Darth_Legois Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 In most cases, it's just LEGO shops and S@H. Daaamnnniitttt.... KMart sales - At my local they had the V-19's on clearance for $65 - ao after the 15% got it for about $55, sweet!! They did have the Magna fighters heavily discounted as well, but I'm not that thrilled with that kit so didn't bother. They were running low on Clone battle packs (which I've noticed KMart have dropped the regular price from $20 to $18.88).On a different note - does anyone know if and when the Pirate line will hit retail in Australia? $55!?!! Holy crap thats the cheapest its been. There's still heaps of V19's last time I checked I hope they have some left... So does the sale end Thursday? I'll have to go tommorrow or something. Also I might pick up a Assasin Droid BP since its so cheap, Infact im suprised the kmart nonsale price is cheaper then the BigW nonsale price. The Pirates are out in New Zealand stores, so it can't be much longer till they arrive in Australia. Nz already? Wow. I thought they'd be out in March....

If you read my post some of the others are discounted too, also no, new sales at Kmart are always Thursday, so it will end this Wednesday.
TheTacoMan Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Got Darth Vader's tie for $40 today with the 15% discount! Good stuff! PS: Has anyone seen last year's x-wing anywhere? I've been dying to get my hands on one

Uhhh im pretty sure I went on Wednesday when the sale was on... Anyway hope I get the V19.... Got Darth Vader's tie for $40 today with the 15% discount! Good stuff! PS: Has anyone seen last year's x-wing anywhere? I've been dying to get my hands on one X-Wing? Not since the massive restock for CW around October at TRU last year...
I Scream Clone Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 X-Wing will only be at TRU if you are lucky enough to find one.
DarthSion Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 http://www.kmart.com.au/catalogue/Catalogu...et_it.|20090212 On sale Thursday the 12th until Wednesday the 18th. Kmart sales are always Thur-Wed.

No pricing as yet Ah you mean other than the $399. Republic Dropship with AT-OT Walker Item #: 10195 Ages: 14+ Pieces: 1758 Price AUD 399.99 And that sucks, in the rumours thread they said its out the 3rd of March, we have to wait till the 30th. Still i love lego, but i will wait, eventually ebay will get it, id rather wait then wait up to 18 days and pay $45, or 8 days and $100.
TheDarkness Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 When I posted it, the price was not listed at all as that section was completely blank. I wonder if it is a set I should wait for, depending on its exclusivity. I picked up my RGS off ebay for around $100, but this might just be out of the price range of most to offer decent discounts. Even K-Mart does the RGS for $129 usually, but I doubt they will pick up such an expensive set (thought they did sell the MF UCS)
I Scream Clone Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Well thats about what I expected it would cost. After the initial hype, I think I will just pick up some of the smaller sets with cooler figures like Greedo, than blow $400 on this. There is no denying how cool it looks and that TLC has made such an awesome set for AFOLs and others. I reckon the Death Star is a much cooler buy, even though it is more expensive. If they had of mis-listed it at the US price I would have snapped it up Darth Sion, you wont see to many on eBay because of its Exclusive nature. The only way an eBay seller can get this set is through TLC so don't expect any real price discount, sure you may get it quicker. Though if you split an order with other QLD members the postage is almost nothing. Home Ones would suit me better, once TRU gets them
Svelte Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 $399.99 is exactly what I would have predicted, price wise. As someone said in the main SW thread, it had to be more than the retail price of the Gunship and AT-TE combined. SW is the exception to the theme rule that the more you pay, the more value you get. $350 would have been a better price point, but TLG does seem to 'round up' the price tags for anything over $300. I'm pleased that they have been able to stick this up on the website so quickly though so we're not left speculating for weeks I wonder if this has taken the place of the next modular building in the March Exclusive release slot though? Just a thought as we haven't seen anything of that one yet. You could also order 2, throw in a key chain or something, and get bonus express shipping for orders over $800...

TLG has been too good with pricing this year. darn it. how am i going to get the ps DS and this now?!?!?!
Svelte Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I was in Melbourne over the weekend and the Myer there had a one-day 'Buy 2 toys, get 1 free' deal. I've never seen this type of sale before at Myer - did anyone notice it in any other city? It was part of a Valentine's Day only sale. A hearty if Myer is going to be doing this kind of promotion as a regular type of sale in 09 - it's a great way to stock up on things like battle packs which end up at 33% off. And let's face it, if 10195 is anything to go by, you can never have enough CW battle packs.

Yep, it was in Adelaide as well, but I resisted the urge to spend, now if they had the next waves of OT star wars sets there I would have gone crazy.

Thanks hewman. Let's hope this is the way of the future. This thread will become even more important if they start doing 1-day only sales! I also noticed the new $49.99 Power Functions pack in stock there too, which was a surprise.
Admiral Blockbeard Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Dang! I went looking for a deal on the 14th... went to Djs, Big W, Kmart (15%) and Target... just not myer. One day sales suck. It is too easy to miss out on them. Regards, Cpt. PB

PB crap. i went to myer but didn't see any signs. then again the chatswood myer is notorious for not putting any signs up. it didn't even have the special sale sign up during christmas.
DarthSion Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Wow that seems odd, you must have caught it as they added it to the lego site, because it was only 20mins later they had the price. Oh I'm not worried about discount, id just rather wait and get it off eBay so its not so long to wait by the mail box. Why is everyone saying the AT-OT is so expensive, if its out next month, and unless your getting stuffed like me, why not blow the 900 Krudd is handing out. Is there a price guide at all, to be exact, is there one for us, all i see is ones for the USA, I'm open to one if it had all stuff, but love one that's just SW as i don't collect any others. Just curious as i saw the rebel blockade runner on eBay for 800 and wondering if it was a good price.
I Scream Clone Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 TRU has listed the new Solar Sailer, Darth Tie and construction sets in their catalogue, however not on sale, just new listings according to TRU

I thought they would've had it earlier this month already...
Svelte Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 $149.99 for 10194 Emerald Night - that's in line with 10193. Yays! April 15th release date means of course we have to pay shipping twice unless we want to wait 2 weeks for the Dropship as well
Siegfried Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 $149.99 for 10194 Emerald Night - that's in line with 10193. Yays! Yes, I'm very pleased with that price.... April 15th release date means of course we have to pay shipping twice unless we want to wait 2 weeks for the Dropship as well ...but I'm dreading the price on that one.
natelite Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 general grevious just came back on S@H for A$65. hurry and order one before it sell out again.
