BrickCurve Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Where are the good places to look around for LEGO in Melbourne city area? Best, if you can provide me the location such as TRU, Kmart, Target, BigW, etc. Thank you. This store is just a short train ride from the city and, just up the road from where I live. http://www.toybricks.com.au The have the best range (just about everything). I recommend asking for Rob, Dean or Shelly as they are the 3 AFOLs that run the store. Gabe also does some part time sculpture work there, (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showuser=12135). Their hours are; Tue-Fri 10-5 and Saturday 9-5. Are you coming to Melbourne for a visit?
WhiteFang Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Thanks d-delay and BrickCurve. Useful information, as it will help me greatly. I think I am staying near Victoria Market area, so probably need to figure out on how to get there via public transport. Will consolidate them and check it out, yes I am there for a short holiday visit over this weekend.

From the Queen Vic markets you should be within cycling distance of the store I mentioned, I think it is about 6-7kms. Melbourne is a great city for cycling, theres hardly any hills! I think there are numerous stands in the city where visitors to Melbourne can hire a bike for the day. I might be able to meet you there on Saturday if you like. EDIT: I wouldn't recommend Shop For Me; all they have really is just sets. The one I mentioned before has an array of third party thing such as train track and life lites.

Agent Bricks is a great place, it's an independent LEGO store (Not official but as close as you'll get in Oz) Has older sets, minifigures, a kinda PaB type thing and more. Really good place to go to!

Only interested in sets not third party stuff ;) Edited May 5, 2016 by d-delay

Artanis I Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Mixels are half price ($3.50) on S@H. Only series 7 is available. Free Creator parrot build with orders over $45, until the end of the month.

Those castle themed ones are great for parts. I'll have a dozen...Does anyone know which retailer will have the ideas maze as an exclusive?
jonwil Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 I dont know that it will necessarily be an exclusive. It may not come to Australia but if it does it will probably be available at all the retailers that have previously stocked Ideas sets (so probably MYER, Toys R Us, David Jones, Toyworld and various independents)

He also mentioned that it was going to be an exclusive. Edited May 14, 2016 by BrickCurve
jonwil Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Weird that it would be an exclusive then given previous Ideas sets have not been.
Brickus Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Spotted the Brick Bank, and Ferrari F40 at Myers today. Toy sales coming up soon, it seems.
jonwil Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 So far its 0 for 4 in QLD in terms of MYER stores having any decent stock (i.e. modulars, big sets, d2c etc). Nothing in the CBD store at all as of earlier today (and the CBD store is usually the one with the best stock levels). I did however see a couple of Big Bang Theory Ideas sets yesterday at MYER in Garden City...
jonwil Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 MYER has 20% off LEGO tomorrow (online starts today apparently). But the greedy SOBs have specifically EXCLUDED "Creator Expert" :(
Artanis I Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Not so sure it's greedy, but rather foolish. People only buy them from there BECAUSE of the discount they usually have. The afol will instead use S@H where VIP points & whatever current promotion (not to mention many months earlier) are available. Not as good as 20% off, 28% off or 3 for 2, but who would buy Modulars etc from Myer at 0% off when there are better options? Edited May 20, 2016 by Artanis I
pinioncorp Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 It'll be discounted at the mid year toy sale I suspect.
WhiteFang Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Back to reality earlier 2 weeks ago. I went and cover all the places at CBD as mentioned by d-delay. However, I can't locate the TRU at Lonsdale St though. Posted some images in my Flickr for my adventure. Furthest I gone was Shop For Me which have good sets discount and also to Kmart at Victora Gardens Shopping Mall. Until next time, I hope to cover other parts of Australia.
I Scream Clone Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Does anyone know which retail stores are stocking the LEGO Justice League Cosmic Clash Blu Ray that comes with the Cosmic Boy figure?
Artanis I Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Does anyone know which retail stores are stocking the LEGO Justice League Cosmic Clash Blu Ray that comes with the Cosmic Boy figure? Actually it just came out at Big W. Its says $16 on the shelf but after you scan it at the self serve register and hit "pay", it discounts to a price of $11.20. Also the figure comes inside the dvd case and some of the cases have a "minifigure included" picture on the front whereas others don't... so not sure if they all have one or not. Good luck, I haven't seen it
I Scream Clone Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Cheers mate, looks like it's eBay for me as my two Big W's have sold out. Found the Trickster one though!
joeygunns Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) I haven't seen any of the new marvel sets :( Edited June 6, 2016 by joeygunns
Rare White Ape Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I spotted the new Speed Champions sets at Target on the Gold Coast. I picked up the Audi R18. It's sticker hell. I'm also curious to see how many Aussies purchased the GT3 RS. It's sold out already on Lego Shop. That's insane at the price it's going for worldwide.
d-delay Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 I'm not sure this is the right topic to ask this but, does anyone know which store is getting the 76056 Ra's Al Ghul exclusive set in Australia?
wesker Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 No idea. I asked a Myer employee recently when the new Star Wars and Superheroes sets are expected to be released and apparantly they're not hitting Australian retailers until August. Conveniantly after the mid year toy sales have ended.
