CommanderFox Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Good to hear you're alright Legoman. I hope the clean up goes well down there. P.S as this is a Lego site, how's the Lego? Hows your Death Star you just built again? Yes indeed, good to hear you and your fam and friends are okay, hows epic_red? I noticed he logged on at 2:05 pm today. CF
epic_red Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 CF- I am fine. I was near Governers Bay (near Lyttleton) when the quake struck, helping out as a camp leader. It was pretty violent but everyone at the camp was ok. As for my Lego, no problems as it was all in storage(awaiting to be displayed) so it's fine, how is everyone else?
Matt The Tuba Guy Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 LEGO related, most of my lego was on my floor as made up sets. a couple of my ferraris fell off my table, but no damage apart from a few pieces falling off. my room was probably the least affected in my house actually. so at least 2 others in CHCH. hopefully it is a bit quieter tonight.

Your lego has force powers Matt! It sheltered your room from harm! CF
Legoman Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 Our lego has force powers Matt! It sheltered your room from harm! CF I wish it did the same in my room.. My room is an absolute mess. Even the stuff hanging from the roof (which was fine last time) is all over the floor. All of the sets that fell down last time (apart from the DSII - I moved that after the first quake) are down again ( ) plus many more sets are on the ground in parts. I've barely been in my room much though. My brother is sleeping in my room during the day since he's doing night-shift patrol in the city (he's in the Army) and then I've been sleeping in the lounge since we have 3 others staying with us. Lego's not much of a priority right now though. But I've still been putting my building to use - Built a Long drop toilet (Of wood, not Lego..) We've got power (obviously) but no water. Hope others are doing OK -Sam (Legoman)

I reckon once this all gets cleaned up in the next few months, you should just do a big grey Moc. And the rest, well, you get to build it, All, AGAIN! Good luck to you and all the other CHCHers! CF

nzkiwiman Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Warehouse from 2/3 - 8/3 $17 - Star Wars Battle Packs 30% of Lego City Police - specific set numbers apply (scan was too small to read). If one of those sets is the new mobile police headquarters I think I will have to pick it up.

maelgrim Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Never heard of them, do they have an online shop? Yep http://www.toyco.co.nz/ They are not normally discounted but they do tend to get in the big stuff.
CommanderFox Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Yep http://www.toyco.co.nz/ They are not normally discounted but they do tend to get in the big stuff. Wow, they aren't bad! I noticed they have 7868 Mace's Fighter for $60! thats $30 off the Lego S@H price! This might be a purchase for me! CF
RileyC Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Mace's Starfighter seems like a good price. Thanks for pointing that website out guys! I must check that website out more in the future more because thats a pretty good discount.

harmacy Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Hey all, I have recently relocated from Wellington to Tauranga, so had a good opportunity to stop in at a few TWs up the island on my trip up. Picked up a Grand Emporium from Hastings TW for $270 (They now have 1 left - so give them a call if you are looking for one - Its a pretty good price on a now hard to find kit). Also saw a few of the 7897 Passenger trains in Napier TW (!!!!!) - plus they were having a 20% off storewide sale. Its my 3rd day in Tauranga today, so Im having a bit of a look around to see whats available up here.

If your keen on a fire brigade there's a $1 res one on TradeMe on $82 at the moment. Edit, just found out that the shipping for Mace's fighter set is $6, so a total of $65.90 which is still great!

AoNZ Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Hey so are those exclusive sets out now? Mace's Fighter Battle for Geonosis Thanks
Brickthing Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Hey so are those exclusive sets out now? Mace's Fighter Battle for Geonosis Thanks I saw Battle for Geonosis at Kmart for a ridiculous $80-$90 price, but it's available now.
CommanderFox Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Hey so are those exclusive sets out now? Mace's Fighter Battle for Geonosis Thanks maelgrim provided a link to a NZ store in St Lukes Auckland, which has an online store, they have Mace's fighter for $60 with $6 shipping. Or you can get one on TradeMe for $90. I saw Battle for Geonosis at Kmart for a ridiculous $80-$90 price, but it's available now. Good to know it has hit the shelves! Not a great price though for the size-piece count. Just asked on the contact us page on ToyCo if they are getting any Battle For Geonosis' in and what price will they be selling them at so hopefully will get a response some time tomorrow or next day and will post here. CF

CF Brickthing mentioned that this set is in Kmart for $80 to $90. I think that means this set is exclusive to Kmart and we won't see it in Farmers or Warehouse. At least not initially.
