brickfreak99 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Is the Lego Agents Mobile Command Center out in Australia??? I know you can get it from S@H but I would like it buy it from a department store. Has anyone got it from a department store in Aus?
Svelte Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Is the Lego Agents Mobile Command Center out in Australia??? I know you can get it from S@H but I would like it buy it from a department store. Has anyone got it from a department store in Aus? It's been and gone. Much like King's Castle Siege, I doubt it will be restocked. K-Mart and Myer had it on sale for $99 as a special promotion a few months back, and some others had it cheap as well. It isn't in the 2009 Aus/ NZ catalogue either, which makes me think we won't get a re-release at a retail level.
brickfreak99 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 Oh my. Oh my. This can't be good...
Raphy Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Dude, I have a friend that lives in Australia and I saw some pics of his with his Agents MCC. So I'm sure you're not too screwed! Cheer up; look on Ebay or something. I'm sure they'll have something!! ~Raphy~
Siegfried Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 K-Mart and Myer had it on sale for $99 as a special promotion a few months back, and some others had it cheap as well. That's how I got mine. I saw it in my local K-Mart last month, but your mileage will vary...
brickfreak99 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 Oh...and does anyone know if there is a postage price to Aus(Lego S@H)??? Cause I would like the MCC very much...
Darth_Legois Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 And its not in the '09 Catalog....Oh well theres always Asia then ...[i go about once a year there and they always have stock for ages like Japan still has the street cleaner car thing and the '05 firetruck and kings castle siege ect..] Oh...and does anyone know if there is a postage price to Aus(Lego S@H)??? Cause I would like the MCC very much... About $35-$40 AUD I think? pretty expensive. Your best bet is probable Ebay. Im still kicking myself for not getting it at the sales...And It was only around for like afew months
Siegfried Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 About $35-$40 AUD I think? pretty expensive. I only do big orders and/or sale items to counter that. Even so, for shipping a large box from Europe it's pretty cheap.
Darth_Legois Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I only do big orders and/or sale items to counter that. Even so, for shipping a large box from Europe it's pretty cheap. Well then it'd end up almost $200 AUD just for the MCC which is to much IMO.
CommanderCody77 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Oh my. Oh my. This can't be good... I wouldn't worry if I were you, you could just order it in amazon.com
Siegfried Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I wouldn't worry if I were you, you could just order it in amazon.com Can we? I've tried in the past but they don't ship Lego to Australia. Am I wrong?
Darth_Legois Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Can we? I've tried in the past but they don't ship Lego to Australia. Am I wrong? I thought they just dont ship stuff like Airsoft, Replica weapons other illegal stuff here. But LEGO?
Svelte Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Neither Amazon UK nor Amazon US ship anything other than books, CDs or DVDs internationally. You can add Lego sets to your cart, but when you get to checkout you will be blocked from proceeding. See here for more info about shipping policies. To be honest, the poor Aussie dollar doesn't make US stores particularly attractive at the moment anyway. I bought my 8635 off bricklink when it first came out early in the US before the crash and even then it was cheaper than buying it from Shop at Home (with standard shipping), and I got it in about a week. Buying it now would cost about $AUD260. Ouch! Even hobbyco and online retailers like bttw seem to be out of stock with this one. However Lego Australia may know if any stores still have stock here - 1800 683 100
Darth_Legois Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Actually my TRU still has some but I dont really want to pay $160...should've gotten it at the sales.
Siegfried Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 To be honest, the poor Aussie dollar doesn't make US stores particularly attractive at the moment anyway. Very true. When the dollar was around 0.90 I tried to buy the sandcrawler, that's when I found out the rule. Actually my TRU still has some but I dont really want to pay $160...should've gotten it at the sales. I'm often annoyed that there isn't a TRU near me... but then I hear their prices! I was hoping to get the Republic Transport though...
