Alternator Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) It's still pricey but perhaps not as punishingly so as I was expecting that set to be - I'll be giving it some very serious consideration! (although Lego seem to be putting out a lot of good larger sets in this second half - things could get expensive quick). P.S. It could be too late in the day/weekend but it seems that Toy-World in Lower Hutt is doing a buy 1 get 1 half price sale, I'm only hearing this secondhand (you may want to call and confirm??), and I have no idea if it applies to other Toy-Worlds or not.

OpusMcN Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Jabba's Palace on warehouse red e-deals this morning for $189 if anyone's interested And Mighty Ape just put up a competing special for the same set for $187. I guess they're watching as well :)
Nikkiwi Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Hi guys, I've just run an auction for some LEGO on trademe, and it closed with no bids. Before I go ahead with some other options, would some of you like to take a look at it and see if there is anything glaring that made it not sell. Any feedback appreciated, as I'm unsure what went wrong. I didn't think it was unreasonably priced, compared to other auctions out there, but the market obviously didn't agree. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=605964495 Cheers Nick

Probably advice wise, perhaps including a bit more info on the sets that are involved. Edited June 26, 2013 by Alternator

Probably advice wise, perhaps including a bit more info on the sets that are involved. Thanks for that - the Yellow car instructions belong to set 4939 -1 creator set. There was most of the car in the 2.1kgs, but in the end I couldn't be bothered seperating it out (lots of little pieces). I might do just that before I re-list, see if it can be sold as an additional set. I noticed at least one other bulk lot failed to sell, maybe it was just the trademe gods in action, or else I listed the auction to close the day before everyone's payday...lol Cheers Nick
Alternator Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) The lego shop online is having a 30% off sale on several items. http://shop.lego.com...Sales-And-Deals Of course you'll need to put together an order to trigger free shipping (about $200) to be worth it (there are a few interesting items, but perhaps not enough unless you're already planning an order) Edited June 27, 2013 by Alternator
vmln8r Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Nikkiwi: take a picture with all the parts spread out in a thin layer, people will go nuts.
Fatteh Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) 10188 Death Star is going for $760 at Mighty Ape until the end of the month. Hmmmmm. Could probably still get a better deal offshore. Anyone had any experience importing one of these? Edit: Also, cheap promo items at Toyplanet: http://www.toyplanet.co.nz/browse.php?src=adv&keyword=promotional&category=&brand=65&price_range=&age=&gender= Edited July 1, 2013 by Fatteh
OpusMcN Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Mighty Ape has just put a big toy sale, 231 lego items reduced. I sense a White House architecture set coming my way.... C.
oddjob Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 IQ Toys reigns supreme in terms of NZ Lego sales. Always at least 20% off.
CommanderFox Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Just reading my weekly Warehouse mailer, noticing The Great Annual Toy Sale starts online at 7am on Friday! Starts in store at 6am on Saturday. Im sensing some good deals both in store and online, will have to keep my eyes on the site on friday morning! CF Edited July 3, 2013 by CommanderFox
CommanderFox Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Nothing special really in terms of the sale on warehouse' website. I may have been too late? Was anyone up at 6am to see the deals online? I got an email yesterday from Toyworld, they are having an upto 60% off sale storewide, not sure when though. Also next thursday - 11th July, they are having 25% off ALL Lego! So some of the larger sets should be priced alot lower. Here's a link to the sneak preview. CF

I didn't see anything that really jumped out at me, there might be one or two small sets that I look at picking up, but I'll probably do that in store instead. Damn, now I'm torn between waiting for toy world or placing an order in mightyapes sale. Edit: I should say that the 31012 Family house seems like a good price from their sale - I've already got it (which is why I didn't notice), but I think it was $85 vs the rrp of $130, perhaps there will be other items that hit a good price in stores as I suspect they don't list everything they sell online?!

evil_elmo Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Does anyone know if toy world have the cinema palace?
Nikkiwi Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Does anyone know if toy world have the cinema palace? I beleive I saw it at Toyworld Albany, but not 100% sure
evil_elmo Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I beleive I saw it at Toyworld Albany, but not 100% sure I just rung my local toy world and they have the cinema palace in stock too...yay! Bring on the 11th
oddjob Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Haven't seen the Palace Cinema at my local; or the Pet Shop for that matter. I'm after both.
pigpen Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 the Warehouse has Lego City Dump truck 4434 for $23.97 (RRP 39.99) in the weekend. Don't know if it is still on today etc. just about 1/2 price.
Bricktrain Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 The warehouse had a few sets marked down and all city at 20% off on the weekend. Last week I saw a girl putting the Lone Ranger sets on the shelves but they must have pulled them as they werent there on the weekend, I guess they are meant to go out after the movie opens here, I think next month?

I think I've seen the lone ranger sets at quite a few stores over the past few weeks - Warehouses included.
Bricktrain Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I think I've seen the lone ranger sets at quite a few stores over the past few weeks - Warehouses included. Definitely none on the shelves tonight when I went in. Ended up buying more city sets as I wont get to Toyworlds sale on Thursday.
harmacy Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Great to see the Lego story on Campbell Live tonight. However, Im not sure why people balk at the idea of 50k on Lego - There are way more expensive hobbies that dont offer half the cognitive potential as our beloved brick! Looking forward to the Chch show guys!!!
evil_elmo Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Picked up cinema palace this morning from toyworld tower junction. They seem to be a few lego fans out this morning saw a person with a trolley full and a few other people with cinema palace in there hands Anyone from here?
