TheDarkness Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Is that at kmart, I looked and didn't see any and I want to get one as a get well for my mum. Yes it is at K-Mart
natelite Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 at my kmart, someone stolen all the hats, so all the plushies are hatless. no i didn't steal them... don't think it was such a good idea to make them removable.
Whittleberry Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 DarthSion, can you give us a shout if you see any? If anyone sees them in a Melbourne Kmart can they please say? Thanks.

DarthSion Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Well I can but I wont be much help, My sister is going to try to get one tomorrow in Ipswich QLD. Its really odd I dont even see them on the S@H website.
natelite Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Its really odd I dont even see them on the S@H website. these are probably made by the retailers under license from TLG for australia market. not sure if you notice there's also lots of version of the play table and play mat that are not available elsewhere. TRU has it's own version of the play table and play mat... same with big w and kmart. frankly, i don't like them. the legs are funnily attached to the torso, the hip is missing, the proportions do not match (head too small, body's angle too sharp like a triangle and not trapezoidal, legs are massive like hulk legs). also could use sturdier hats instead (e.g. with cardboard or foam insert). probably cost them about $2-3 to manufacture in china (it is made in china, i'm not racist!) and sell for $25 or $18 on "sale"! lol...
Whittleberry Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I might give them a miss then, they don't sound worth tracking down. You're right about the dimensions being off; when I first saw the pics I was kind of on the fence about buying one.
Maverick Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Hi All, Has anyone tried to verify if they had an instant win. Entered my receipt and code number but keeps saying invalid receipt. Or as another member has said just sit back and wait to see if they send out a freebie for you? Cheers,

lightningtiger Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Just a little note to you all that Kmart in Australia are clearing out selected Lego sets including City. The City ones marked down are as follows - 7632 crawler crane $ 40 au 7633 construction site $ 90 au 7636 harvester $ 40 au I checked three stores in my home city and they were all these prices.
Svelte Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Hi lightningtiger and welcome to Eurobricks! Please post any Aussie sales info in this thread - as you can see, we keep a keen eye on them! Thanks!
lightningtiger Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Walking thru my local myers department store my heart stopped. There in a lego display was 3 boxes marked THE EMERALD NIGHT. $149.99 au, of course I am about to start constructing mine. The other two are now gone. Either they were sold or pulled off for next weeks toy sale who knows.

lightningtiger Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Picked up the troll fortress 7097 at Kmart for $99 on clearence.
I Scream Clone Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Picked up the troll fortress 7097 at Kmart for $99 on clearence. Wow, they aren't wasting time marking that set down! That's a shelf life of all of 3 months. Maybe I better get in to Kmart and snap one up Or maybe I will wait for a 15% off day to boot.
lightningtiger Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I guess Kmart are clearing out slow movers so they can get ready for 2010 as well as pirates. Besides what I have posted before 8264 technic hauler is now $ 50 and the clone wars mega AT-OT dropship is down to $ 170. A 15% sale would be the icing on the cake.
jonwil Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Thanks lightningtiger for the info on the crane, when I saw the price tag I thought it was a misprint but the set really IS $40. That's 60% off the RRP (Shop @ Home and Toys R Us both want 99.99 for it) which actually makes it worth purchasing. Also, if anyone is interested, I spotted the pirate shipwreck island in TRU Morley today (based on the box it appears to be a TRU exclusive like the Home One). Cant remember the price but being a TRU exclusive, its bound to be a rip-off :) No emerald nights at either of the 2 MYER stores I hit today, plenty of stock of just about everything else though (my guess is that the emerald night is being held back until the sale starts so that there isn't a repeat of what happened with the Eiffel Tower earlier in the year)
lightningtiger Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Guess I got real lucky then with the emerald night (took me half a day to complete). Oh yeah spoke to some salesperson at Myers in Adelaide CBD - toy sale 4th November - Myers TTP said more lego was to be unpacked. Also on Kmart and this is a normal price (NOT on clearance) 7685 City Bulldozer is $ 45 not $ 59.95 like everywhere else.
Patty Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 No emerald nights at either of the 2 MYER stores I hit today, plenty of stock of just about everything else though (my guess is that the emerald night is being held back until the sale starts so that there isn't a repeat of what happened with the Eiffel Tower earlier in the year) What actually happened with the Eiffel Towers earlier in the year? When I went to check out the toy sale, there were heaps of Eiffel Towers lying around. Looks like no one really wanted just a sculpture of grey or was it bley? I can't remember... On another note, I checked out TRU Parra. They have the Home One up for sale for $160! Go get some tiger!
jonwil Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 It might not have been the Eiffel Tower, it may have been another set. I just remember a set that was put out by MYER before the sale (which was in the catalog) but people were buying it before the sale which meant there weren't enough when the sale started.
MicroM Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the tip on Trolls Fortress. Gee KMart love to discount these large kits Toys R Us are having a 20% off (full priced items) for 3 days (Thursday - Saturday 1 November). I managed to grab another HSD. As for the Pirate exclusive they are carrying, I'm sure its $70. Edited October 29, 2009 by MicroM
