Hewman Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 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. And a note to those in SA and WA, might have been somewhere else as well, the sale isn't here. I got the email about it and tiny writing at the bottom was the list of states excluded from the sale.
xNick Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Went to my local Kmart and all they had on clearance was the Combine Harvester and the Indiana Jones Fighter Plane set (which I picked up). Was really hoping to get a Troll's Fortresses set :(
YG-49 Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I found the Temple of Doom at Kmart for $90 - Bargain!!
Hewman Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) From Thursday, K-Mart has another 15% off Lego sale. Edit: Even toys r us are having a big sale starting tomorrow, some things actually at good prices, like Home One for $150 Toys R Us sale plus a free Santa keyring for purchases over $40. Big W also have some nice prices on sets like the City corner for around $74 (about 25% off RRP) and if like me BIg W isn't convenient, just get a copy of the advert and take it to DJs to get them to price match.

I like to know which Kmart will have city corner for $ 65 ? Usually the best they do is 20 bucks off, making it $ 78.
lightningtiger Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 OMG ...... It's LEGOWARS !!!!! Got the junk mail early for some reason. Myers, Big W and Kmart have gone Lego City Nuts Cheapest City Corner - Kmart - $ 65 Cheapest Garage - Kmart - $ 94 Cheapest Farm - Kmart - $ 89 Cheapest Police Station - Myers - $ 99.95 Cheapest Tow Truck - Kmart - $ 13.50 Cheapest Sports Car - Big W - $ 9.88 Cheapest Camper - Big W- $ 22.84 Big W also has 7747 wind turbine transport back as well still at the same price $ 58.88, cheaper than Lego S@H.
Cropsy Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I like to know which Kmart will have city corner for $ 65 ? Usually the best they do is 20 bucks off, making it $ 78. It's in the upcoming catalogue starting Thursday for $65. See page 5... http://www.kmart.com.au/catalogue/Catalogu...CatalogueID=194
lightningtiger Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 For those who might have missed out on a cheap Crawler Crane - Toys-R-Us $ 59.95. I think most Kmart's have sold out of their clearance stock of these. Some Kmart's still have some 7633 construction sites left, 15% off $ 90 drops the set under $ 80. That beats Target still selling the 7633 at $ 149.99, they I believe are one of the few retailiers NOT having a Lego sale.
Paul B Technic Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I checked out Kmart here yesterday and they only had one basic technic set :(
Svelte Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 It's funny how as Lego has raised prices, the retailers have dropped them to steeper discounts than we ever normally see However the shelf-life is shorter than ever before, which I am not sure is a good thing

Thanks for that lightningtiger. Do you know if Myer has a general % off lego sale and was the emerald express train set in the catalogue? I couldn't see the catalogue online yet. Cheers
Patty Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Thanks for that lightningtiger.Do you know if Myer has a general % off lego sale and was the emerald express train set in the catalogue? I couldn't see the catalogue online yet. Cheers Nah there isn't a general % off at Myers.
MrMac Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Do you know if Myer has a general % off lego sale and was the emerald express train set in the catalogue? Yes the emerald was listed at Myer, from memory it is $120 ($30 off) and listed as Limited stock. The missus will be nice and pick it up tomorrow for me.
lightningtiger Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I saw at one Kmart today 8037 Y Wing on clearance for $70 before the 15% sale begins. Also 7635 4WD with horse float on sale for $ 22, 10 dollars off.
u98925 Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 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. I picked up a Hauler for $42.50 at my local K-Mart tonight....
Beej Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Anything else good from the Myer sale? I haven't seen anything about a Myer toy/Lego sale at all. Not sure how people are picking up the Emerald Night so cheap.
MicroM Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 My local KMart has been all but cleared of the Dropship / AT-OT. They had at least 10 there following the Toy Sale that just weren't moving, but since the drop to $170, they have all but disappeared. There was 1 left last week. Same has happened with the Troll's fortress. These "Clearance" prices are great, but as Svelte mentioned up above, its worrying that the shelf life seems so short now.
lightningtiger Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Well folks I think Kmart will dump the City Dozer, Clone Wars Venator, some of the Power Miners and Mr I. Jones next. Must be making way for Pirates, then the new City sets and of course Woody & Buzz. You may ask how I worked that out, the shelf pricing strips - 'cl' means of course clearance, but these I have said have 'al' instead of a barcode for stock control. I guess 'al' might mean all, which could be one step away from going on clearance. Only days a go the yellow Y Wing had 'al' on it's strip, now it's on clearance for $ 70.
jonwil Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I am VERY surprised that these sets are going on clearance so soon after their release. I am also worried about what that means for LEGO retailing in general (whether stores are going to stock less in the future)
lightningtiger Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Kmart I think is the worst offender in this area and it's not just with Lego. Everything that they sell, if they don't get the turnover they like - they quit it. Even if it's only 3 months, they must have sales targets to meet or something has to give.
natelite Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 was quite tempted but only bought the temple of doom, troll fortress and another AT-OT. was going to wait for more % on the doom and troll but i'm a sucker for nice minty box editions. quite a few boxes have been trashed...accident or otherwise. i'll check again on monday since it seems that's when they cut the price further on clearanced items. there's another death star in the kmart - marked at 599. with the sale comes to around 509. box is quite trashed though. don't worry, LT. '10 will be back to a slow year due to lower quality, and poorer designed sets. i'm loading up on 09 sets in hope of selling them in '10.
lightningtiger Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Big News Folks ! It's back - 7993 - Octan Service Station. Just paid $ 59.99 at my local TOYWORLD ! So check with your nearest Toyworld if they have stock or they can get it. The Toyworld I brought it from was the Parafield store, which is just north of Adelaide.

Yeah Toyworld's and Imagine If shops tend to have a lot of sets still on shop at home but not stocked at other retailers any more. I've seen sandcrawlers, star justice, market st, cement mixers, speed racer all in the last couple weeks.
