DarthSion Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 They had it earlier this month but it sold out really fast. Im going down to the GC for a holiday and will go to Pac Fair, Anyone know if their TRU has anything?I know & TRU has to get all[most] the exclusives I think they can hold stuff for 48 hours? Well the bird my sister Michelle spoke to yesterday said they wont hold anything, not even for 20mins to drive there and buy it. Even still, no Lay buy sucks. Still not that it matters, TRU are tight er probably cant say that, cheap skates, i will stick to BigW Kmart and Target and keep getting me 15 and 20% off. Speaking of which, i got Target and BigW leaflets today, no sales there, but havent got Kmart yet.

DAMN. Well, you can pay about $45 more for it off eBay aussie sellers, or pay the $45 postage and guarentee it will turn up (though 2 weeks later than the eBay sellers) Those are your two options.

Thx for your kindly reply. So retailers like TRU and DJ wont sell those set in the future. is that what you mean?
I Scream Clone Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Thx for your kindly reply.So retailers like TRU and DJ wont sell those set in the future. is that what you mean? That's what I was told in an email from TLC. It can only be purchased off S@H. Of course sets like UCS Millennium Falcon were purchased by Kmart, but that was at least a year or more after release, and no guarantee if they will repeat this on a Castle product, when the SW brand is more marketable. Speak with some of the other Brisbane guys who may wish to order one in as well and you could split postage.

You can get 8014 in online shops. http://www.onlinetoys.com.au/Lego-Star-War...k-pr-18252.html I bought from them, them seem OK. Again i point out my hatred for numbers as typing in 8936 and 8937 into bricklink show nothing. You can get 10193 from here. http://bttw.com.au/legoshop/index.php?main...ex&cPath=22 Haven't used them but they take paypal.
I Scream Clone Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Again i point out my hatred for numbers as typing in 8936 and 8937 into bricklink show nothing. That's because those numbers aren't sets. A quick search of S@H and Brickset show those numbers don't exist as sets. Perhaps you have the wrong numbers, what sets are you looking for? You can get 10193 from here.http://bttw.com.au/legoshop/index.php?main...ex&cPath=22 Haven't used them but they take paypal. At the inflated price of $200 plus postage, rather order from S@H and wait a few weeks, and save $20 too.

Mate i think you miss read, I'm not looking for them to buy, it was the user i was quoting was looking for them. I was just trying to help him find somewhere to buy them. And pointing out my hate of using numbers, using this as an example as twice people have used numbers, and used numbers that don't exist.
Whittleberry Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I went to Myer in Melbourne's CBD today...and found these guys! The LEGO section there is well-stocked with most of the start-of-09 sets, but no farm/pirate sets yet. Lots of sets from last year are still around too, except these have been only recently been brought in.

It looks like Lego are putting a bit of effort into promoting Power Miners, even my local K-Mart had a display in a clear plastic cabinet of a few Power Miner sets, it looked pretty nice but nowhere near as impressive as what is in Melbourne Myer.
Siegfried Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I went to Myer in Melbourne's CBD today...and found these guys! Oh my! On a similar note, I just got my LEGO Club newsletter and it had a free Rock Monster Keyring! Anyone else get this?
Darth_Legois Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 It looks like Lego are putting a bit of effort into promoting Power Miners While channel-surfing I saw on Nickelodeon channel they had a promotion where you can win PW sets by going on their site or something. Also those PW Ads on TV look pretty good to. Oh my! I just got my LEGO Club newsletter and it had a free Rock Monster Keyring! Anyone else get this? Nice!, Havnt gotten my newsletter yet though but thanks for the heads up. Anyone know if these are random colours or just the same?
DarthSion Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) I thought lego club was only for Americans like BM. Edited March 20, 2009 by DarthSion
Siegfried Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I thought lego club was only for Americans like BM. Only Brickmaster is US exclusive. LEGO Club is a subset of that and it's largely free. Look in Myers or the back of most catalogs for a application. I've been recieving it for about 2 years and this is my second set; the other was a small fireboat with mini-fig. Anyone know if these are random colours or just the same? That's what I'm hoping to find out! It's my third red so I'll be using him as a keyring. I have no greens yet so I probably would have tried to de-keyring him.... It's probably better that I got a red!
Siegfried Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I've just heard via Lugnet that the farm sets have been spotted in a K-Mart Queensland. This includes the tractor, horse float, harvester, and the farm itself.
Siegfried Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 So what do you get in the lego club?. Not a whole lot. Advance catalogs (since my stores often get none this is a big deal for me), a lame magazine, currently a bionicle comic, stickers, posters and the occasional small LEGO set. But it's free and it's better than a kick in the teeth!
TheDarkness Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 They had 1 Magnaguard set back out at my local K-Mart. As I bought the last lot they had on the shelf on discount, I thought I should leave it for someone else. The new Power Miner sets have taken over alot of our main aisle, pushing the Castle lot aside, and really stand out in those bright green boxes. K-Mart have left the Droid Gunship on the bottom shelf, with the discounted price but it simply isn't selling. I reckon there were 10 boxes of it still and I don't think they have decreased for weeks. Again, no more clopne

BTW I am looking for : 10+(20?i am not sure yet.) B1 Battle Droid (with Straigth Arms) and 10 B2 Battle Droid (The best should be AAT's with launcher's arm) and 1 General Grievous (best should be with cape, even without are welcome) Please feel free to contact with me to talk with the details.

TheDarkness Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) K-Mart have been heavilly discounting both sets, though it depends on your local store EDIT: Space Skulls set at S@H for 39.99. I might look to place an order tonight Edited March 21, 2009 by TheDarkness
Darth_Legois Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 K-Mart have been heavilly discounting both sets, though it depends on your local storeEDIT: Space Skulls set at S@H for 39.99. I might look to place an order tonight Why can't they discount some decent sets?! Although that V19 on sale & discount was great! My local Toyworld still has some Space Skulls and its $60 ea I think, If you just want one you could save like $20 [instead of paying the ridiculous shipping] if you just went to your local Toyworld
DarthSion Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 That Au lego site is rubbish, i joined last night, and still cant log in.
I Scream Clone Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 That Au lego site is rubbish, i joined last night, and still cant log in. Perhaps, instead of rubbishing the guys who are running it, why not contact Darth Legois or Hollisbrick and I'm sure they can help you out. These guys are putting a lot of time and effort into this Aussie site, and I am sure you will enjoy what it has to offer all of us Aussie fans once your login problem is rectified.
Izzy Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 That Au lego site is rubbish, i joined last night, and still cant log in. It's a pity you are having trouble ... I just signed up and it worked immediately. The site looks really good. It will be awesome to get in touch with people who have local knowledge about what is available and cheap right here on our own lovely shores.
