evil_elmo Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) toyworld tower junction has alot of stock of the new set picked up a venator for $239, it was on my must buy list for 09 just need to find the battle of endor set now Edited May 30, 2009 by evil_elmo
KnightlyKnight Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Went out to 'North city' this morning, Farmers didn't have the echo base but it was at TW and the warehouse. Anakins fighter was at most places, and so was the separatists shuttle No sign of home one, the Venerator, or battle of endor yet. I really want echo base but the box is just so darn light and I don't like buying a $50 set that is really just an overpriced battlepack...
harmacy Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Went to farnmers Cuba Mall,Wellington today, and no new sets. As LegoMan said earlier, Toyworld Megastore Wellington has some of the new sets. Must say the Venator was a bit smaller than anticipated, and Echo Base was overpriced, but I want that Tauntaun!!!! On another note, One of my workmates was selling some of his Lego sets that he had hidden away in shoeboxes for several years. For $400, I got - UCS X wing, UCS TIE Interceptor, UCS ATST and the Sandcrawler. No boxes for any, but all parts (and all figs for Sandcrawler) were there with instructions. Im very very stoked :)

Im very very stoked :) Cool does He have any ep 3 sets??? .... 7283 by chance so does everywhere except Toyworld have almost all the sets??? I think what im gonna do is wait till Kmart have them and hopefully at lower RRP then when they have a sale I'll take em all (all the sets I want) CommanderFox edit: I think Roncanator that the pirate tank and the MF and Home one are probably gonna come out in a third wave maybe around August or September with this suprise set... "The fifth and final set is still clouded in mystery. LEGO Ambassadors were contacted in January 2008 with a request for fan imput into a second fans' choice. The LEGO company plans to reveal the identity of this new set-which undoubtedly will be as exciting and iconic as the rest of the line-in August, 2009 prior to its retail release in September."

Brickthing Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 I went to Farmers Glenfield today and they had the Sep Shuttle and Y-Wing there, although they were in opened LEGO shipping boxes discretely under the shelves (probably being saved till the 20% off sale is over ). I didn't have time to check the other toy stores there though.
Legoman Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 toyworld tower junction has alot of stock of the new setpicked up a venator for $239, it was on my must buy list for 09 just need to find the battle of endor set now Really? Thats funny, i went there yesterday and they only had the Sep shuttle, CIS tank and y-wing. But nice. Went to farnmers Cuba Mall,Wellington today, and no new sets.

Im very very stoked :) Woah thats amazing.... Lucky you! Anyway, i just got back from northlands. Farmers had nothing, but at toyworld i spent up. I got a solar sailor ($96 ) and 2 hoth bases at $40 each. Sweet! I also talked to someone about endor. Apparently thats not coming out for another month or so - strange, but OK i guess.
RileyC Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Anyway, i just got back from northlands. Farmers had nothing, but at toyworld i spent up. I got a solar sailor ($96 ) and 2 hoth bases at $40 each. Sweet! $40! man thats pretty cheap an $96 fo the solar sailer. Now im annoyed i paid $120 for it . I have yet to go into toy stores to see wether they have any of the new sets. Im hoping they have the sep. shuttle hoth base maybe the endor set (if its available) or the venator.
CommanderFox Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Does anyone know if Kmart are getting the SS and Ahsoka's fighter or are they just exclusives for Toyworld??? CommanderFox
RileyC Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Does anyone know if Kmart are getting the SS and Ahsoka's fighter or are they just exclusives for Toyworld??? CommanderFox Im pretty sure they are just toyworld exclusives. I would advice getting the solar sailer but if you already have a vulture droid and ashoka I dont think its really that necessary to have. Although it goes awesome with anakin's starfighter
Legoman Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 $40! man thats pretty cheap and $96 fo the solar sailer. Now im annoyed i paid $120 for it . I have yet to go into toy stores to see wether they have any of the new sets. Im hoping they have the sep. shuttle hoth base maybe the endor set (if its available) or the venator. Yeah, i just finished building the hoth's. I must say i'm quite happy with it. Not nearly as overpriced as others have said. And the tauntaun is + 5 figs! it rocks.... And yeah well, thats the thing, patenience is a great skill to have, it saves you a lot
Dragonator Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Yeah, i just finished building the hoth's. I must say i'm quite happy with it. Not nearly as overpriced as others have said. And the tauntaun is + 5 figs! it rocks.... I concur with that! I also just finished building the Separatist shuttle, and the figures truly are fantastic! I hated the M&g@bl%$king stickers though, those ones that go on the fron gave me hell and really didn't go on very well at all. BOO stickers!

I hated the M&g@bl%$king stickers though, those ones that go on the fron gave me hell and really didn't go on very well at all. BOO stickers! Yeah, that was the first of the new sets i got. And i agree those stickers were really anoying, how do they expect kids to be pricise enough to get them on right? But over all, i'm loving all of my new sets...
RileyC Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 ah! now i feel like i missing something really special! I need to get them.
CommanderFox Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Same here Roncanator I haven't got anything new yet either must save up for new sets....MUST CommanderFox
Legoman Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) I just finished bilding the solar sailor. Wow. It's far bigger than i expected! I like it - a lot! Edited May 30, 2009 by legoman
CommanderFox Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) WAAAHAAA no fair Sam your making me ENVIOUS anyway ill get my sets soon CommanderFox Edited May 30, 2009 by CommanderFox
Legoman Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 WAAAHAAA no fair Sam your making me ENVIOUS anyway ill get my sets soon CommanderFox LOL... Anyway don't worry, that's about all the spending i'll do for now. Next spendathon ain't till Endor Might get a couple more hoths later on if i find them cheap though... I really like 'em.
RileyC Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 so the new star wars sets that are available are hoth sep shuttle tank droid and the venator? have i missed any?
Legoman Posted May 31, 2009 Author Posted May 31, 2009 so the new star wars sets that are available are hoth sep shuttle tank droid and the venator? have i missed any? The Y-wing
RileyC Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 The Y-wing oh yea i thought i was missing 1 How much does the venator cost?
RileyC Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 $300, but it's currently on sale for $240. wow thats expensive. I will probably buy it off bricklink it should be cheaper that way
evil_elmo Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 will brinklink be that much cheaper? by the time you pay for shipping and factor in the exchange rate plus the worry of getting ripped off $240 didnt doesnt seem to bad, unless you can get it for under $200
