Artanis I Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Has anybody heard anything about a local release for the Monster Fighters Haunted House set? I keep waiting and waiting and waiting.... Probably next year. (Okay, so now that's a given, but I would've said that from the beginning.) I don't know why they do it like that though. It's really annoying for people like me not in a big metro area (as I can't get to a DJ, TRU or Big W) so it really matters where these kind of sets are released, and not knowing in advance if I'll be able to get it cheaper at eg Myer or Target, I don't want to pay full price + postage from S@H. It would be really good to know release dates, and availability for exclusive sets & themes.
MicroM Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 I feel the pain about the exclusives - however LEGO seem now to have a number of deals where free shipping is offered. And if you join the VIP Club you can get done decent credits. Just this year I had the SSD and Haunted House b I feel the pain about the exclusives - however LEGO seem now to have a number of deals where free shipping is offered. And if you join the VIP Club you can get done decent credits. Just this year I had the SSD and Haunted House both shipped free and around $30 off due to credits. In fact I'll be spending Christmas night with the Haunted House :).
BrickAl Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 For boxing day only Myer have 60% off the second item when you buy two toys. DJs have 20% off Lego, not sure of the end date.
lostdriveway Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Pretty lame Boxing day for LEGO - only Myer and DJ's having some form of sale!

In fact I'll be spending Christmas night with the Haunted House :). I used to have that same train of thought - I bought the Town Hall that way and then followed it up with R2D2, mistakenly believing it wouldn't be out here for ages like all of the other "Exclusives" - when less than a month later to my dismay Target had it for $50 less. I felt so ripped off by that I swore I wouldn't get 'sucked in' by TLG and S@H again! Hence, I wait with ever decreasing patience! That said, I did manage to get the Town Hall before the price increase and with double VIP points so I suppose that was something...
Artanis I Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Pretty lame Boxing day for LEGO - only Myer and DJ's having some form of sale! Indeed. For boxing day only Myer have 60% off the second item when you buy two toys. Although the best you can do with that is 30% off, it sounds like an incredible deal! Let's just say I snapped up the big Hobbit sets - $200 down from $270. I feel the pain about the exclusives - however LEGO seem now to have a number of deals where free shipping is offered.

frumpy Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Myer sale was still on today (27th) sign said it ends today.
DrWeevil Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Re: Haunted House. I picked one up from Mighty Ape this morning for $188 + $5 delivery. This made it approx 30% off Aussie retail and about the same as US retail not including tax if you bought it over there in person. I was satisfied with that price, as I can't see how I'd be able to get it too much cheaper down the track (famous last words)...
Santaduckz Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Any word on when the Super Heroes set will start turning up?
jonwil Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 I think hell just froze over... I am sitting outside Westfield north lakes in QLD and MYER has 2013 product on the shelf! 1 box Minifigures series 9 (grey bags) Ninjago 70500/1/2 Octan tanker truck police quad bike Young builders princess and fire truck. Even on holidays to another state I can find new stuff :)

KartoffelViking Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Series 9 mini figs also spotted at Myer TTP (Adelaide), and they also had some 2013 city and ninja go sets. Kmart has some nice clearance items too; Jabba's Palace at $129, Uruk-hai army for $39 and cosmic cube for $35. There were others as well.
Kristel Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 I think hell just froze over... I am sitting outside Westfield north lakes in QLD and MYER has 2013 product on the shelf! Yeah! Now the toss up between wanting the new sets as soon as possible and being at the shops during the post-Christmas sales. I was so close to doing a BrickLink order for the S9 CMF, but told myself to be a bit more patient. I did however, order some of the 2013 Friends sets. Do you recall if the new Friends sets were on the shelves?
Tobias_Jay Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Does anyone know when the 2013 stock will hit Victoria?
lightningtiger Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Series 9 mini figs also spotted at Myer TTP (Adelaide), and they also had some 2013 city and ninja go sets. Oh, crap.....just when I was down at Victor Harbour too......by the way nothing new at BigW on Goodwood Road fellow Adelaidians. I now know where I'm going tomorrow morning as long as the wife doesn't find out !

I checked again this evening and could not find this set. Must have sold out?!
shnake Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Myer have the buy 2 toys get 3rd free (of equal or less value) till Sunday (may have been Monday, can't remember what the sign said) These sales are a good way of picking up baseplates and bulk brick.
MicroM Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 These sales are a good way of picking up baseplates and bulk brick. And minfigures - thanks for the tip, I'm off to Myer now !!!!
Hemish Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Just got back from my local Kmart and they had all their starwars sets on special, the Jabbas Palace was too good to pass up at $129, the army builder packs were $15, the skiff was $35, endor ambush I think was also $35 might have been $39
lightningtiger Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Myer TTP have heaps of the police atv 9.95 and museum sets 89.95.......Kmart Firle stacks of city sets on clearance.
Alien24 Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Myer TTP have heaps of the police atv 9.95 and museum sets 89.95.......Kmart Firle stacks of city sets on clearance. Are there 2 other takers in Adelaide to meet me at TTP tomorrow to get a museum set for $60 each? (With the buy 2 get 1 free deal)
Kristel Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Went to Indooroopilly today, but no new City sets or CMF series 9 to be found anywhere. I tried Myer, Kmart, Target and Mr Toys Toyworld. Actually, pretty low on LEGO stocks everywhere. Anyone tried the Brisbane CBD stores yet?
