Brickthing Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Just a reminder to all of you that are in the Auckland region - the LEGO Show that was mentioned a while back is happening this weekend and Monday at Glen Eden Intermediate School. The main feature is a train/town layout, but there are also a lot of Star Wars and TECHNIC sets on display, and a few BIONICLE MOCs of my own as well. I also saw what might be large A2 LEGO posters to be given away... It's no Brickworld, but it'll be well worth going to see, and I'd love to meet some of you fellow Aucklanders.

Wish I could make it but I have a really busy weekend and a busy monday aswell. I would have loved to go, do you know if they are holding it next year? Hope you have a great time and everyone else who goes! CF
RileyC Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Damn I think Im going up there on Tuesday Ah oh well I hope you guys have a fun time there!
AoNZ Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Hey guys. Just a quick question about the ToyWorld 20% off voucher a while back. By saying 'applies to one product' does this mean 'one product' as in if I bought four Series 2 Minifigs it would only apply to one giving a total of $19 instead of $20? Or does it mean one product as in if I bought four it would cost $16 as in the one product being the Collectable Minifigs? Thanks just want to know from anyone who's used it and what it applies to.
RileyC Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I think it's just one item. But I think k-mart has started pricing lego under RRP. They had all $100+ star wars sets $20 under RRP. Top that off with a 20% off sale and it's a lot cheaper (but they don't have one at the moment).

Now for a sale! I'm betting though that they won't do anymore mark downs or sales towards boxing day. CF
RileyC Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) From what I remember the slave 1 was $169, grievous starfighter and emperors shuttle were $129 and the battlepacks were $17. So I'm hoping for a good boxing day sale there! Edited December 20, 2010 by Roncanator

epic_red Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Went to the Warehouse in Hornby yesterday and was surprised to see Toy Story sets 7593 (Buzz's starship)and 7592 (Build a Buzz), both discounted to about half price (7593 for $30 and 7592 for $25) but they were not advertised and the new price stickers had been placed over the original price stickers. They were the only two discounted but the only other TS sets were the Army men and Lotso dump truck so not sure about other sets. I bought one 7593.

Not bad, I just want the army men discounted, then I'll be getting afew! Does anyone recommend I get This? Its cheaper then it would be on BL, and I've been wanting to get Cody for ages! And btw, thats my question at the bottom that has been answered. CF

If you want the Fig and it's as simple as that, then get it - it's a good deal. But there's a very strong chance he's going to be realeased in a new set some time in the next year or two, and the value will then drop. So it's up to you. On aother note, lego S@H Has put the UCS JSF 30% off down to $140. When the new sets are released, and they put more stuff on sale, would anyone be keen to place an oreder? If people are keen, please let me know, and start thinking about what you would want. The best deals usually sell out quite fast, and I be waitng for you all this year Once the deals go up I'll probably be placing my order within 3 days, so be ready

Went to Kmart yesterday and they had afew Blockade Runners, but I couldn't see any price. Also there prices weren't the ones that you said before Roncanator, they where still the usual $22 for BPs and so on. CF

I wouldnt be surprised, its in a terrible location and its always empty and it may be that they are just trying to move some stock out.
Logbo Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 lego star wars clock Toy World Homebase (shirley) $39.95 save $10, ask for a discount (hint hint i got mine cheaper still)
Legoman Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 lego star wars clock Toy World Homebase (shirley) $39.95 save $10, ask for a discount (hint hint i got mine cheaper still) That's unexpected. Isn't that thing like 3 years old? I never even knew they were coming to NZ. Very odd. Did it include the green clone? If you don't want it, I'm keen (that goes for anyone who buys one haha) I went to the Warehouse in Riccarton today, and picked up 3 Zurg sets at $20ea. An absolutely pathetic set. Even at $20 it's edgy. Considering the rarity of purple parts and the Printed parts, it does help the case, but still. I would like a couple of Buzz's but they had none. Also, was at K-mart in Riccarton today. Seems they're trying to clear some stock. Toy story and POP were marked down, along with the Titantive IV (finally!) Titantive was $180 Battle of Alamut was $100 Western Train was $130 And thats about everything I can remember. Any other Clearances?

It would be really good way to get green clones Was the Tantive IV $180?! Man that seems very cheap! CF Edited December 23, 2010 by CommanderFox
RileyC Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 wow the tantive IV for $180? I should really keep on checking my local k-mart to see if they have any in stock. Did you get one for yourself? Thanks for the tip Legoman!

Did you get one for yourself? Thanks for the tip Legoman! I didn't get one, since I've already got it. If they go below $150 I might pick up a couple to hold on to/resell later though
RileyC Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 I didn't get one, since I've already got it. If they go below $150 I might pick up a couple to hold on to/resell later though Disregarding the price, would you recommend the set?
Dragonator Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 That's a good price for the Tantive, I grudgingly paid the full $259 several months ago. It's a decent price considering the original RRP is $350.
