lorax Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 My husband found a 8639 (Cars - Big Bentley Bust Out) for $32 at David Jones. We would never even think about it at its original $130, but $32 suited us (and we have a small human who loves it).

melike75 Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 K-Mart had them for $25 on clearance weeks ago. Shows how inflated the RRP was! Darn. That would have gone down real well at our house. And thanks Jonwil for the updates..will have to go out there tomorrow. Was at Target at Bullcreek today and they had the new star wars sets ..but not the malevolence and the other cool ship..I don't remember what it's called. No r2 though.
DrWeevil Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Quick question: is the Super Heroes Funhouse set at $74.95 worth it? Probably the cheapest it'll be available for here in Aus but I'm still not convinced it's worth it at $75 (TRU with a $10 premium on aus rrp - 25% discount)... Thoughts from anyone who shelled out for it and is picky about what they spend their Lego money on? Or who has seen it in person? I cant help but think it looks a little anaemic, but it's the one set I don't have in that first wave so....
kaykay Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Today only at Myer Buy 2 Toys get the third free. To save time for those looking for LOTR sets, all sold out at MYER Sydney and may be restocked next week. Which will be too late for the buy 2 get 1 free promotion. :P
distortme Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Today only at Myer Buy 2 Toys get the third free. Myer are using this to clear old stock I reckon. Just seeing little new stock move onto the shelves. Toy Sale will probably be when it all appears.

I think $74.95 is worth it, it's a good set.
TeufelHund Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 I picked up a bunch of LOTOR sets today at 25% off from Toys R US Madura Park. They had all sets save the Orc Forge there when I visited, which is probably a Target Exclusive like in the US. They also had all the new SW sets save the exclusives. Just be careful - even though my receipt says a 25% discount I was actually only given a 16.66% discount on one transaction for some reason. They have a deal where you get a free 32x32 Green or Blue baseplate at the moment if you spend more than $80 on Lego, so I ended up with 2 x Green and 1x Blue after getting them to put transactions through as seperate purchases.

Did you buy anything that is in their current sale promotion with the 25% discount coupon? ie Jabba's palace that is listed as being $179 on sale rather than the $199 RRP - so if it was 25% off RRP that may account for only the 16.66% off the sale price?

No - sale items don't work with the coupon.
Majoza77 Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Chatswood TRU has Gandalf Arrives in case anyone is looking for it. Picked up one today with 25% off discount, $17.25. Also got Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape, so got the free baseplate with it.
hiroki Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 That Myer in Top Ryde still has the VW Camper, Tower Bridge and a Jabba's palace. LOTR I saw were the Uruk-Hai Army and Attack on Weathertop.
melike75 Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Has anyone seen the Shelob set in Perth yet? Nope, only seen the larger sets, still need that and weather top..
dogfin Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 I paid full price for mine and I'm happy with it. I think $74.95 is worth it, it's a good set. I just grabbed the Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape(I'm looking at it right now) using the 25% off coupon and I think $75 is worth it. I didn't realise Toys R Us were also giving a free base plate if you spent over $50 on Lego so I was quite pleased with my shop at Toys R Us today. I also ended up grabbing some Lego bag tags and led lights. There were a heap of LOTR sets at Majura Park Toys R Us. I went to David Jones as well in Canberra City and there were a few sets marked down (sorry I can't remember which ones). I'm still on the lookout for the Modular Pet Store but no luck!
eli_77 Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Today only at Myer Buy 2 Toys get the third free. Darn, missed this one. Any idea when the next Myer 3 for 2 sale will be?

Go back to David jones. Ask them to check if they can get one from another store. The store I got mine from had at least another one. I did his for millennium falcon last year and it took a week to come in but still got it t the reduced price. Didn't cost any extra to get it either.

jamonlego Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 TRU garden city (Brisbane) had LOTR shelob, urakhai and helms deep , as well as sith fighter and gungan sub, all 25% off
distortme Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Due to impatience with Myer Adelaide getting their me SW stock sorted, I went to Target in Adelaide and got them to price match TRU's 25% off toys making Jabba's Palace @ $150. Pretty easy with no calls to a TRU so if you're sneaky they may do a UCS R2 for 25% off...
lightningtiger Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) I popped into TRU at Tea Tree Plus, grabbed 9469 Gandalf Arrives @ just under 23 bucks.....I asked the staff member at the register about any discount on Lego....another staff member quickly zapped a hidden bar code and pop....up came 25% off. Now we are talking just over 17 bucks for this set....sweet. Sitting down right now making it ! Edit - I forgot Toyworld at Parafield had the joust 199.95 and winter post office 109.95 sets in stock.....I slapped a post office on lay-by. Edited June 9, 2012 by lightningtiger
MicroM Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 TRU garden city (Brisbane) had LOTR shelob, urakhai and helms deep , as well as sith fighter and gungan sub, all 25% off You did better than me up there. The 25% of Helm's Deep would not process for me - looks like when they say not on specials the system sorts it out. You got well lucky. I did notice the minifigures are a good deal - as I got 25% off them as well as the reduction for Buy 2 for $12 - Seems it processes 25% off the $4.99 price, then gives a reduction at the end of $2.97 (which is the 3 for $12 deal). Again though maybe I just got lucky, seems all a bit random.

Looks like I'm going back to David Jones.
