TheWolffe Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 20% off all toys including LEGO at BIG W from today (18/07) till Sunday (24/07). If you missed the last sale now is your chance to grab those last few sets while they're cheap!
jonwil Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Target isn't having a sale this year, they have switched from having toy sales to having lower-than-RRP everyday prices (probably because they weren't moving much toy product unless there was a sale)
lightningtiger Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Target isn't having a sale this year, they have switched from having toy sales to having lower-than-RRP everyday prices (probably because they weren't moving much toy product unless there was a sale) I was the only person tonight in Target Newton, seriously they are in trouble - 2 Battle of Hoth UCS sets, 3 Tie UCS sets and 2 Bat-cave sets and nothing else. The pricing brings them into line with BigW and stablemate Kmart in way but doesn't help families trying to afford Christmas and there might be a few kids this year with only few presents under the tree - Scrooge is alive and well at Target. Now on the Kmart front, no new sets in stores YET but up on their website many of the sets slated for August release are up there. A smile came to my face seeing the gas station is to be 95 dollars and the airport only 119 dollars.
jonwil Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 With the level of discounting going on at MYER as of late as well as the Toys R Us buy-2-get-1-50% on selected themes and even Big W with the current 20% off I dont think its been that hard to find LEGO at a reasonable discount. Yes it sucks if you want a Target-exclusive set like the City Crooks Island, Friends Bumper Cars, UCS Hoth, Batcave or UCS Tie Fighter but there are plenty of other LEGO items (and toys more generally) you can get at a nice discount if you really want :) I note that their pricing on all the large stuff (airport, volcano base, air show, service station) is bang on 20% off RRP. No sign of the City People Pack though :( (whether that means K-Mart isn't selling it or just hasn't listed it yet I dont know)
joeygunns Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Can anyone confirm that the new Marvel sets are actually going to be hitting store shelves?
jonwil Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Marvel sets are listed in the catalog so they should be hitting Oz sometime this month. However, its been confirmed by TLG that the new Bionicle sets for the second half of this year are NOT going to come to Australia. Bionicle is also ending as of this year (so no new sets in 2017)
Artanis I Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Wow, 1-and-done for a revival? Seems it wasn't very successful then. Rebel Combat Frigate is now on S@H for $200, Bucket Wheel Excavator is $400 and Disney Castle will be $500 when available next month (or in a few weeks).
Darth Malgus Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Getting annoyed at the time it takes to get new sets here these days...
ChrisW Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Getting annoyed at the time it takes to get new sets here these days... Amen to that. Strange as some new sets appeared on Kmarts website, but have now disappeared?
joeygunns Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 So there is no time frame for the new sets? Either the retail stores are getting slack or we are getting snubbed by LEGO once again. My local K-mart's LEGO section is pretty much bare, as is the Big W and Target.
Brickus Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 The lady at my local Toyworld said the new sets are due 2nd week of August.
Rare White Ape Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Found this morning on a Facebook Lego group I'm on: "New sets at big w warringah City Airport Volcano Starwars Superhero Nexo Ninjago" So yeah, they're coming. Sydney first since the distro center is at Eastern Creek, then further out after that. For those upset about the delay in getting the mid-year sets, bear in mind that a supply shortage caused the USA to not receive the first run of SW sets at the beginning of the year until April or something, while we had them in January. It happens, yes, but it's not just Australia that gets shafted.
slopemodified Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 I heard about some sets Myer has been putting on clearance - it's an extra 30% off the prices below! At Myer in Booragoon, WA, I only managed to get the recording studio, rey's speeder and the elves ship. The show stage was the only other set in the clearance tray. 41103 pop star recording studio $19.95 41104 pop star dressing room $22.95 41105 pop star show stage $47.95 41106 pop star tour bus $59.95 75130 AT-DP $11.95 75099 rey's speeder $29.95 41073 Naida's adventure ship $34.95 70735 ronin rex $59.95 70737 Titan mech battle $59.95
Rare White Ape Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Toyworld at Burleigh Waters (and, presumably, other Toyworlds) have got the new Ecto-1 and 2 set for $99.
TheWolffe Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 LEGO Creator MINI Cooper is on sale for $110 on TRU's website (online only deal), including shipping it totals to $120. A nice 20% off for anyone who's missed out on it in store.
jonwil Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 BTW the Ecto 1 & 2 set is NOT exclusive to Toyworld (despite at least one rumor suggesting it was). I saw it at MYER the other day.
joeygunns Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Can anyone confirm the Dr Strange set is a Toyworld exclusive?
Artanis I Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Has anyone seen the Vader's TIE etc set anywhere? (Or any Rebels sets for that matter - I know the Frigate is TRU in USA so probably the same here eventually)
Brickus Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 It doesn't appear that any of the large Rebels sets are coming to retail here, as they weren't featured in the retailers catalog. Plus the fact that they should have been released this month. I took the plunge and got them online.
BrickCurve Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 TRU appears to have a "buy one get on half price" deal on certain sub themes. Catalogue here- http://catalogues.toysrus.com.au/catalogue/dream-deals/14714064163654.html#pageNo=0&offerId=14719170359632 .
wesker Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 If anyone's looking for the Rebel Combat Frigate with Ahsoka and the Civil War Tanker Truck Takedown sets, they're both now on shelves at Toys R Us. The Ra's Al Ghul set is also out at Kmart. It doesn't appear that any of the large Rebels sets are coming to retail here, as they weren't featured in the retailers catalog. Plus the fact that they should have been released this month. I took the plunge and got them online. There's been a few rumours floating around the Australian Lego Facebook groups that the AT-TE and TIE Advanced/A-Wing set will be September releases. Guess we'll find out over the next couple weeks.
Artanis I Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Can't believe I missed this before, but maybe you did too! (ends today, btw) 15% off click & collect items on Myer & Target ebay (any others?) INCLUDING Batcave, Hoth & other new sets if you feel unlucky about any better discounts. Not great, but it's better than S@H double points - which was all I thought we'd get now that Target don't do sales. TIE is already $20 off if you want that, it comes to 20% off over all.
jonwil Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Anyone in Brisbane area looking for Series 16 should hit up their local Mr Toys, I got all mine from there yesterday and paid $4 instead of the $5 RRP. Better than waiting for MYER or Toys R Us or someone to have a 20% off or b2g1 sale. I have also seen the S16CMFs at MYER if Mr Toys isn't an option :) The Banana Suit Guy and the Penguin Suit Guy seem to be the ones that are disappearing the fastest (although the Babysitter with the baby is also a hot item from what I have seen) Reports are that the local release of the big orange technic car has been delayed to October. If you want the City Fun in the Park minifig pack, there are reports that stock levels are very limited so you best grab it sooner rather than later. I got mine yesterday at MYER Garden City although I also saw it at MYER Brisbane CBD (it was sitting in a box waiting to be unpacked and I didn't have time to go find a staff member who could open the box and sell me one so I called Garden City later in the day and they found one in the back in a box somewhere and put it on hold for me to pick up :) The Bucket Wheel Excavator, the big log tractor and the Volvo digger are also now available in stores along with the Minecraft Fortress set. The Captain America Tanker Truck set (with Spider-Man in it) is now showing up in Toys R Us stores (they have the exclusive on the set and the big double-rotor Volcano Explorer helicopter) and the Ra's al Ghul set is now showing up at K-Mart (who have the exclusive on that item)
