.
Darth Draks Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks for that Darth Draks. It is a good discount! Never heard of the site before either. Might be worth checking out for future discounts. Cheers Yeah not a bad find, cleaned them out of indiana jones sets Myer Melbourne has the ewok attack in stock, so from 5.30 tonight its 25% off.

How much is Myer selling them for these days (standard sale price)?
Hewman Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) How much is Myer selling them for these days (standard sale price)? $280, they haven't discounted it at all from RRP, so $210 after 25% off. Edit: I forgot to mention earlier Myer will have 40% off all full-priced books too and they had the new Harry Potter book and a range of other smaller books. The HP book would be $24 after discount, which is fairly close to the best prices online except you don't have to wait a couple weeks to get it and risk it getting damaged in transit.

hanzocloud Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Has anyone seen the large town MOC in a display glass at the city TARGET in Melbourne? And the huge Sydney Habour Bridge MOC behind the counter in the city MYER in Sydney? Or the Ned Kelly MOC in the display glass in the city MYER in Melbourne? they are pretty cool.

Myer Melbourne have a life size Jack Sparrow there behind the cars display. If you take a picture with it instead of "cheers" you have to say "Arggghhhh"
craym0nk Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Went to my Local Toyworld today and saw the two winter sets, which I bought, and ALL the NEW Kingdoms sets. Just confirming, these two sets are Toyworld exclusives. Previously only available from S@H with their hefty shipping charges. I picked up one of each from the Claremont store in WA, they had 4-5 of each on display. Prices where full Aus RRP. 10199-1: Winter Toy Shop AU$109.99 10216-1: Winter Village Bakery AU$94.99 Edited June 7, 2011 by craym0nk
ang911 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Yeah not a bad find, cleaned them out of indiana jones sets Myer Melbourne has the ewok attack in stock, so from 5.30 tonight its 25% off. What Indiana Jones sets did they have and what where the prices like? I wish I had seen that...
dotmike Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Checked out Myer Sydney city on the way home. As with other cities, they hadn't put any new stock out. I have the sneaking suspicion it's out the back to be wheeled out after the sale, which is being used to help clear the decks of the old stuff first. Disappointing. Myer's dead to me now. (Well, until they have a 20%+10% MyerOne sale in a few weeks with the new stuff out.) Didn't want to go home empty handed so went next door to David Jones and picked up a Lighthouse for $56. They had all the new stuff out for their 20% sale. Tons of Millenium Falcons, Frigates, Podracers, Airwoks, etc and still quite a few modular Fire Stations and Grand Emporiums.
distortme Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Myer Adelaide - nothing new. The Flagship boat is on hold for someone - it was sitting on the counter along with a big train set.
jonwil Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Nothing new in MYER or Target perth CBD. Didn't get the chance to pass through DJs (and didnt think it was worth it as they usually have almost no stock of any note)\ Plenty of POTC and Cars in MYER though (if you want POTC and cant get it from overseas, MYER with 25% off is the best place to get it)

We will be getting them in about 4 weeks i believe. Edited June 7, 2011 by Laygo
Darth Draks Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 What Indiana Jones sets did they have and what where the prices like? I wish I had seen that... Looks like they have some more Indiana Jones sets up on shopforme, I got the River chase for 29 and the Shanghai chase for 50. Also just got back from Myer, I picked up 2 ewok attacks and some tracks :)

dotmike Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Plenty of POTC and Cars in MYER though (if you want POTC and cant get it from overseas, MYER with 25% off is the best place to get it) Plenty's the word! In my ~5:30 pm stroll, I saw a well dressed gentleman pick up a QAR and excitedly show it to his lady partner. I was a bit far away to eavesdrop, but something to do with how much?, no, back it went on the shelf. That's hardly the first time I've seen that sort of sticker shock. The POTC range is just too expensive for what's in it, even at 25% off prices. Which, being honest, is where RRP prices should have started. I previously bought all the smaller sets (The Mill being the most expensive) because I am both a Pirates movie fan and an AFOL, but even I couldn't bring myself to go for the dead air that is Whitecap Bay, London Escape, etc. (I did buy some of the minifigs off BrickLink.) Judging by how full the tables and shelves are remaining even with 25% sales (Target already had one, and this is Myer's second in a fortnight), it's going to take more than that to move them in significant quantities. Bring on a 50% no-one-is-buying-this-stuff sale!
Hewman Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Looks like they have some more Indiana Jones sets up on shopforme, I got the River chase for 29 and the Shanghai chase for 50. Cool thanks! If you guys can let us know how your experiences go with shopforme.com.au it would be greatly appreciated. I can't find much information on them around the web. Are they new? The Shanghai Chase set is something I haven't seen in stores for at least two years. Edit: Just a note to be on the cautious side folks, this site looks very new and claims to be an official e-commerce retailer for Lego which I'm surprised about because from my conversations with official Lego sellers it is extremely difficult to become an official supplier. Hopefully it's all above board, but personally I'd be very wary from purchasing from here with the current lack of information around about them. Edited June 7, 2011 by hewman

I've purchased from them before so no worries, they're registered here in victroia and offer local pick up from their warehouse, they also do a good job on the boxing Edit: I sent them a email to let us know what there about.
