jonwil Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 With all the LOTR reports, why must WA miss out on LOTR :(
Lynx Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Thank you for your thank you! On the basis of your report I went along to Sydney CBD and picked up some discounted LOTR. Sadly for me, I was a bit late and all the Helm's Deeps had gone and I just got the last Weathertop and two of the six Uruk-Hai Armies. I asked the cashier if there were any more sets in storage but he noncommittally said they only had what was on the shelves. Speaking of shelves, they have a huge display of Architecture sets at that store - White House, Brandenberg Gate, Burj Dubai tower, Seattle Space Needle, Guggenheim Museum, Empire State Building, and the unmentionably bad opera house which may or may not be based on this city. So if you were waiting for a discount to get into this series... Too bad about Helm's Deep, but the next sale will be in a few weeks time. And for what it's worth: I actually like Weathertop even more! I'd even go as far as to say, it's my favourite LEGO set ever.
ChrisW Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 With all the LOTR reports, why must WA miss out on LOTR :( I noticed today that TRU Joondalup had both the Helm's Deep and Uruk-Hai army sets. They might've had a third set but I'm not 100% on that. I just wish we'd have the full range already...

I go that's fine, now get me one from the back Edited May 31, 2012 by Darth Draks
MinifigHQ Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 With all the LOTR reports, why must WA miss out on LOTR :( Myer Morley has Helm's Deep and the Uruk-Hai army sets they are hard to find, look for the Lego Head (sorter) They are behind and below them not in plain sight.
distortme Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Aahhhh just got back from 3 weeks in UK and see the Myer sale was today and I had a $40 voucher in my pile of letters too. Must find patience until next sale!

Good to know if MYER happens to have another discount of some sort in the near future with a discount of at least 20% off RRP.
TeufelHund Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Shop for me has some good sales at the moment with a new item going up every hour at the moment. So far they have the UCS R2D2 for 20% off and the Kingdoms Joust for 15% off RRP: http://www.shopforme.com.au/index.php?main_page=page&id=12&zenid=103a4b4e62f5210abe621c9fcfac2f35 The Joust is a great set if you're at all interested in Castle.

chrism Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Good to know if MYER happens to have another discount of some sort in the near future with a discount of at least 20% off RRP. I understand the Myer stocktake sale 'preview' on 5 June has 25 per cent off toys.
distortme Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 I understand the Myer stocktake sale 'preview' on 5 June has 25 per cent off toys. Oooohhhh very promising!!
Delta 38 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 I understand the Myer stocktake sale 'preview' on 5 June has 25 per cent off toys. I just got that in the mail a minute ago. I haven't bought anything for months, so now is a good time. Is this "preview" a one-day sale, or is it an early release for Myer One members? I generally don't go to these things, so I don't know...

Thanks. They're some pretty good deals but they must be working on very slim margins. I assume they're sourcing these sets from overseas but then they'd have to add GST as well which doesn't leave much room for profit. I understand the Myer stocktake sale 'preview' on 5 June has 25 per cent off toys. Thanks for that news chrism, great to know. I swore I wouldn't buy any Star Wars or LotR Lego, but I may have to break that promise to myself. Myer Adelaide had a bunch of SW sets (not many of each though) today but only a couple LotR sets. It will be interesting to see if the shelves are fuller by the 5th. Delta 38, these sales are often just on the night before a stocktake sale. Sometimes they don't start until 5 pm or so. But if you miss out then, there's always the main toy sale later in the month. Edited June 1, 2012 by hewman
hiroki Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Stocktake trading hours for June 5 are up on the Myer site: Special Preview Event Times Edited June 1, 2012 by hiroki
jonwil Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 FYI, Toyworld in Claremont (as of today) has the Winter Post Office in stock (didn't see the price or any other new stock).
lightningtiger Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 S@H for Oz has the 4207 Garage (149.99) and 4429 Helicopter Rescue (89.99) listed as AVAILABLE. No other city sets are up.
KartoffelViking Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Does anyone happen to know if the new Minecraft set will be available in stores in Australia?

DrWeevil Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Does anyone know how much the Zombies set from the Monster Fighters series is going to be here in Aus?
Lynx Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 For anyone in Sydney interested in more Lord of the Rings, Toys R Us Miranda has The Mines of Moria and Gandalf Arrives (at full RRP, however). The sales assistant told me they'll get Helm's Deep on June 6, and it will be a catalogue special (although he didn't know the exact price).
jamonlego Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) apologies if this was mentioned before - Myer has today/tomorrow(Sun) - buy a $100 gift card, get $10 gift card free - got a couple ready for tuesday - hopefully they have some new sets left Edited June 2, 2012 by jamonlego
jonwil Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 If my calculations are correct, Helm's Deep at 25% off plus the $10 discount from the gift card deal makes it only $10 more than the US price and a fair bit cheaper than you could get from any overseas source (bricklink included) once you factor in shipping costs. Now I just have to hope that one of the 6 Perth MYER stores will sell me one on Tuesday :) Anyone seen the Mines of Moria or the Friends bedroom set with the drum kit in Oz yet?
ChrisW Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Anyone seen the Mines of Moria or the Friends bedroom set with the drum kit in Oz yet? Myer Morley had the Mines of Moria set on Friday (although I think they only had 1 or 2 out)...
jonwil Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 ok, sounds like its worth buying 2 of the $100 plus free $10 voucher deals tomorrow then instead of just the one (so I can buy Moria as well as Helms)
Hewman Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Does anyone know how much the Zombies set from the Monster Fighters series is going to be here in Aus? $70 Braaaaains..Zombies@S@H
DrWeevil Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) $70 Braaaaains..Zombies@S@H Thanks Bro, I looked at s@h a couple of days ago but it wasn't up yet. Edit: I see now, you can see the RRP but it's not available yet. Edited June 3, 2012 by DrWeevil
