Legoman Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, does anyone know the approximate shipping rates from the Barnes and Noble store? I can't seem to find prices for them on the website. And when do they update their store to fill it with the new sets? Star Wars doesn't have the new wave up yet. Thanks Their postage rates are.. intresting. Very good, but strange. The size of the set ordered has absolutely no effect at all. No matter what sets you buy, it's (pritty much) $12USD for the first, plus $6USD each additional. Quite good for bigger sets. They just have a selection of stocked lego on their site. It changes whenever they feel like changing it They've got some of the new sets, but not all of them. It'd be a gamble to just hope they put them online. It's pritty much 'what's listed is what they've got'. But do be careful, They do sometimes have to cancel orders since their stocking system sucks They had to cancell a Krusty Crab and Kings castle from my last order Good luck! There's a lot of room to save by buying through them Edited August 21, 2011 by Legoman
epic_red Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Got the Series 5 Graduate at The Warehouse the other day. He's pretty good, but I only found him because of his certificate. Next on my list are the Godzilla and the Gladiator ! Edited August 24, 2011 by epic_red
nzkiwiman Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Saw the following at local Warehouse (Mosgiel, Dunedin) 6918 Blacksmith Attack 7049 Alien Striker 7050 Alien Defender 7051 Tripod invader
RileyC Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Not sure if this has been said or not but Farmers has the Hoth Echo Base set. I'm not sure if I really want it anyway and I forgot to check the price.

Thanks Im not quite sure to be honest with you... I don't recall seeing the collectible figs series 1,2,3,4 at kmart. Anyone know why the albany warehouse hasnt got these minifigs in ?
harmacy Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Hey guys - does anyone have any of these hanging around that they dont want / need anymore? BL Link in ANY colour or condition. Im after around 50 of them. Was going to order off BL, but am trying to avoid the inevitably high postage cost from the US.

Im after around 50 of them. Was going to order off BL, but am trying to avoid the inevitably high postage cost from the US. Aaaactually, I find postage from the US can be very similar to postage from NZ for anything larger than an envelope... YMMV.
jonwil Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 AN AMAZING_brick_BAZAAR in Australia has 39 of em in black (and postage from .au shouldn't be as expensive as postage from .us)
nk4002r Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Im not quite sure to be honest with you... I don't recall seeing the collectible figs series 1,2,3,4 at kmart. Anyone know why the albany warehouse hasnt got these minifigs in ? Not only Kmart, but Farmers also has Series 5. The first series were only sold by Toy World & The Warehouse, if I correctly remember. Toy World Palmerston North has Series 2,3,4 & 5 and all of them are marked #1 through 16 with black marker ! So you can quite easily pick out what you need without being touchy feely ! I was quite surprised, excellent service, unfortunately I did not get a chance to buy any. (I have a complete set of 4 & 5 for sale).

Toyworld Lower Hutt does the same. I only live 5 minutes walk from Toyworld Wellington but drive to Lower Hutt because I don't have to feel the bags They will also ring you when they restock the counter box with ones that you were after. Excellent service

Haven't been able to "feel" a clown or gangster yet... One day.....

Batmayne Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Toyworld in Browns Bay has them. Was feeling for figures there in the weekend and got another gladiator. Haven't been able to "feel" a clown or gangster yet... One day..... Its a difficult task the clown... I almost gave up and was on my way to the counter and then i thought one more try. Grabbed a pack and it felt rite ! Find the legs, try to move the legs, if they dont move its either a dwarf or a clown
jonwil Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Finding the clown can be done by looking for the hat or the pie. Finding the gangster is best done by looking for the fedora or the instrument case.
nzkiwiman Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Thanks to Farmers having 20% off Toys for Club members I finally gave in and got some Series 5 minifigures. Decided not to bother with packet feeling as I am really turned off by that this time around and went for random grab. Managed to get 3 Clowns doing that but oh well. Shall wait till I have some sort of income before getting anymore as hunt for them has warn off.
kiwishark Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Picked up a series 5 gangster at Albany Kmart and a Detective for my boy who wanted a "spyglass". Helped out a mum looking for an evil dwarf too (came across 3 of those before I found the detective... still no clown). In other news, series 5 is at the Albany Warehouse, along with the new Kingdoms and Alien Conquest sets. Picked up a Mill Village Raid for me.$150, but had vouchers, so no stress from the wife
Legoman Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 Hey ya'll. I know this isn't to do with sales or anything, so sorry in advance But I've just finished (minus 1 or 2 touchups that may come along) My Cathedral MOC.. Seeing as we're all kiwi's, some of you might like to see it Chrsitchurch Cathedral Please do let me know what you think
evil_elmo Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Does anyone know which shop has the pet shop set? I try both toyworlds here in christcurch and they are both sold out
AllanSmith Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Does anyone know which shop has the pet shop set? I try both toyworlds here in christcurch and they are both sold out Get them to ring around the other Toyworld's to send them one. Toyworld Wellington had 5 last week.
evil_elmo Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Get them to ring around the other Toyworld's to send them one. Toyworld Wellington had 5 last week. i gave them my details and they are going to contact the other stores around the country to see if anyone else has stock
nk4002r Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 i gave them my details and they are going to contact the other stores around the country to see if anyone else has stock Cool, hopefully you can get one from them. If that search does not help, you might also try iqtoys.co.nz - they got the 10218 $300 shipped.
RileyC Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Saw this: TM's hot auctions: Rugby Game. Cool that they made it for charity but I could've done a better job... Modded soccer grand stands anyone?
