hollisbrick Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) I saw power miners at Target, all of them ButI didn't buy any, I got Folie A Deux by Fall out boy instead Edited February 26, 2009 by hollisbrick
MicroM Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks for the heads up on DJ's, that is a good deal. Hopefully they have some in stock at my DJ's. I bought a few BP's at KMart when they had 15%, knew I should have waited. Oh well.
Darth_Legois Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 David Jones has a "Buy one toy, get another of equal or lesser value for 50% off" scheme on until March 8. So if you're looking to stock up on CW battlepacks, that's like 25% off. Hmm that sounds good, Thanks for the heads up. To bad DJ's doesnt get the Solar Sailor. I might finally get some much-needed road plates. Since my DJ's doesnt have much else that interesting..
Svelte Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 10190 Market Street is now showing as Sold Out at Shop at Home. I always meant to pick up an extra but never got round to it. Nooooooo! I wonder if this means the demise of Cafe Corner is approaching.
keetong Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I don't know if anyone use bricklink, but they got some old SW on Ozparts at cheap prices. Toycorner has also got some good deals on minifigures
Hewman Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I don't know if anyone use bricklink, but they got some old SW on Ozparts at cheap prices. Toycorner has also got some good deals on minifigures I assume you know they're both owned by the same guy? Fortunately I live a 15 minute drive from Ozparts (ok I have no idea why I felt the need to share that, but I wasn't meaning to rub it in!)

Yeah I knew, but they have different stock, your heaps lucky to live 15mins away, wish I did
TheDarkness Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I emailed Lego about the Separatist Spider Droid, which I have been wanting for awhile. Supposedly will have another batch mid to late March, which means I can finally look at getting all the pieces for my Geonosis diorama

Svelte Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Target has 20% off Lego from Thursday. Looks like they have Power Miners in stock now as well. I got the Thunder Driller ages ago from S@H but I'm afraid the rest do nothing for me.
Siegfried Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I got the Thunder Driller ages ago from S@H but I'm afraid the rest do nothing for me. I bought Thunder Driller from Target yesterday... My S@H order arrived today (rather bashed up) so I'll be having trouble persuading the wife to take advantage of this sale!

I for one know one (in SA) is in the Port Adelaide Sunday markets... Regards, Cpt. PB

Regards, Cpt. PB Most bricklink stores don't have a physical outlet. Toy Corner is at Modbury near the Hungry Jacks opposite Tea Tree Plaza. In other news I just went to my local toyworld during my lunch break and they have a lot of last year's star wars sets including battle packs which are getting hard to find. They also had the sandcrawler and a couple Belville sets. All at full RRP, but still less than you'll pay for them elsewhere now that they're hard to find. Oh and they had the two pirate impulse sets too, $5.99 though which I thought was $1 above RRP but I could be wrong. Edited March 2, 2009 by hewman
Svelte Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Breaking news! Farm is here! (Sorry, my little heart just leapt into my chest as I've been waiting for Farm sets to be available from S@H forever!) 7637 Farm - AUD $129.99 - not bad at all 7636 Combine Harvester - $59.99 - ridiculously good price - I was expecting $80 considering the US version 7635 4WD with Horse Trailer - $34.95 - not bad considering the US price 7634 Tractor - $17.99 - probably the worst of the lot, but who cares? It's the smallest set! Yay! Farm is here! *svelte_corps does a little ho-down*

Svelte Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Nice find, there wasn't anything obvious to show they were up, but after a few keyword searches, voila, there they were. I usually search by set number; the database seems to reference those first, rather than theme or set name. I'm surprised as new sets don't normally appear on S@H mid-afternoon, Australian time - they seem to pop up overnight, like mushrooms
I Scream Clone Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks to svelte_corps recommendation, I managed to snap up two 4954 Creator houses that were discontinued mid 08. Beautiful parts packs at a bargain price of $89 from Big W. DJ's have 3 left in the whole country so I wasn't able to get the second 50% off. (1 in central sydney and 2 in QLD)

I bet the three remaining DJs ones will disappear shortly now

(1 in central sydney and 2 in QLD) i was in the town hall dj yesterday. i didn't see it though. i think myer also dropped town plan. dont see any on the shelves.
Svelte Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 i was in the town hall dj yesterday. i didn't see it though. i think myer also dropped town plan. dont see any on the shelves. Myer probably just brought in a limited quantity of Town Plan for the July sales, and it took that long to sell them. Most retailers only do get a certain amount of the (previously) exclusive or hard to find sets for the special big sales. The Eiffel tower didn't last nearly as long as Town Plan. I think DJs did restock Cafe Corner when Green Grocer came in, but that seemed to be the exception rather than the rule.
TheDarkness Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I am placing a S@H order tonight, so if anyone is after any magnet sets, or other sets, let me know and I will see what I can do.
natelite Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I am placing a S@H order tonight, so if anyone is after any magnet sets, or other sets, let me know and I will see what I can do. how much are you asking for 1 magnet set? i'm kinda interested in the spongebob set but can probably wait until later in the year to make an order.
TheDarkness Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 For Aussies, I am only after original price, a small contribution to the shipping costs to me, and then whatever it costs to send.
hollisbrick Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I got Mining mech from Target today! Pretty sweet
