Brickmamba Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 as far as i know the myer 3 for 2 is the best and most frequent sale in oz and is my main shop for Lego until someone else can do better than 33% off RRP
lostdriveway Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Just spotted on Lasoo Toys R Us have got the Public Transport set for $99 - (save $70) Great price!
Kryne Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Just spotted on Lasoo Toys R Us have got the Public Transport set for $99 - (save $70) Great price! Wow they must be getting desperate to move them, i thought the $130 i paid for it was a bargain.
slopemodified Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Just spotted on Lasoo Toys R Us have got the Public Transport set for $99 - (save $70) Great price! It should be noted that it starts on Monday the 19th. Just went to TRU and they wanted to know my source.
Belchher Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) For those interested a handful of the new 2012 sets ( city and technic where all I found so far ) are up on S&H. Will do a scrounge around the usual suspects later in the week and see if they're on shelves yet, I really want to grab a handful of the new mini technic crawler crane which is only $24.99 RRP, less than I was expecting for once edit: Just to make it clear why I'm putting this here, when I say up on S&H I mean with region set to Aus Edited December 19, 2011 by Belchher

There are zero available on Bricklink & I can't find it on S@H USA. It has happened before, where we received a set well before other countries!
lightningtiger Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Prices, again the prices....at least the two lower priced police sets are not too bad.....especially the monster pick-up truck. 4206, 49 bucks sounds an exclusive store price.....TRU ? Is the police station worth 120 bucks though ? Better to buy it either on sale or from overseas !
Belchher Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I was thinking if they show up in target before the end of the week the buy one, get one 50% off might make them worthwhile. I agree about the recycling truck though, $50 is kind of horrible, city is getting more over priced than the licensed themes these days
Hewman Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I received an email saying 20% off toys at Myer from tomorrow, so I popped in today just for a look and it looks like it has started already (at least in Adelaide). However the main point of this is to mention they have a couple hard to find sets, there's the Imperial Flagship in large quantities, and they also had a couple of the Kingdoms castle (7946) left which is getting hard to find and will probably only increase in popularity once the Joust set is released.
Hewman Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Adelaide Toys R Us has 40% off all stock because their lease is ending. But before you get too excited, there are very slim pickings. Lots of Cars lego (although I'm pretty sure most was marked above RRP) and the two most overpriced Pirates of the Caribbean sets (whitecap bay and the tavern one) had a few copies on the shelf, plus the crowds were horrible. However, there were plenty of Lego games, so if you're into them it might be worth a visit.
Kha-khees Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 In the herald sun today a big W ad stated 30% off selected lego as a preboxing day sale. Stopped by a store on the way home, no marking on the shelves and I didn't feel like carrying every set I was interested in back and forth to a scanner. Does anyone know more?
jamonlego Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 saw the same thing - just had an email - its on-line only now - in store from 26/12
dotmike Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 There's some semi-decent prices there so it's probably worth a look. Probably a good indication of post-Christmas pricing. Kingdoms Mill Village Raid 7189 $68.00 Ninjago Fire Temple 2507 $130.00 Lighthouse Island 5770 $45.44 Star Wars Bounty Hunter Gunship 7930 $55.00 Star Wars Darth Maul's Infiltrator 7961 $90.00 Pharaoh's Quest Golden Staff Guardians 7306 $12.38 Cars 2: Big Ben 8639 $88.00 POTC Isla de la Muerta 4181 $28.00 POTC The London Escape 4193 $68.00 City Space Shuttle 3367 $34.48 Kingdoms King's Carriage Ambush 7188 $48.87 Cars 2 Mack's Team Truck 8486 $50.00 Creator 3 in 1 Apple Tree House Set $50.00 Kingdoms Dragon's Prison 7187 $23.07 Harry Potter Hogwarts 4867 $70.00 Technic Flatbed Truck 8109 $103.60
Belchher Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 I was looking at those earlier today, and some are pretty huge discounts. MVR at $68 is over 40% off RRP, and I would have snapped up a couple, but all the bigger deals are sold out already, guessing they'll stay that way next week as well
Brickus Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Hi, for those who live near Noosa on the Sunshine Coast, the cinema I work at, will be giving away 1 free series 4 minifig, with every childs ticket purchased from the 1st of Jan. We have a glut of them left over from our Kids Christmas Party, gift bags, my boss gave me 2 whole boxes as a Christmas gift because he knows I collect Lego.
jamonlego Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 was just in BIG W garden city, brisbane - the sets they had remaining were also discounted as per online P.S. they had a nice lego stationary caddy for $20

A Kmart store staff member I spoke to last night said 'Lego, we need some.....' their warehouse will be closed over Christmas (of course) and stocks will run low plus no new sets. How are some getting catalogues, my son's Lego Club Christmas package didn't come with said catalogue. Ah, I was wondering which 4 four sets will end up being Target, BigW/Myer, Kmart and finally TRU....yay. Not happy, no this tiger is not happy.

Just to let you know there is an accompanying apology letter in the envelope from LEGO: "Hi there LEGO Club Member We're sorry that we couldn't send you the 2012 LEGO Catalogue with the December issue of LEGO Club Magazine......" It even comes in a smaller envelope with "Special Delivery" blazed across the front.

Edit - less than a minute after writing this above.....a green package sat in the letter box....I need a drink.....ah, white wine save me ! Edited December 22, 2011 by lightningtiger

I know, my LEGO Magazine didn't have one either, I'm sure everyone will get one soon, the letter inside wasn't addressed to me personally, it seemed mass produced.

Last I heard they were Jan release too - or are we getting another Pharaoh's Quest shafting?
