Alien24 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Isn't this best done via PM? :-) For sure! But you dont get PM until you hit 10 posts it seems... which ironically I did with that post
jonwil Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 For those interested, Big W in Mirrabooka has now stocked with 2013 (same stuff as MYER basically). Only thing I didn't notice is Series 9 (they did have a few boxes of Series 4 though)
DrWeevil Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 On the off chance anybody was still interested, I ended up accepting a $20 store credit from Mighty Ape in consideration of the box damage on my Haunted House. This was in lieu of me sending it back to them for a replacement. I wasn't particularly impressed (I would have preferred money not credit when my issue was their poor service in the first place), but I didn't have much choice. I did make it clear that I thought they need to re-evaluate their packing methods and was told they are looking into improving it (whatever that means, I wouldn't have thought selecting appropriately sized cardboard boxes was rocket science, but what do I know!).
lightningtiger Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I just noticed on MrToys website that the elite police set with Chase McCain in won't be available until the 23rd of this month.....I have been told there are two deliveries to Lego resellers this month.
Evil Stu Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Toys R Us now has Hobbit Barrel Escapes in stock. TRU Belconnen (ACT) had one yesterday, and Majura Park (ACT) had half a dozen. $70 if I recall?...
jonwil Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Toys R Us Innaloo also has stock of the barrel escape FYI.
ChristopherMcL2 Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Target Greensborough are now stocking the Legend of Chima series. So far they only have the smaller sets.
shawn_low Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Been to Kmart, BigW, Myer in various parts of Melbourne and all the Chima stuff is on the shelves. The 2013 City stuff are on the shelves at these retailers too. Ditto Ninjago. Myer has the Friends 2013 stuff too but didn't see it at Kmart or BigW. Target in Western suburbs on Melbourne only had the City Museum Breakout and some new Ninjago but much else.
OzBen Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 anyone know when the new technic sets generally hit the shelves? i got gift cards burning a hole in my pocket!!
frumpy Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I'm hanging out for the new super hero and TMNT stuff to arrive.
lightningtiger Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 BigW at TTP has the usual 2013 city vehicle sets, Ninjago and Chima.....lots of Chima - big and small !
jonwil Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Yeah, I am waiting on Creator, the rest of the City Police and Fire stuff and the Ninja Turtles stuff. mrtoys website has a category entry for Ninja Turtles but no items.
Slobey Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 My second Mighty Ape order came today. Three sets all in good order with no damage. I'll buy from there again......
lightningtiger Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 TRU are offering 20% off Lego Star Wars plus selected Ninjago and Hobbit sets on sale.
Darth Malgus Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Waiting on the SW sets too, although I have organised through a SW forum to get a few, apparently those aren't far away but the wait for a retail release is killing me! Bought my son the new fire truck on Sat at Myer's sale and have to admit it was one of the more enjoyable sets I've seen from city in a long time.
Toaleo Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Ok all just got the 2013 catalogue. Star Wars Sets- Feb, TMNT- March Super Heroes- Feb, Hero factory- March Technic- April
distortme Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Cheers for that. Any word on Creator? Specifically the new Horizon train?
Toaleo Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Creator is February :) No word on Horizon as non of the sets like it and Arkham are in the catalogue :/
frumpy Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 In a way it's nice that some of the sets are delayed a bit. Allow the finances to recovery a bit from Christmas
jonwil Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Any indications in the catalog as to when the rest of the City stuff is due to come out (the fire station in particular but also the other fire sets)
Darth Malgus Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Hate that I have to wait a couple more weeks for Sw sets...
Brickus Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Did the catalog say when the Star Wars Planet sets are coming out? Are series 3 and 4 coming out together or separately? Thanks
Toaleo Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 jonwil in regards to Fire City all that is scheduled for February unlike all the other new city which is January. Brickus: It only lists series 3 and they are out in Feb as well :)
Alien24 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Saw the police chase set at Myers for $40.. Slowly getting the sets in...
