jonwil Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Just got back from MYER Morley. Yes they had LOTR and yes they sold it to me at 25% off. Far as I can recall, they still have one Helms Deep and some of the Uruk-Hai army, I think the Mines of Moria I bought was the last one. They also had at least one London Bridge set. Didn't see any VWs. Don't bother with Perth CBD, they didn't have any stock as of Sunday and probably still don't have any on sale. Toys R Us Morley had the Uruk-Hai army, no sign of any of the others that I saw. Didn't notice anything else new or interesting (wasn't paying attention to Star Wars though so I may have missed it)
Delta 38 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Sheesh, the weather here in Sydney is horrible. I had to use public transport today, too. My local Myer only had a few of Helm's Deep, strangely enough. You'd think the small sets would come out first.
glendo Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Just got back from Myer's at Top Ryde. it was a ghost town, and the shelves were fully re-stocked! LOTR sets are there: helm's deep is the biggest one... and it's part of the sale Jabba's Palace, desert skiff and other new sets were there alongside present sets like the MF etc. the tower bridge was there and on sale, and the kombivan was there. only 2 bridges and 10 kombis available there. i bought Jabba's Palace, desert skiff and 4 minifigs for $201 i really hope DJ's have a lego sale.. they have one set im dying to buy, but not at full price
Brickton Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Well, I just got back from Myer Carindale (Brisbane QLD) and they had....nothing...no LOTR, no Camper van and no new Star Wars either. Furthermore, my contact informed me it is very unlikely there will be a Myer One discount as part of the June toy catalogue....so it looks like it will be this time next year before QLD lego nutters get the same level of discounts as others have enjoyed in the last few weeks. Edited June 5, 2012 by Brickton
distortme Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Not much at Myer Adelaide, one LOTR and two of the new SW sets - Saesee's Fighter and the Skiff. I bought both. Going to try another store for Jabba's later :)
BrettBrick Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Dj's I bought Petshop 10218 $161.97, a couple of small city sets $4.71 and $4.17, A ninjago Lord Garmadon hideout set $71, a LED Lantern $14.95 and some road plates $8.97. They had the Firestation 10197 for $179.40 and there was about 10 of them but I already have that set. I was chatting to the sales assistant who was tring to sign me up for a DJs card to get $100 for free ( how does that work nothing is free ) and she asked if I was worried about the condition of the boxes and I replied I most certainly do. She went on the they had a damaged big set and Lego cant provide a new box for it, would I like it at 60% off. Yes please I said, happened to be a UniMog 8110 for $138 do I bought that too. Myer didnt have to much but I was able to get the new Jabba set at 25% off, and a few Lego books at 40% off, including the Harry potter character guide.
chrism Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 An awesome deal is only if it's in stock, and 80% off their stock appears to be out of stock. Disappointing, they could have advertised it at $99 dollars, but no stock means no one get's one. Some good prices there on the Hillside House ($60) and Lighthouse ($42), and they're still available.

glendo Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) i just went back out again, this time to DJ's (Sydney CBD) and bought both modular buildings. pet store $161 and the fire brigade for $179 now to hide it all from the missus Edited June 5, 2012 by glendo
lightningtiger Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Lucky me....I was looked after by Myers at TTP a few hours ago.....scored Uruk-Hai army for only 44.95 ! (AWESOME little build) Oh, yeah these were out the back being stored for their big sale at the end of the month.....but since I was a good customer they let me have my pick....if I had the money Helm's Deep would have come home too - but cash is very tight again ! They also had the Gungan Sub and the Malevolence in stock for this 25% off tonight.....oh, I wish I had more money !
distortme Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 They also had the Gungan Sub and the Malevolence in stock for this 25% off tonight.....oh, I wish I had more money ! CRAP! I knew I should've gone to TTP. I tried Marion with no luck. Boo hiss. Patience will win out I'm sure. What is the RRP on these two?
lightningtiger Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 CRAP! I knew I should've gone to TTP. I tried Marion with no luck. Boo hiss. Patience will win out I'm sure. What is the RRP on these two? Oops, only priced the Malevolence.....179 bucks !

Hewman Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Some good prices there on the Hillside House ($60) and Lighthouse ($42), and they're still available. Thanks chrism. I picked up a Hillside house at Adelaide DJs today. They had a few. They also had heaps of the yellow Lego trucks for $30 for those interested.
pjchilds Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I picked up a Hillside house at Adelaide DJs today. They had a few. They also had heaps of the yellow Lego trucks for $30 for those interested. Last of the Hillside just got snapped up, lots of the trucks left.
beef Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Last of the Hillside just got snapped up, lots of the trucks left. just got the call from toyworld to say the joust and winter post office are in stock,went and picked them up the joust was $180 and post office was $110,they only had a few of each on the shelf
darkhorse Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Shop for Me have a few decent prices in a Scratch and Dent sale - if you don't need pristine boxes. - VW Camper $127 (25%) - Batcave $85 (35%) - Marvel Quinjet $85 (35%) I picked up the Quinjet - unlikely to see that cheaper anywhere out this way (or even from OS) On ShopForMe - am I missing something here or does this offer look reasonable given the possibility that Myer won't reduce some LotR sets by the full 20% or 25%? (or in the case of the mining states, not available at all?) http://www.shopforme.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_104&products_id=549
qvack Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Picked up weathertop and the uruk army from Myer Adelaide yesterday. The girl behind the counter said they're expecting to get plenty of the other sets before their big sale at the end of the month.
hiroki Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Thank you for the information of the David Jones sale. I just found and bought Anakin's Podracers for $37.95.
glendo Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 i've done my sums, and i bought $866 worth of kits for $546 yesterday (at australian RR prices) $320 saved, which makes one of the modulars a virtual freebee im done until xmas (i hope)
Kha-khees Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Got an email from paypal with a 15 dollar off coupon for shopping on toys r us, except it doesn't seem to work. The code is meant to be toys$15, apparently it isn't case sensitive but always tells me it isn't valid. You have to spend over 50, i've got 55 worth of lego in the cart but no luck. :\ edit: has to be used via TRU's checkout, not the express paypal one. Edited June 6, 2012 by Kha-khees
hiroki Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 This 25% off for Touys R Us this weekend makes buying the Joker Funhouse a little easier to swallow? http://www.toysrus.com.au/secure/downloadfile.asp?fileid=2025017
leng jai Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 This 25% off for Touys R Us this weekend makes buying the Joker Funhouse a little easier to swallow? http://www.toysrus.com.au/secure/downloadfile.asp?fileid=2025017 Pretty awesome if it stacks with the Lego discounts they already had in the cataloh. Is it true that Spongebob sets are a Target exclusive?
TeufelHund Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Pretty awesome if it stacks with the Lego discounts they already had in the cataloh. It doesn't apply to sale items, which is why Helm's Deep and Jabba's Palace are both "on sale" at only 10% off at the moment. Edited June 7, 2012 by TeufelHund
jonwil Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 its a rip-off when a store has a %off all full-priced LEGO and then sells expensive sets at a price that's less than the %off. The trick is to know the RRP of sets and to know whether the discount is actually good value or not (any AFOL who buys the larger LOTR sets at anything less than 20% off for example is getting ripped off)
