Alien24 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Is that basically 20% off? Which we should see soon from the other players? RRP is $40... so it's actually 30% off...
Kye33 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Heading down tomorrow to get some for christmas presents! Did you see the stationary too? The Lego men pens are $5! My kids love them, good stocking fillers too! Edited August 14, 2013 by Kye33

Thanks. I got Myer to price match on the Grand Prix Truck, they just had to check that it didn't go to below cost price for them.
shnake Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Target's 50% off Hobbit sets ends today for those who were thinking of getting any!! Most stores are just down to the Wargs, Mirkwood and Riddle of the RIng sets..
Artanis I Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Most new SW sets in Kmart now, RRPish. Monster Fighters restocked big time, every set except Zombies (which is exclusive to BigW I think). Friends set Mia's Magic Show on clearance for $10. Target's 50% off Hobbit sets ends today for those who were thinking of getting any!! Most stores are just down to the Wargs, Mirkwood and Riddle of the RIng sets.. Yeah mine was down to those 3 on the weekend already... I grabbed a couple to give away, the older lady behind me at the checkout said "you're too big for that stuff", I said "nahh ", she said "my 42yo son is still buying Star Wars things ". The young guy behind her with his girlfriend had some Hobbit sets too, so take that!
SandMirror38 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 GAhHaaAa......hopefully I can go this afternoon..hmmm
Laygo Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 20% off all Lone Ranger Sets at Laygo.....1243 South Rd St Marys, Adelaide. Sale ends this Sunday the 18/8 or until stocks run out. Must mention this add to receive this discount.
jonwil Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 For those in WA, Toyworld in Fremantle has a LOT of stock right now. Including the Super Star Destroyer, Grand Emporium and Kingdoms Joust. No other modulars though. MYER in the CBD has a full load of stock including Horizon Expresses and Mini Modulars (no VWs or Sopwiths though) Bit late since the sale has finished but Target in Fremantle still had the Hobbit Goblin King set when I was there earlier.
Brickus Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) I just heard from a LEGO rep that the final series of planet sets will not be coming to retail in Australia, due to poor performance in sales. Edited Edited August 19, 2013 by Brickus
TeufelHund Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I just heard from a LEGO rep that the final series of planet sets will be coming to retail in Australia, due to poor performance in sales. I assume you mean NOT coming to retail? Otherwise it sounds like they're dumping their unwanted crap on us!
Brickus Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I assume you mean NOT coming to retail? Otherwise it sounds like they're dumping their unwanted crap on us! Oops sorry, yes they are NOT coming to retail.
lightningtiger Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Well, I'm not surprised they don't do so well........since not even Coles Supermarkets can't even move them ! Now oddly enough another TRU catalogue has come out with the three great vehicles released this year for 19.99......but all the other city sets are normal price.
Darth Malgus Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I'm one of the few who liked the planet sets, unfortunately they were never going to tke off, the Chibi sets that have been previewed for 2014 look a lot better, $16 for what little you got in a planet set was always going to be a bit of an ask, shame they didn't do some of the CW planets they may have struck more of a chord with kids...
Artanis I Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Well there's $50 of SW purchases for starters for the clone polybag...
OzBen Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Well, I'm not surprised they don't do so well........since not even Coles Supermarkets can't even move them ! Lol Coles is not exactly a big mover of lego, we just got a new box of series 7 figs to sell.............
Brickus Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Did anyone place on order for the Opera House on the 16th and haven't had it shipped yet?
lostdriveway Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Scored myself a Grand Emporium for my wedding anniversary yesterday! My wife didn't have time to pick one up or order it online so she gave me the cash to go buy it! Thankfully Mr Toys in the city still had some - I didn't mind paying full RRP as I just wanted to get one before they go extinct! She didn't think it was a very romantic present for me but I told her it was the best present ever!
Naijel Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Lol Coles is not exactly a big mover of lego, we just got a new box of series 7 figs to sell............. Coles have mini-figs???
Carousel Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 All the Woolworths and Coles in my surrounding area no longer sell Lego Collectible Minifigures - they used to - I gather that it is due to the fact that the CMFs were sitting ducks in the sometimes unsupervised toy sections. Shame.
OzBen Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Coles have mini-figs??? Yeah in the bigger stores like mine, we even had a few of the planet sets but they are gone now....
TeufelHund Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 All the Woolworths and Coles in my surrounding area no longer sell Lego Collectible Minifigures - they used to - I gather that it is due to the fact that the CMFs were sitting ducks in the sometimes unsupervised toy sections. Shame. My local Coles had about 12 boxes of series 4 out until recently...even the thieves seemed to leave them alone. No idea what happened to them. On a more serious note, has anyone seen new Castle or Galaxy Squad in the wild yet?
TanTile Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Speaking of SW Planets.. Shop for me has just posted that they have series 4 SW planets in for those interested... http://www.shopforme.com.au/index.php?main_page=products_new
Fenaughty Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 at $23 each, i'm glad I ordered mine with the ewok village for $16, they will be hard pressed to move them at that price
distortme Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 75025 Jedi Defender-class Cruiser at TRU Gepps Cross for $139.99. I'm assuming its an exclusive.
