Svelte Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Are you sure it wasn't $198? That's the before sale price. Unless its a one off error at your store I doubt this is widespread. And since there's no action or play features to put on the back of the midi-Falcon, they might as well put an inventory!

Yes, I meant $198
TheTacoMan Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Saw the separatists shuttle at Rowville K-Mart for $55. Nothing else though, indy, pirates, SP III, or other new SW.
Svelte Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 The 7747 Wing Turbine Transport scanned at 58.88 so I picked one of those up. The Farm is also marked at 88.88 too - permanent price reduction at Big W maybe? Not much SP3 at Big W near me yet - just the Squiddy Escape and the second-to-largest one.

Yup its not on sale it just says "Hot price" next to the farm & Turbine Transport, There was also no "after sale price" listed.
hollisbrick Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 All SP3 sets are good at my Big W, but they arent at sale price to 2nd of July. Same with the SW
DarthSion Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I see Endor and DS are on Ebay and at a good price.
Maverick Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 any one know what the 7747 windmill transporter rrp is? S@H doesnt have the price yet.
TheDarkness Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I see Endor and DS are on Ebay and at a good price. Endor is currently at a minimum $220, and the Death Star is now at $510
TheTacoMan Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Endor is currently at a minimum $220, and the Death Star is now at $510 If you watch Ebay like a hawk you can get some amazing bargains (I got the death star for about $500 AU when it was first released, incl shipping) The new INDY TEMPLE OF DOOM set is up there for buy it now $217, i'm very tempted ><. Does anyone know how much it's RRP is going to be in aus? In america its only $89. so i wouldn't expect it to be more than $150 here
DarthSion Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Yeah you can get some good prices there now and then.
TheDarkness Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 If you watch Ebay like a hawk you can get some amazing bargains (I got the death star for about $500 AU when it was first released, incl shipping) I definitely keep a close eye, both here and abroad, for bargains. People do make errors in their titles and possibly not attract as much attention as they may be able with some better planning. I suspect when you got your DS, some people were out to make a quick buck after buying theirs at the erroneous pricing off the bat (I had 2 in my cart and was waiting for my credit card company to fix an error, so I lucked out :()

I got mine for $440 inc postage!
DarthSion Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 If you missed it, BigW is giving away free Legoclub membership if you purchase $40 or more in Lego, Only during the sale.
YG-49 Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 If you missed it, BigW is giving away free Legoclub membership if you purchase $40 or more in Lego, Only during the sale. That was mentioned.
Svelte Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Indeed! I got mine for $440 inc postage! I still have a spare lying around somewhere... Those were the days, $150 Green Grocers, $400 Death Stars... how things change in 12 months! Incidentally, the 7747 answers your question about using the new cutout cylinder piece to make stable towers a la 10189, Siegfried. Basically rotate each iteration by 90 degrees as you ascend, stick a 4x4 circular plate over each of these sections, then run the Technic axle through the centre. Voila! You can sort of see the technique in this pic.
Siegfried Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Incidentally, the 7747 answers your question about using the new cutout cylinder piece to make stable towers a la 10189, Siegfried. Glad to see someone pays attention to me! Indeed you're right. So this is as strong as the Taj towers? (I'll have to buy this set!)
YG-49 Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Not much SP3 at Big W near me yet - just the Squiddy Escape and the second-to-largest one. Hyperspeed Pursuit? If so, YAY!
MinifigHQ Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Also noticed in the Kmart catalogue on Page 43 They are selling a Lego play table "Exclusive" to Kmart. BigW also has the New playmats for $6.84. Both should be good for keeping the kids amused.

(just kidding) Also noticed in the Kmart catalogue on Page 43 They are selling a Lego play table "Exclusive" to Kmart.BigW also has the New playmats for $6.84.

I still have a spare lying around somewhere... Those were the days, $150 Green Grocers, $400 Death Stars... how things change in 12 months! i think my presence here in this country jinxed you guys! even your friendly neighbors, new zealanders, are still getting these "good" mispricings. oh well, i might not be here for much longer so your good fortune may just return!
