lightningtiger Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Okay, so either Lego Australia or BigW must do a please explain........ From Thursday at BigW.......Great Vehicles sets are 25 bucks save 6 dollars.......do the math......31 dollars......the r.r.p. is 29.99, so what now a BigW Tax ? (They'll say it's because of the Aussie dollar right ? )
doydy Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 toy world mandurah is having some age of ultron sets on sale.

(They'll say it's because of the Aussie dollar right ? ) I think there's some monkey business going on here. Saying you save more then you actually do to get more sales..
EvMan Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Hola! Okay, so either Lego Australia or BigW must do a please explain........ From Thursday at BigW.......Great Vehicles sets are 25 bucks save 6 dollars.......do the math......31 dollars......the r.r.p. is 29.99, so what now a BigW Tax ? (They'll say it's because of the Aussie dollar right ? ) Are you saying there are people who would be happy paying $25 if there is a $6 saving but not happy paying $25 if there is only a $5 saving?

Brickus Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 toy world mandurah is having some age of ultron sets on sale. Did they have the 2 largest ones, the tower and the Quinjet.
jonwil Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 If Big W didn't actually sell them at the $31 price tag, they can get in trouble with the ACCC under false and misleading advertizing laws.
doydy Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Did they have the 2 largest ones, the tower and the Quinjet. only saw hulk buster smash for $45, iron man vs ultron for $17 and avengers hydra showdown at $35. btw, start this 23rd march thru 4th April. Edited March 16, 2015 by doydy
lightningtiger Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 If Big W didn't actually sell them at the $31 price tag, they can get in trouble with the ACCC under false and misleading advertizing laws. Very true, I remember both BigW and Kmart sell those sets for 28 bucks.......a three buck increase at BigW only ? I'll check a BigW tomorrow.....as long as I remember to do that !
jonwil Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Beenleigh Big W (as of earlier today) were definatly selling them at $28.
lightningtiger Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Beenleigh Big W (as of earlier today) were definatly selling them at $28. So, if they claim save 6 bucks makes the sets 22 bucks right.......hmm, I wonder if we can test them to see eh ?
Slobey Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Big W are usually the cheapest overall for Lego of the big box stores, I'd put this down as a typo rather than a intentional mislead......
jonwil Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Most likely it will result in Big W publishing a correction saying "the catalog was incorrect, the correct save is $3 not $6" or whatever.
lightningtiger Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Most likely it will result in Big W publishing a correction saying "the catalog was incorrect, the correct save is $3 not $6" or whatever. Best check the morning papers for the next two days for that correction eh ?
Civic Bossman Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Got this email from Big W with yet another error (which I intend to utilise)
gavralcraw Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Got this email from Big W with yet another error (which I intend to utilise) Whishc e-mail?
afolaus Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Is there any word on the release of 76040 Brainiac Attack? DC Superheroes should be hitting the shelves in coming day but nada on this, which is on s@h I guess.
Civic Bossman Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Just a generic this weeks specials type email
lightningtiger Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Got this email from Big W with yet another error (which I intend to utilise) Hmm, you might not be the only one !

lightningtiger Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 We probably won't see it till mid year sales around May/June. If then, remember we missed out on the X-men set last year ?
shockwave42 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Not sure if this is new, but saw the Gorilla Grodd and Aquaman sets at Target today. Also saw the small Hydra car with Thor and Hawkeye (although reading above, it seems AoU sets have been around for a few days)

jonwil Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Mr Toys Beenleigh has the Sea Cow, Opera House, Winter Village Market, 5 Elves sets (all except the biggest one), all 4 DC sets, the 2 smaller Disney Princess sets, Speed Champions McLaren P1, Speed Champions Ferrari 458, Speed Champions McLaren Pit Stop, Avengers Hulkbuster, Avengers Iron Man Ultron and the Avengers set with the 4x4 and dune buggy. Big W Beenleigh has Elves (don't remember seeing the smallest set but the rest are all there), the Speed Champions Ferrari Truck and the Porsche 918. Oh and the answer to the "mistake" from up-thread is that they are on sale at Beenleigh right now at $22 (so $6 off normal Big W RRP)
lightningtiger Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Target Newton had the smallest Avengers set plus two of the twenty dollar Speed Champions sets.......and that's it.
jonwil Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Has anyone seen the Green Lantern set at any MYER stores yet? I wasn't planning to hit the 20% off sale this weekend (I am going out on a massive massive as-yet-still-being-planned shopping odyssey on Tuesday for my birthday and I dont want to also go out this weekend) but if I can get 20% off the Green Lantern set (the one DC Super Heroes set I actually want) it might be worth going out...
