Hewman Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) And $AUD109.99 for the 10199 Winter Toy Shop! What! Since it's GBP39.15 and 60 Euro, even without the favourable exchange rate a pricepoint of $AUD99.99 would have been the uppermost limit I'd expect to pay.I bought 2 off a US Bricklink seller, so with shipping it ended up $AUD250 - still less than S@H with it's snail-crawl shipping Not impressed at all. Yeah it is a little expensive compared to other countries, particularly the US. But I bit the bullet and just ordered one plus an advent calendar which with its snow theme will fit in nicely with the toy shop (along with my shrieking shack). Shipping was $35, so not as bad as it could have been. I'm actually glad for the slow shipping in this case as I won't be tempted to build them way before Christmas as they probably won't arrive until the beginning of November and I can hold out a couple weeks. Yeah their packing is ordinary but they are good at fixing errors, only time it happened to me they sent a hard to find MICSB (Mint In Crushed Sealed Box) star wars set to me for free.

Strand Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 from 3rd-5th october, TRU is having a 20% off storewide sale. To those who subscribe to the email. This might be a good chance to pick up some TRU exclusives like $160 Home One (the cheapest you'll ever get it here)

This might be a good chance to pick up some TRU exclusives like $160 Home One (the cheapest you'll ever get it here) I popped into TrU and picked up the Home One kit and when I gave the girl my voucher it deducted $100, not the $40 it should have. Not sure what happened, nor was she, but she obvioulsy couldn't work out that $100 wasn't 20% and let it thru. I really wasn't going to bother with this kit, but for $160, it seemed OK. So I've done well to get it for $100.

TheDarkness Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Spend $100 or more this week at Target and get a $10 off coupon for use from the 10th to the 17th I think. I think that coincides with their toy sale
Svelte Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Looks like Target has the Pirate Tank - it's part of their OcTOYber (!) sale for about $48.
Whittleberry Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 OcTOYber (!) Noice. It's probably meant to be said with a Kath & Kim voice.
MicroM Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks for the heads up on the Pirate Tank. I was just talking with the kids this morning about how this kit wasn't out here as yet. And good on Target for releasing it at a decent discount.
YG-49 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Hooray! Now my Cad Bane can finally have a proper face! *Note to self: Get Pirate Tank*
Svelte Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 The new Xmas stuff is available from S@H. Three ornamental sets at 31.99 each.
Torax Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Noice. It's probably meant to be said with a Kath & Kim voice. Which is an Australian accent I guess. :P Never heard 'em... Should I have? On topic: I am going to buy the Pirate Tank tomorrow!
Whittleberry Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Which is an Australian accent I guess. :P Never heard 'em... Should I have? I guess it's an exaggerated one or something, I've never heard anyone talking like that in real life.
Darth_Legois Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 Anyone seen some Shanghai Chase sets lately? I was going to Kmart to pick up one today and they were all gone, When just last week there were atleast 10.
natelite Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 this week, kmart is having a lackluster 15% off lego sale. anyone spotted any 30% sale recently?
Svelte Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Well, it had to happen. Cafe Corner has hit 'Sold Out' on S@H. If it comes back and you need one, jump in quick.
MicroM Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 this week, kmart is having a lackluster 15% off lego sale. I'm waiting for them to drop the AT-OT / Dropship to under $200 - would be nice if this coincided with a 15% off sale (it's still $250 at my local). Its funny how they run with 15% now - it was always 20%, seems they bring that out for the Christmas and Toy sale promotions.

PS: Someone needs to update the first post!

The 15% off was in effect for 10195 at my Kmart. Lowering the price to $212 which to me is a bargain, however I abstained. A quick look at eBay revealed a glut of 10195's so no real chance to sell on. Hmmm Cafe Corner sold out, seems like I better hang on to mine then.
Svelte Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 The new small Santa, Tree and Snowman decorations are up at S@H, $6.99 each. Cool Santa is also up there for $16.99

There is always a rush on those willing to make a quick buck, and they flood the market. Stick a spare in the cupboard for 12 months or so, and you will just about get RRP for it. The main thing though is having the cash to buy the surplus ones
xNick Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Hmmm Cafe Corner sold out, seems like I better hang on to mine then. Wow. So glad I finally got around to ordering one last week :D
I Scream Clone Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Wow. So glad I finally got around to ordering one last week :D So you are the reason that Cafe Corner is sold out!? I have a feeling it will come up again soon, TLC will hopefully keep three Modular houses in production. They do show the new fire station in the same picture as CC and GGrocer.
Darth_Legois Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 Last time I checked at my local Kmart there was still one. A week ago mine had about 6 left, I'm just worried they might be phasing it out and replacing it with new Indy sets... PS: Someone needs to update the first post! Done! (I also added the Bricktober promotion)
Svelte Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 So you are the reason that Cafe Corner is sold out!? In the 10199 instructions ads, the Cafe Corner is gone from the page where they show the Green Grocer & Fire Brigade together It's been 2 1/2 years - I'm pretty sure this is the end. It may bob up again for a while like Market Street seemed to do but I doubt they will do another production run.
Brickus Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) The AT-OT is AU$250, at K-Mart, also I did see the Shanghai Chase at Myer. Edited October 16, 2009 by Aussie Tahu Nuva
