EvMan Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Hola! Using the Big W iPhone app (with latest update) scan the Vampyre Hearse. It brings up the photo and details of the Vampyre Castle with the price of the Vampyre Hearse ($44). Obviously a data entry error on Big W's part. The store manager didn't want to give me the castle at $44. I argued that their own app clearly depicted photos and a description of the Vampyre Castle priced at $44 and that I would be taking the matter to the ACCC. He relented at the threat of the ACCC being involved and gave me the set for $44. I'm with djanscak. If you'd scanned the Vampyre Castle and the price was wrong, fair cop, but you scanned the Vampyre Hearse and the app returned the price of the Vampyre Hearse. EvMan Edited August 19, 2012 by EvMan
distortme Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Myer has buy 2 get 1 free until Tuesday 28th. Stocked with Monster Fighters and new Spider-Man sets in Adelaide. Checked the fine print - excludes Lego. Bah!

jonwil Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Only deal I saw in MYER Perth today was the 2-for-1 on boardgames (but that does include LEGO boardgames from what I could see)
lightningtiger Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 This weeks big deal is with TRU...... Buy 4 minifigs get one FREE ! Lego City Great Vehicles range all 24.99 each ! Lego City Mine 99.95 ! Lego City Mine Dump Truck or Transporter 39.99 each ! PLUS spend $50 or more on Lego CITY and score a free forest fire ATV worth 7.95 ! Starts on the 22nd of August !
emancipist007 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I dunno. I like a bargain as much as the next person but I wouldn't be comfortable with demanding an item at less than cost price because of what's probably an honest mistake. Woolworths makes millions of dollars profit a year ripping off hard-working Australians. I've got no qualms over getting one over them. Besides, when I was a manager for them I was working 70 hours a week quite often and only getting paid for 40 hours. Payback's a bitch!
ChrisW Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 This weeks big deal is with TRU...... Buy 4 minifigs get one FREE ! I'm jumping the gun a bit, but would TRU have Series 8 yet? I'm thinking it might be September before we get them here in Aus though.

Don't get me wrong, I know the big corporates have a lot to answer for but I don't think I'd be able to be so assertive. Thanks for sharing. Edited August 21, 2012 by djanscak
jonwil Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Finally found the Monster Fighters mad scientist at the Toys R Us in Innaloo, I suggest if you want it, Toys R Us is the most likely place to find one at this point.
MicroM Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Wondering if anyone has seen the Friends Horse related items. Kit # 3186 looks great - have they hit retail as yet ?? Thanks.
DrWeevil Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) For those who haven't picked up a MF Zombies set from Big W for $58 yet, or don't live near one or live in the shopforme free delivery zone, you may want to check out their daily blitz, as they have the zombies set for $56, which is 20% off RRP. http://www.shopforme.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_115&products_id=689 Edited for iPhone typo Edited August 25, 2012 by DrWeevil
leng jai Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 What on earth is going on with the Crazy Scientist set?

jonwil Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Anyone know who has the store-exclusive Dino ocean set?
OzBen Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Im looking forward to the Haunted House 10228 coming out, anyone heard what chain will be carrying it? I prefer to pick it up from a store and avoid the outrageous S@H shipping costs...... Cheers Ben

slopemodified Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Where would be the best place to buy the SW Planet sets? Are there any promotions going on at the moment, or later this week? I'm thinking of going to Big W, where they're available for $14.64 each.

I'm thinking of going to Big W, where they're available for $14.64 each. Wait for a Myer Buy 2 toys get 1 free. Hard to beat that locally I'd think. However I reckon if anything is going to get cleared for a low price it'll be these. Most stores seem to have a lot of stock.
Brickus Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Has anyone seen the price of the Ghost Train at a Mr Toys Toyworld. The website says $89.99 but is it the same in store? Also has The Crazy Scientist and His Monster set been spotted anywhere else apart from Toys R Us. Edited August 29, 2012 by Brickus
Merlict Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Wait for a Myer Buy 2 toys get 1 free. Hard to beat that locally I'd think. However I reckon if anything is going to get cleared for a low price it'll be these. Most stores seem to have a lot of stock. Myer currently have a deal where you get $10 extra value when you buy $100 of gift cards. They last a year, might be a good time to stock up if you think you'll use them at Xmas etc
shnake Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Target have the 7189 "Mill Village raid" for $54.83 That is less than half price!!
jonwil Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Spotted Palpatines Arrest in the Toys R Us in Cannington today. Also, anyone who wants the monster fighters Crazy Scientist set, Toys R Us has it right now at $10 off.
Artanis I Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) K Mart has stocked up big time, Friends horse trailer set is in ($29), but all the other new Friends sets are sold out already! (Still no sight of the riding camp or stable though.) Also have Dino, new Creator & Spider-Man sets. Also has The Crazy Scientist and His Monster set been spotted anywhere else apart from Toys R Us. Now at K Mart. $69, down from $79.99 on S@H. They also finally have the Swamp Creature set ($12) but ALL other MF sets are gone gone gone! Must be popular... I suppose there has been a long wait for this line to appear. Edited August 31, 2012 by Artanis I
jonwil Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Got a report from another forum that the big technic sets (including the 4x4 crawler with the new power functions bits) are in stock at TRU.
