lightningtiger Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 2014 stuff spotted today at MYER Pacific Fair: Police motorbike (with the criminal and little wall) Camper and Canoe SUV and Jetskis Logging Truck Car Transporter Truck Airport Fire Truck Plus some creator: Little red helicopter Little yellow excavator Orange sports car Line-green chopper motorbike Monkey The little steam train might have been there too, I didn't notice it though. Nothing of note at MYER Robina. Seriously, Queensland again......must be the ghost of Sir Joh again ! Now, good old TC is having their usual 15% off sale again.
jonwil Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 If I wasn't running low on funds due to the QLD move, I would probably have bought something today :)
lightningtiger Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 If I wasn't running low on funds due to the QLD move, I would probably have bought something today :) Join the club......lucky we don't have these new sets yet......my cash flow is a little weak at the moment. I wonder if the new city sets have started appearing in Sydney or Melbourne yet ?
Darth Malgus Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Myer, big w had the new city sets in yesterday, they were putting them on shelf while I was at myer.
Paul B Technic Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Has anybody seen the new Technic sets in stores yet?
Alien24 Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Join the club......lucky we don't have these new sets yet......my cash flow is a little weak at the moment. I wonder if the new city sets have started appearing in Sydney or Melbourne yet ? Oh really? Bad news for you, but I saw the airport fire truck and logging truck at Big W in TTP on Friday (the shelves were pretty bare otherwise though)... but they are starting to hit here in Adelaide too now. :)
Alucrix Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 City 2014 sets are out in Melbourne, specifically Myer CBD. Also saw 31019 on the shelves. They also have a buy 2 get 3rd toy free deal but that ends today.
brickie Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Currently staying with family but I intend to look on the Gold Coast somewhere, quite possibly the Southport area. Hello jonwil and welcome to SE QLD. You will be more than welcome to join up with the good folks of BrisBricks. We meet at the library at the Carindale shopping centre; usually once a month on a Saturday night. Back on topic, the cheapest LEGO around here is what you find on clearance in the big stores. Many of BrisBricks members had a field day back in June when a Kmart manager decided to get rid of a lot of LEGO. As with all Kmarts at the time, there were a number of sets on clearance at about 20% off. On the Saturday, this friendly manager then reduced these sets to half the discount price. The word soon spread amongst BrisBricks members via phone and email. I picked up some collectable minifigs for $1.50 each plus other great bargains. Hope to see you at our January meeting.

I was at Kmart Ingle Farm and nearly everything is on clearance.....a staff member told me they are getting ready for just after new years for the new sets.
jonwil Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Does anyone know when we should start seeing the LEGO Movie sets (and matching Minifigures series) appearing in Oz?
Alucrix Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Does anyone know when we should start seeing the LEGO Movie sets (and matching Minifigures series) appearing in Oz? I've heard minifigs are coming out in January and sets will start rolling out in March. Bit silly releasing the sets so long after the movie hits theatres so I hope they tighten the schedule and get them in by February
Mijit Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Does anyone know when we should start seeing the LEGO Movie sets (and matching Minifigures series) appearing in Oz? As others have said they're set for a March retail release, however the Aus Online Lego Store is already selling the Movie line sets and Minifigs. Go figure. Edited December 29, 2013 by Mijit
brickie Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 I believe that "The LEGO Movie" will be released in Australia on April 4th; this will coincide with the start of the Easter school holidays in Qld and Vic.
jonwil Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 IMDB says "3 April 2014" so you are right on with that.
Alucrix Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 IMDB says "3 April 2014" so you are right on with that. Oh that's right, sorry I must've confused it the global release dates.
Artanis I Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 S@H has a whole bunch of this and last year's sets at 30% off. Mostly Chima, Ninjago, Lone Ranger & 2012 SW. They are probably on clearance, so once they're gone that's it. Unfortunately. I was hoping to grab the Hoth Echo Base at the huge mark-down but it is gone.
Hewman Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 I don't know if this is national or not but my local Coles at Newton (SA) has series 3 of the friends animals for just $1.25 each. That's the series with the puppy, parrot and fawn. Nice little stocking fillers for young girls for next year or even a few nice parts for MOCers particularly in the fawn set.
brickie Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 The 'Friends' sets are certainly on clearance in SE Qld; for some strange reason, there are none left at my local Coles.
dragonau Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Thank you thank you thank you... found some at the local coles this morning (SE Qld).

lostdriveway Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Just picked up 4 bags of the Friends sets from Coles Robina - still a couple left! I'm not into Friends but I got them for the bricks!
TeufelHund Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 I saw the Haunted House on sale for $189 at a couple of K-marts in Queensland while on holiday. I was tempted given mum had given me a $100 Coles-Myer voucher useable at Kmart for Xmas ("for a nice shirt" she said), but decided against it in the end due to the difficulty of fitting it in my luggage and getting it home safely (plus I still have Orthanc to build).
lightningtiger Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 BigW stores in Adelaide have selected 2014 city sets........the Goodwood Rd branch seems to have the biggest range (made a phone call to them on Monday late arvo). The smallest set goes for 9, the cheapest GV's 15, the 29.99 GV's are 24 bucks, and the car carrier or airport fire truck 35 dollars.....man, I need some extra cash.

dragonau Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Has anyone scored any goodies today at really good price---even if they are unique or not available for others now?
frumpy Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Wasn't sure where to post this. Have people received their Lego club magazine yet? I haven't got mine and they normally come in december. Thanks
