SnapLock Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Can someone tell me how do i find out Release dates of Lego sets into retail shops like Big/k-mart/target/myer e.t.c. I am trying to find out when the Lego Ultra Agents will hit the stores as i really want the Ultra Agents Mission HQ truck but refuse to buy form Lego online due to the outrageous shipping fee's. Any info would be much appreciated.

Any info would be much appreciated. September. So not long now, depending on where you live. We find out the release times from the twice a year catalogue (which I only saw for the first time on Saturday) or from a Lego rep if you happen to find one, and perhaps in the Lego Club magazine? Someone with access to it could give an answer to that one.

Brickus Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Has anyone ordered a Tumbler from LEGO Shop, but not yet received it?
lightningtiger Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Interesting tonight to see for $ 219 at Target and $ 199 at Kmart the new city passenger train.
Artanis I Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Has anyone ordered a Tumbler from LEGO Shop, but not yet received it? I haven't received my Exo-Suits yet. Ordered as soon as available on 1st of August. I've waited 3 weeks for S@H orders before, but never 4.

Is it because they were on backorder or have they shipped. If they have shipped then you should contact LEGO to sort out what is going on.
Artanis I Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Is it because they were on backorder or have they shipped. If they have shipped then you should contact LEGO to sort out what is going on. I assume that it shipped. The payment went through 2 weeks ago, and I received the invoice email. Tracking info on AusPost site says current status is "in transit", with "shipping information received" on 5/8, and "shipping information approved" on 12/8. For those times, the tracking info on the link on my order page says "picked up" and "shipment tendered" on 5/8, and "arrived at terminal location - alexandria bulk lodgement cent(re)" on 12/8. I usually receive the box within a week of that. I don't know if that means my parcel got to Sydney or if they just acknowleged & approved its existence.

That usually means the parcel has arrived in Australia. Try typing the tracking number into the official Australia Post's website you may get different information.
jonwil Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Alexandria is one of the main points for packages and parcels and mail to enter Australia (when you see mail being inspected on Border Security etc, it would be at Alexandria or a similar facility in Brisbane, Melbourne or Perth)
Hewman Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I haven't received my Exo-Suits yet. Ordered as soon as available on 1st of August. I've waited 3 weeks for S@H orders before, but never 4. On another forum there have been lengthy discussions about a whole shipment of orders going missing temporarily, apparently it's found now and people should be getting their orders soon.
SnapLock Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Interesting tonight to see for $ 219 at Target and $ 199 at Kmart the new city passenger train. That is interesting which K-mart had the passenger train? I asked at my local K-mart in the adelaide hills and they said all they are getting is the train station and that's it for the train theme. I hate my local K-mart! ... lol

lightningtiger Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 By the looks of it trains are appearing everywhere.......including Toy Corner as of yesterday.......and their 15% off finishes on Sunday.
Civic Bossman Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Not even Legoland Malaysia has Cuusoo sets. In fact it was one HUGE disappointment.
MicroM Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Not even Legoland Malaysia has Cuusoo sets. In fact it was one HUGE disappointment. Was the shop the disappointment or the actual park. I'm in Singapore at thrones if the year and was thinking of taking my son there (he'll be 5). But is it worth the trip there ??

I'm in Singapore at thrones if the year and was thinking of taking my son there (he'll be 5). But is it worth the trip there ?? Go for the park not for the LEGO, sets in MSIA are notoriously expensive, the only thing i picked up when i was there was a city fig with the MSIA flag printed on front and a couple of keychain bricks with my boys names engraved on them
MicroM Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks for the tip. Shame the shop is a letdown, but I wasn't planning on buying too much anyways.
hollisbrick Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Does any one on the GC know where I could grab the Cap America Vs Hydra set? Just searched all of Robina for it, no luck :( Edited August 31, 2014 by hollisbrick
jonwil Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Don't bother with Pacific Fair, MYER website says Pacific Fair is out of stock, Toys R Us have gone and K-Mart Pacific Fair have crappy stock levels (or did last time I looked). Plus the place is a bit annoying with all the construction going on. Best options on the coast would probably be Australia Fair at Southport (Mr Toys might have it) or Runaway Bay (Mr Toys, Big W or Target could have it). MYER website says Brisbane City has stock but that might be a bit far for you to go (I will be heading up to Brisbane CBD tomorrow and then Southport and possibly Hellensvale on Tuesday, if I see it when I am out I will post here)
lostdriveway Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 If anyone ever wants to come in and say hi and chat Lego, I work for Oakley at Robina. I also usually drop by myer every day as well...(they have the nicest bathrooms!)

Well I'll be going to Oz Comic this weekend in Brisbane so I might just pop over to queenstreet whilst i'm there And thanks! Edited August 31, 2014 by hollisbrick

Don't waste your time going to Queen Street, I checked Mr Toys, Big W, David Jones, Target and MYER and none of them had the Captain America set in stock. For those in QLD, Brisbane CBD MYER has now got all the August stock (including the Movie stuff) on the shelf. They also have stock of the BTTF set, Sopwith Camel and the 3 Minecraft sets (micro world, village and nether). No modulars though. Big W Brisbane CBD has at least one Sea Cow if anyone is still looking for one. Nothing worth mentioning at David Jones, Target or Mr Toys.
Artanis I Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Under "new items" on S@H, the sets Death Star, Grand Emporium & Tower Bridge have appeared. I wonder what that means? Are they getting another run? Strange.
