Legoman Posted December 24, 2010 Author Posted December 24, 2010 Definately worth $180 It's a great set. Should have retailed at $250 rather than $350, but at $180 it's a must-buy (if you can afford that)
RileyC Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 Definately worth $180 It's a great set. Should have retailed at $250 rather than $350, but at $180 it's a must-buy (if you can afford that) I think I will be able to afford it. I just hope I can get one of them. If I cant would you be able to help me out?
Legoman Posted December 24, 2010 Author Posted December 24, 2010 I think I will be able to afford it. I just hope I can get one of them. If I cant would you be able to help me out? Well There's two K-marts in CHCH. One was sold out when I went this morning (Palms), the other (Riccarton) had one left yesterday afternoon when I was there, But it was pritty munted, and May be sold by now. I think you'd be better off in the North Island where there are plenty of k-marts everywhere. The Warehouse is the Dominant Department store in the South Island, unlike up North where K-mart is actully attempting to be compeditive
Legoman Posted December 24, 2010 Author Posted December 24, 2010 I jut saw that Farmers has 30% off toys on boxing day. That's pritty good - I think I may have to pick up a couple of those Hoth Super packs. Thats a Wampa Cave, A Echo Base (Tauntaun set), and a Rebel BP for $92! Thats a real steal - RRP for those 3 would be $175 The Warehouse's sale will become apparent soon. Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas! I am thinking about three of these battery boxes for the group S@H order if they are discounted as some suspect they will be. P.S. Anyone received their Lego Club package? I won't spoil the surprise, but this one is great

I won't spoil the surprise, but this one is great I got my Club Mag on Monday... Quite nice isn't is I'm hoping they'll have some SW nice sets on sale
Dragonator Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 P.S. Anyone received their Lego Club package? I won't spoil the surprise, but this one is great I haven't received anything all year despite renewing my membership. I might send them another email about that...
epic_red Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Saw a Warehouse flyer yesterday stating that they had 25% off toys. Not as good as Farmers discount but if you can find Toy Story sets there the discount may apply to them.
Legoman Posted December 25, 2010 Author Posted December 25, 2010 Merry Christmas everyone!! Saw a Warehouse flyer yesterday stating that they had 25% off toys. Not as good as Farmers discount but if you can find Toy Story sets there the discount may apply to them. It does apply to Toy Story - that makes most sets at least %62.5 off - More on some sets!
Logbo Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 sorry for late reply, comes with Storm Trooper. Can see it in my video. NSFW ( i think i swear in it )

Anyone received their Lego Club package? I won't spoil the surprise, but this one is great Got mine on Friday. I got my Club Mag on Monday... Quite nice isn't is I'm hoping they'll have some SW nice sets on sale Yup! I haven't received anything all year despite renewing my membership. I might send them another email about that... I've only received 2 out of 4 magazines. I emailed the NZ distributor i think in march and they sent the Jan issue finally, since then I've only gotten the last one - Dec one. I think I'll be emailing them aswell. Not good enough. Saw a Warehouse flyer yesterday stating that they had 25% off toys. Not as good as Farmers discount but if you can find Toy Story sets there the discount may apply to them. Not bad, thanks for the info! Merry Christmas everyone!! It does apply to Toy Story - that makes most sets at least %62.5 off - More on some sets! Yay! Hopefully the army men will be in stock! Merry Christmas all! CF
Legoman Posted December 25, 2010 Author Posted December 25, 2010 Yay! Hopefully the army men will be in stock! Correct me if I'm wrong - but Army Men aren't included in the original 50% off Well, I just got home (early) from boxing day sales. Got evacuated out of the mall after another, quite decent, After shock. Couldn't help but feel that it was a 'higher power,' So to Speak, Causing it. I mean - Boxing day (The hight of consumerism) A Sunday (Day of 'Rest' depending on what you Beleive), And the Epi-Centre was right in the Center-City But anyway... I still picked up a few bargians. 2x POP BOA Sets, $75 Down from $180 1x SW Titantive, $140 Down from $350 3x Wampa 3 in 1 Set, $91 Down from $140 (But $175 worth of sets) Altogether I spent $562, For $1235 Of Lego May sell some stuff On though
RileyC Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 S@H has the new SW sets. Most of the prices are very reasonable imo. Except for the two special editions but they are usually very over priced. Im happy about the prices they really couldve been a lot worse. $100 for the bounty hunter set, yes please!

Except for the two special editions but they are usually very over priced. Im happy about the prices they really couldve been a lot worse. $100 for the bounty hunter set, yes please! The Battle of Naboo Set is only $50! That's brilliant! Definately will be buying up plenty of those! V-wing is also $50, which seems a joke compared to the Naboo set. I'll pick one up when it gets to 30% off. And I couldn't care less about the rest... Except the Geonosis set... Mabye
RileyC Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 Yeah I agree on the V wing as well. Though it is on par with plo koon's starfighter so at least there is no inflation next year on sets. However today as a family present my mum picked up the winter toy shop. Yet to build it but at $100 for 850 pieces, it isnt bad. I also wanted to lay-by the AT AT but they couldnt lay-by on sale items so my mum bought it for $180 and I will get it when I have enough money. So that ends my year for Lego. Bring on 2011!
CommanderFox Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the heads up on the new sets Roncanator! Has anyone seen there are sets finally on sale on S@H but they are all sold out already! Such good prices! Im very keen for the T-6 and the Bounty Hunter ship now that they are cheaper then I thought they would be, I was expecting atleast $180 for the T-6. Im off to the sales now, didn't get to go yesterday. Also Mace and Geo set are alright prices, $90 seems okay, but I think I might wait till a sale comes around to get them.

RileyC Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 That's good work there Allan! Though I cant help but notice that the Star Wars exclusive sets arent on the list anywhere
AllanSmith Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 That's good work there Allan! Though I cant help but notice that the Star Wars exclusive sets arent on the list anywhere My source will pass on the Exclusive and Limited Distribution lists when they arrive
RileyC Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 My source will pass on the Exclusive and Limited Distribution lists when they arrive Ah I see thanks a lot. I was just worried we werent getting them next year for some strange reason.
Grrr Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Thanks Allan, Not too much new lego for me in the first half it appears, which is good as I can then buy more used Lego off bricklink while exchange rates are favourable.
CommanderFox Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 WOW! Thanks for the list Allan! Im really wanting to get all the SW sets from the first wave but I'll need more then $300, this is going to be expensive... As to the second wave, I'll see what I like when we see more pics in the SW rumor topic. Is there any news on more HP sets Allan? I really hope that wasn't all the sets TLG where going to do with this years ones. The Pirates of the Caribbean sets sound exciting, I really can't wait to see what TLG does there! Does anyone have These in Light Bluish Gray and White? Im after one of each colour. I had a look on BL and found some cheap ones but the store's minimum shipping is $2.40 so Im not really keen on that. PM me if you have them and we can talk it through. I would like to pay $0.50 for the both plus shipping, but we can negotiate it if you want. CF

CF Definitely have LBG, should have white but will have to find them, probably with a white project I have packed away. Hi Allan, be nice if the releases all turned up as programmed, but some seem to show up early and others never at all, especially with the Technic sets, though it could be different in the bigger cities. Are you still in Blenheim, I went to toyworld in Nelson once last year and you had just been there, the shop attendant was asking about my collection and mentioned about a collector from Blenheim and I knew it would have been you.
