DrWeevil Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I'm most likely going to order the new Town Hall modular in the next week - if you are in MELBOURNE and would like to save on shipping I am happy to organise a group buy - send me a PM and I can add another to my order. Pick up from East Melbourne.
marvinblue Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Fishpond.com.au have some good deals at the moment. Just ordered the new recycling truck for $26 with the PayPal fee and free shipping! They reckon it'll be here between the 13th and 22nd of March.

Hey marvinblue, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but it looks like they used the wrong pic and you'll actually get the garbage truck. Fishpond listed it as set 4432 Garbage Truck but used Recycle Truck picture.

They reckon it'll be here between the 13th and 22nd of March. I just goto website to have a look.. however that's problem!!! Yes - it's saying Lego Recycle Truck for $25.97.... however the Lego number is wrong - Recycle Truck is 4206 The website is showing 4432 - which is Garbage Truck only... maybe you need to double check what you will get it first...this is my advice..
marvinblue Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Hey guys! Thanks for the heads-up! That's something that I should've checked first!! I'll send them an email and see what they say. If it's not the Recycle Truck then I'll politely ask for my money back.
Dr Rod Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Hey guys! Thanks for the heads-up! That's something that I should've checked first!! I'll send them an email and see what they say. If it's not the Recycle Truck then I'll politely ask for my money back. Fishpond are quite notorious for lying about their shipping times. I ordered a couple of sets about 3 weeks ago that were "in stock ships within 24hrs". Both items went through the normal "We are having problems sourcing the items" crap, they offer to let you cancel. My advice is not to cancel, unless you are in a rush. I always figure the items will take about 3 weeks from Fishpond and only buy when I can get 25% discount. Dr Rod
marvinblue Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Just picked up the Friends City Cafe from Big W for $38.84. This time I got what I paid for!! I was quite impressed with their range and pricing. Target had the same item for $47. I'll put a review up soon at ANZFOL.
Brickmamba Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Anyone seen the dc funhouse set in shops anywhere in oz yet?
lightningtiger Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Good news.....Target 20% off toys again time from the 7th of March plus a Friends promo at TRU....cafe down to 39.95 add into that the TRU truck at 59.99 (10 bucks off).
jonwil Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 damn, why must this sale come at the time when I am out of money and have just spent $50 or so on Bricklink orders? :( Not that there is much at Target I actually want to buy (Friends house is probably the only thing I am interested in)
Notorious Guf Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Sydney Opera House Architecture Set is now at David Jones - $59.95.. There were others too..
Delta 38 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Good news.....Target 20% off toys again time from the 7th of March plus a Friends promo at TRU....cafe down to 39.95 add into that the TRU truck at 59.99 (10 bucks off). Yay, finally a sale. Due to the impending LotR theme, I've been avoiding all purchases outside of sales, so I'll probably go crazy on the weekend. On another topic, does anyone know when or where the Darth Vader desk lamp will be released? I've only seen miscellaneous products (clocks etc.) at Myer so far. Edit: Also, what happened to the Naboo Starfighter? Has it even been released here? Edited March 6, 2012 by Delta 38
lightningtiger Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Kmart has the lame sale of the week, just 3 dollars off battle packs and 7 bucks off the city 4x4 fire truck. Edit - I might the lame statement back, Batman Catwoman set 20 bucks and police pursuit 17 bucks (24.99 rrp). Edited March 6, 2012 by lightningtiger
Hewman Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 The Maersk ship is back for sale on shop at home and at 20% off, making it $136. I also noticed that the Town Hall is the top seller. It just goes to show what happens when a big set is priced reasonably. Also the Opera House is in the top 10.
Artanis I Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 With the Target 20% off starting tomorrow, the catalogue includes the new games City Alarm & Battle For Hoth. (Yes, the Star Wars one that won't be released in the US... so there should be plenty of Americans keen to buy this one via BL hint hint .)
Clone-Trooper Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 With the Target 20% off starting tomorrow, the catalogue includes the new games City Alarm & Battle For Hoth. (Yes, the Star Wars one that won't be released in the US... so there should be plenty of Americans keen to buy this one via BL hint hint .) Not released in the US? I find that very very very very very difficult to believe!!!!! With a population of 300 million and them having to pay half the price for Lego then the rest of us I do find it difficult to believe that it won't be released in the USA.

I believe it's to do with Lego not having the rights to release Star Wars board games over there. I'm sure TLG is a bit bummed, it would definitely sell like hothcakes ( )
Ouchkabibbles Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Mill Village Raid 7168 for only $57.60 @ BIG W, online only. Beerluminati posted on the Whirlpool lego forum that the same set is available in store at Kmart for $49 Edited March 7, 2012 by Ouchkabibbles

Where did you see the Target 20% off advertised? I went into my local target today and there was no sale on.
Hewman Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Where did you see the Target 20% off advertised? I went into my local target today and there was no sale on. One day out, it actually starts on the 8th. Pretty much all sales at Target start on Thursdays. You'll have much better luck tomorrow. I was thinking of grabbing the Vader clock there for $29, but Target Adelaide appears to be sold out even before they were on sale, just a couple stormtrooper ones left on the shelves.

Ooohhh did we have an Aussie Sales user crossover at lunch today? I saw someone oggling the Lego today in detail who seemed very AFOL like :)
KartoffelViking Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 PotC Whitecap Bay is $70 now at kmart. City of Atlantis has also dropped to $49 at kmart (same as the Village Mill Raid), but the hoarders/resellers have already raided my local kmart
jonwil Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Anyone seen any really good deals on the POTC London Escape or is 20% off the best you can get on that set?
