Alien24 Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Dam it, skipped over this......pity I didn't know what time you'll be there ? I'm going to call the other Myer stores tomorrow to see what they might have in SA. No set time... just if there were people interested, I can be there anytime. (TTP is close by for me)
jonwil Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 does anyone have local release dates for the following: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2013 Friends sets (magic tricks, pop star stage, animal houses) 2013 Creator sets (mini sports car, mini jet, eagle, white sports car, small house) City High Speed Chase (with the dark blue pickup truck) City Fire Station City Fire Truck City Cement Mixer
Kristel Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 does anyone have local release dates for the following: Most of these are now up on the LEGO shop at home site, so hopefully not long before we see them more widely in local stores. Didn't see any TMNT or the high speed chase one online.
frumpy Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Most of these are now up on the LEGO shop at home site, so hopefully not long before we see them more widely in local stores. Didn't see any TMNT or the high speed chase one online. They are up online now (TMNT etc). At least this gives us the prices now.
jonwil Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 The markup (vs the USA) on the City and Creator isn't too bad but the markup on the TMNT sets is as bad as other licensed films.
Luke_likes_Lego Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Hi All, Anyone know where to get modular Town Hall in Tassie: Cheers, LLL
jonwil Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Since its a David Jones exclusive, your easiest option is to buy it from David Jones online (as of right now its $239.99 plus shipping)
shawn_low Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) New to the forums. Sudden AFOL convert out of my Dark Ages (grew up building old Castle sets) focusing on UCS Star Wars and soon modulars (anyone wanna trade their Fire Bridgades, Town Hall for my spare Grand Emporium and Pet Shop?) Anyway, if you're in Victoria, some Star Wars stuff on sale at some Kmarts. Your mileage may vary. Not sure if sale is outside of Victoria. 9496 Desert Skiff $35 9497 Republic Striker-class Starfighter $59 7915 Imperial V-Wing Starfighter $29 7956 Ewok Attack $39 9516 Jabba's Palace $129 The marked-down tags didn't put the RRP but from memory, I think the Skiff is $50 (can you say RIP OFF!?). So roughly 25% off. Edited January 3, 2013 by shawn_low
lightningtiger Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 TRU at Tea Tree Plus has some of the 2013 Ninjago and City sets......guess what though the same ones Myer has......sounds like supply problems with Lego Australia again. Oh, yeah....on checking that City set with the helicopter and hideout is a TRU exclusive in the USA so guess what......again.
Darth Malgus Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Imagine the markup on that product, a shame that ver few other retailers grab the exclusives as they are shown.
lightningtiger Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Imagine the markup on that product, a shame that ver few other retailers grab the exclusives as they are shown. On the MrToys website in Queensland it has only 7 city sets listed........3 great vehicles, 3 elite police and 60002 fire truck....which is priced the same as the great vehicles series so it might count as a sub-theme cross over. So now if they only have seven listed......that's a total of 7 left as exclusives.......though usually TRU gets 1 or 2, and one each to Target, Kmart plus maybe BigW or Toyworld (that one is usually midyear though). Perhaps the majority of the fire sets might be like in 2010....released midyear......dam it, no catalogue until later in the month. Edited January 3, 2013 by lightningtiger
lostdriveway Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 It was my 30th yesterday and even though I did very very well with LEGO from my wife (Grand Emporium, Mining Truck, Tipper Truck, and Robbers Hide Out) - I still wanted to check out some of the stores on the Gold Coast for the 2013 sets and I must say its like the LEGO apocalypse has hit and the shelves are very bare! A handful of 2012 vehicles and the big police helicopter set was basically all I could find! Hoping the stock hits soon!
Schpeedy Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Anyone know where we can grabPre Vizsla's Mandalorian Starfighter 9525 in Aus? Been looking for a while. But can't seem to find it..
Artanis I Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Anyone know where we can grabPre Vizsla's Mandalorian Starfighter 9525 in Aus? Been looking for a while. But can't seem to find it.. Kmart. I haven't seen it anywhere else, so it must be exclusive to them. That also means you probably won't get it at a decent discount price, as Kmart seems to have stopped having decent sales. The best I've seen it at is $69, but usually $89. I really only want his minifig, but BL has a rather high asking price, so...

lightningtiger Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I just popped into Toy Corner as the Ipec truck was leaving.......I saw boxes marked fire truck, tanker truck, flatbed truck and cement truck.......and they got their 15% off sale still going.
jonwil Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Great, hopefully the new fire station and fire truck show up here in the west soon, I want to buy em so I can start work on some fire MOCs of my own :)
shawn_low Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Is it OK to post deals and sales for Aussie-based online stores? Ie: Shopforme etc? There are some OK deals on some of them. Saves the hassle of shipping from overseas or getting into your car and driving to the nearest brick and mortar store.
jamonlego Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Myer Brisbane city were unpacking chima sets and some new friends at lunch today Edited January 4, 2013 by jamonlego
Kristel Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. Will let you know what new sets they have stocked.
shawn_low Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Anyone know if David Jones in Melbourne have decent stock of any modulars? I have some Gift Cards to use and 20% off sounds like it might make it a Lego purchase!
shawn_low Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Popped by Kmart and some further offers noted: KMart are doing a clearance on some Lego at the moment. 4207 City Garage $99 7498 City Police Station $99 6869 Avengers Aerial Battle $99 SW Hoth Lego Game $35 The City sets are pretty close to US RRP and worth picking up if you're into City.
jonwil Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Has anyone seen any good deals on the Hulk Helicarrier set? I have had my eye on it for a while but there is no way I am paying $99 for a set that only costs $49 in the US...
DrWeevil Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I'd have a look around at the various Aussie online retailers if the overseas ones aren't a valid option. Finding one in store might be tricky now its run is close to an end with the new sets coming out. Shopforme have it for 15% off at the moment, not sure about OuterRim etc. Still not a great price though, I'll admit.
lightningtiger Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Oh, I forgot to say the other day......Batman sets appear in next month.....from one of my many sources. Edit - here's an odd thing......BTTW, Toy Corner and MyToys all have the same sets listed....of course MrToys has the police chase set with it's exclusive minfig in it......just 6 (7 - MrToys) city sets to start with. Truly an odd start to the year folks..... Edited January 5, 2013 by lightningtiger
