Fatteh Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 The local warewhare was crammed full of lego when I dropped in yesterday. All the HP sets, POTC, Pharoah's Quest and new Ninjago. Even up against some fairly stiff competition, the new SW stuff still really stands out for its gobsmacking prices. Try picking up one of the $80 Geonosian Starfighter boxes. There's probably BPs that weigh more. No sign of the Frigate or the MF.

That doesn't sound like a great price for parts ratio for the Geonosian set, I guess the figs make up for it though and some nice parts. Nice to here warehouse is stocked up! Might go round sometime this week and have a looky. CF
Fatteh Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Is 7869 Battle for Geonosis still available anywhere in NZ? I think someone here mentioned it had been cleared from their local kmart months ago.

Fatteh Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Bunch at Dunedin Kmart - full price though ($89) Cheers. Will send an agent from the southern bureau next time there's a sale.

Fatteh Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Does anyone here buy direct from US stores? Seems like a good option with the current dollar and the State's special treatment by TLG. The shipping costs I found were surprisingly low too. For example, the Wampa Cave set can be landed from B&N for less than NZ$65. That's not a discount I would expect to see for the TW and Farmers exclusives in a hurry. [Please ignore the noob if this has already been done to death]

That's not a discount I would expect to see for the TW and Farmers exclusives in a hurry. [Please ignore the noob if this has already been done to death] Ive bought heaps off Bricklink from US sellers, but havent gone down the B&N path. Having a look though, Im very keen on getting a Fallingwater set this way - The 'to door' price works out at just over $120NZD, which is quite good. I have heard of other NZ EB members using B&N, and they've reported no issues. Could be a good way to go for smaller purchases. Shame they dont do the 10xxx sets, but that would defeat the purpose of 'Exclusives'. If you specifically want a Wampa cave, Ive seen them on Clearance at Kmart for $49 though.... I guess its like anything - shop around for the best deals (and them share them here!!!!)
Lego Pinocchio Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Hey I'm back lol anyway just picked up Hogwarts castle 4842 and there were a tonne of different Lego sets there (this was at the warehouse by the way)It is full of sets, they must have renewed their stock because the website is now restocked as well!!!

They have indeed just restocked online, first wave harry potter sets are back up and Knight Bus is online for sale aswell! I guess the forbidden forest and hogwarts battle either sold out quick or have not been put up online yet. The new SW sets are listed online but only buyable at the store's. CF
Callum Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Just a heads up. The Warehouse Dunedin Central just got 13 pallets of toys which are for an upcoming toysale :)
nzkiwiman Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Just a heads up. The Warehouse Dunedin Central just got 13 pallets of toys which are for an upcoming toysale :) Wow!

Sounds like everyone is getting ready for the big mid year sale! I sense alot of action coming soon! 66377 sounds excellent, hopefully it will be priced better with the BPs, compared to just the geonosis battle set. Does anyone know the sale dates for Kmart or Warehouse? Thanks CF
nzkiwiman Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Pretty sure with the school holidays starting on the 16th, the Warehouse will start Toy Sale on the 13th and Kmart on the 14th .. I have no insider knowedge however and could be very wrong. Oh what a time to be unemployed.

nzkiwiman Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Kmart had put out the Value Pack 66377, regaular price is $119. Not sure if this will be cheaper during the sale (which starts on Thursday) Saw new HP sets in Toyworld that were not there on Thursday (perhaps needed to be unboxed) 4840 - The Burrow $130 10217 - Diagon Alley - $300 (USA Box) 4738 - Hagrid's Hut $? 4737 - Quidditch Match $? (Sorry, camera didn't quite catch the prices on the last items)

(Sorry, camera didn't quite catch the prices on the last items) Not bad, that puts the BPs at $15 each then, which is much better. Nice to see someone has diagon alley sets in! Im hoping Kmart will have some and then reduce them like the drop ship set. CF
nzkiwiman Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Right, by doing a big of URL changing I managed to find the Warehouse mailer for the toy sale - with prices. (Unfortunally I couldn't download it) LEGO CITY Police Station 7498 - $130 LEGO Pharaohs Quest Scarab Attack 7305 $10 LEGO Pharaohs Quest Golden Staff Guardians 7306 $20 LEGO Pharaohs Quest Flying Mummy Attack 7307 $40 LEGO Pharaohs Quest Cursed Cobra Statue 7325 $60 LEGO Pharaoh's Quest Rise Of The Sphinx 7326 $100 - no sale, just advertised Harry Potter Freeing Dobby™ 4736 $20 (regular $25) Harry Potter Quidditch Match 4737 $36 (regular $45) Harry Potter Knight Bus 4866 $57 (regular $70) Harry Potter Hogwarts™ Castle 4842 $216 (regular $260) 20% off all Lego City LEGO CITY Town Value Pack 66362 $80 LEGO CITY Crawler Crane $60?

harmacy Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Compared to the possible items that could have been on sale and compared to the Big W, Kmart and Target sale in Australia this is pathetic. I concur - thats a let down really..... Was in Kmart Bayfair today and they had boxes and boxes of unpacked Lego waiting to be unleashed - hopefully they do better deals than The Warehouse. Good to see Diagon Alley in NZ shops though.

Agreed. I might get a quidditch set, $36 isn't bad, but other than that, i think i'll see what Kmart has to offer with prices. CF
