this a tiny brick Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 If you flick me a list of what you need I can go through our spares to see if we can help you out, I managed 3500 pieces towards a second Falcon so I don't have to open mine up haha, would love the UCS ISD as well as the blockade runner, just don't have the funds.
harmacy Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Looks like you need a few more posts to use the messaging system (total of 10 I think??)....
this a tiny brick Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah, I wasn't sure if you were able to message me though, considering I have been viewing the forums for years, just to slack to post comments lol

Dragonator Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Finally making some progress clearing my room of old builds and unsorted stuff, but I still find myself with far far too many boxes than I have room for sadly, might have to think about parting with some of my Star Wars sets! Can't say I'm overly attached to a lot of the smaller sets anymore, my interests remain as they always have in castles and trains/city. I might tentatively put a few things on TradeMe soon, or possibly just part things out into my storage, not entirely sure. Selling Lego just seems like such a sin to me! I just netted the Hobbit sets over Christmas, nothing much else of interest to me about.
nzkiwiman Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Saw my first 2014 sets at Farmers Dunedin today (only one of each on the shelf) Creator 31017 (Orange Car) Creator 31018 (Green Bike) City 60056 (Tow Truck) Does anyone know what months what lines are coming out?
harmacy Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Not often one of these treasures comes up on TM - http://www.trademe.co.nz/toys-models/lego-building-toys/lego/sets/auction-685559606.htm I notice that its a photo off the internets though... but $650 is not a bad starting price.

LukeWarmTea Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Hey has anyone seen/heard of the Disney Princess line being sold down under? The Tower looks pretty boss, but is unavailable in NZ on S@H - are they going to be released here you reckon?
Legoman Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Hmmm, I assume they're getting here eventually, but it would be pretty common for them to get here a month or 3 late.. Seems there have been a few deals around the place recently. I'll be keeping an eye on the Warehouse clearances to see if they do any crazy deals to move stock - they often do. Wouldn't mind some of the Lone Ranger sets if they get really cheap. Question, I don't suppose anyone here has the PotC Queen Anne's Revenge ship do they? I regret not buying one for myself back in the day - would be keen to buy or trade for one (I have a gold C-3PO burning a hole in my pocket..)
LukeWarmTea Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Sorry Legoman, no go on the PotC QARS. That's a long name. I do have some old Bellville and Technic sets I don't mind parting with, if anyone is keen. Found the boxes for two of them, a tramping set and a technic digger.
LukeWarmTea Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Hey Pigpen, it's 8828, not including the extra powered set. Battered box and instructions, but they are there, and I think the set is complete too (I was one of those kids). I don't know much about it, must have been released in the early '90s?
ColdBricks Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Hi all.

I know someone with at least 1 new one, if she decides to sell it ill let you know, I know she has been thinking about selling some of her sets.

They've got the Cargo Train 7939 at half price at the moment, $200 down from $399. I figure anything at half price is a good deal. (I'd grab one, but just finished Bricklinking my Darth Maul, so feeling very very poor at the moment :( C.
LukeWarmTea Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 ARGH! I'm spitting mad! Has anyone else seen what The Simpson's House is retailing for here? $400 bucks! I thought this was meant to be a 'family friendly' set! What a joke! Oh it's my own fault, I got excited when I saw it'd be $200 USD (or about $240NZD) and while I knew it would never be that cheap, I had expected $300, and hoped for less - but $400?!, how many extreme Simpson's fans does NZ have? I doubt it will sell well at that price, and then TLC will just go "Oh, we never get good sales in NZ for specialty sets, let's not bother" like they have done in the past and I will be even madder. Grump grump! Translated back into USD, $400 NZD is like $330 bucks. How is there a hundred and thirty dollars difference? Shipping costs surely don't add up to that? What the hell! /rant.
harmacy Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Yep - totally agree re - Simpsons house. There are already multiple copies up on BL - thats where I'm heading.....
pigpen Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 WOW, $400.00 for the Simpson house. Just put my name down at the local TW so I could put it on layby, didn't know it was that much, I'm a big fan of Simpsons but not that much. Oh well better start saving and talk to friends in the US and UK see who can ship it over here for me.
pigpen Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Just got the last 7939 on shelf at my local WH. I'm parting it out, so if you want anything let me know. I'm keeping the tracks and also the tanker carriage for myself. so the PF, overhead crane, carriages (container and car carrier) truck and trailer with container are available.
Darth Kram Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Talked to my local TW the other day and asked when they would be stocking the 2014 Technic and they said not till April, which is a bit annoying. I would get it from S@H but I've got a voucher for TW that I'd like to use.
LukeWarmTea Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 April is ridiculous close now, it won't be long! I like TW for most things, but my Lyall Bay local is terrible with Lego. Lots of "Dunno? Is that Lego?" etc. Mind you, we mostly buy Friends And yes, I may BL/buy from the UK (family) but it feels so stupid. Even $300, which is still higher than the US etc, would have been fairer.
Legoman Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 In all fairness, NZ having a 100% markup from the states isn't all that uncommon. It has dropped a little over the last couple of years, but I'm not overly surprised. At over 2500 parts, It's still a little less than the typical 20c/part of other licensed sets in NZ. None the less, good savings to be had online for this one! Looks like a fantastic build and set.
harmacy Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Saw the new SW / City / Creator sets in TW Tauranga today - quite keen to get those DS troopers! Also had Lego Movie figs in.
LukeWarmTea Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 I've already seen Junior sets in stores, is that normal? Most of the sites I've visited state them as 'Not released yet'
