Hemish Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Did the run arounds to a few target stores and just couldnt get myself to drop the money on the more expensive heroes sets I did pick up the new garbage truck and a starwars set Just to check my curiosity I also went back to logan kmart and they had dropped the price on the POTC sets some more The Mill was now $35 and Cannibal set was $30 much better so I nabbed them both

jonwil Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Picked up the Tie Fighter from Target and the Recycle Truck from K-Mart (after realizing that its unlikely that either set will go below their current price any time soon and how good both sets are) Gotta stop buying so much stuff :P
lightningtiger Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Gotta stop buying so much stuff :P NO, it's too late for you.....more is better ! There appears to be plenty recycle truck sets at Kmart stores I visited, brought mine tonight.....funny thing is even though its on sale - NO special price tag for it unlike the other non-exclusive Lego sets which all have red special price tags - why ? Could it be that they don't want to sell too many of these 10 bucks less than normal eh ?
jonwil Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) The K-Mart I was at (Carousel) had a special tag which listed the price but didn't list that it was a discount. If I hadn't checked the tag underneath it and the Shop @ Home RRP, I wouldn't have realized that it was on discount. Oh yeah also, Toys R Us had the NinjaGo Wrecking Ball crane set in stock (I believe its a TRU exclusive) Edited March 29, 2012 by jonwil
DrWeevil Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Picked up my Architecture Opera House from DJs today. It's pretty ugly but probably the only rendition we're likely to see. Probably still not worth it at 20% off either!
lightningtiger Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Target Elizabeth has some of those exclusive police truck & boat/trailer combo sets.....25% off came in handy.....51.75 it cost me in the end.
WetWired Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Kmart are at it again Went to Logan in QLd, got the Starwars Mandalorian battle packs at $9 Pirates of the carribean sets $9 for the captains cabin, fountain of youth and isle de muerta were both $19 and the mill was $45 Alien conquest are also marked down Harry potter bus was $39 and the older ninjago sets are discounted too, waiting a bit for them to drop a bit more on them Finally made my way there this weekend, I mainly wanted the captains cabin set but they were all out :( all the other items you mentioned were still in stock though and discounted. I ended up just heading to springwood target and picked up the last droid escape set for $29.25 after the 25% off, my first ever star wars set...I mainly wanted an R2 and some storm troopers and it seemed like the best set to get (I missed out on the lukes landspeeder a few years back when it was $35 at big w)
Brickus Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Myer will be having a sale starting Thursday, I haven't seen the catalog but the cashier lady told me there would be some of the new technic sets discounted.
lightningtiger Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Just noticed at Lego S@H that 3677 is on sale for only 199......odd, I hope it's not being discontinued ? Edit - Target 25% off toys continues until the 9th of this month.....ha, auto-correct isn't going to get me here ! Edited April 1, 2012 by lightningtiger
Splat Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) This months promotion at Lego S@H is a free reusable Lego Tote Bag if you spend over $99. This bag actually doesn't look too bad, and it folds up into a nice little '2x2 plate' package. I'm still hoping that they have another 'May the Forth' promotion next month with free shipping to Australia like they did last year - free shipping makes buying from Pick A Brick a lot better value. Fingers crossed. Edited April 10, 2013 by Splat
Civic Bossman Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Saw a clearance tag at K-Mart Belmont (WA) for Cars Spy Jet Escape for $8!! Alas there was no stock. Nor at Maddington, Cannington or Armadale.
jonwil Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Do we know when the Marvel sets are scheduled to hit? I suspect Target will not be putting them on the shelf before the end of the sale even if they do get stock in time :)

lightningtiger Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I was talking to the LEGO Rep at Target and she said May. Bad planning on Lego's part I say, Haspro already has their Avengers stock out in Target....when will Lego learn.

WetWired Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Anyone know if\when we'll start seeing the town hall in retail like david jones, myer or toys r us?
jonwil Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 If it follows previous years, the Town Hall will be a David Jones exclusive and will appear sometime later in the year (much closer to xmas)

jonwil Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Anyone know of Australian RRP prices for Lord Of The Rings, Marvel Super Heroes or Monster Fighters? It sucks that the Marvel sets wont be on the shelf when the film opens later in the month :( I do wonder how much of this is TLG corporate making decisions about where to send product, how much is LEGO Australia deciding when to release stuff and how much is retailers deciding when they want new product...

They used to be on the Mr Toys website but now they don't list upcoming lines unit they are released.
lightningtiger Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 They used to be on the Mr Toys website but now they don't list upcoming lines unit they are released. I think they might have got into trouble with some big company.....no guesses who right ?
KartoffelViking Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Anyone know of Australian RRP prices for Lord Of The Rings, Marvel Super Heroes or Monster Fighters? There's some info at BricksDownUnder, but I'm not sure how accurate it is.
Hewman Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 There's some info at BricksDownUnder, but I'm not sure how accurate it is. Those prices match with all the ones I took note of from Mr Toys while back. However, their early listed prices haven't always been 100% correct. I'm hoping MOnster Fighters are right though because they're not too bad with a 20% off sale.
