Alternator Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Has anyone seen the Seasonal Reindeer 40092 or Seasonal Snowman 40093 sets available from the official lego site for New Zealand? (I know they came out a few months ago in the US). It seems a bit ridiculous that they specifically use images of those two sets when promoting christmas sets on the web site, yet neither are even listed on the NZ site (they're sold out on the US version).

jp-30 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) I'll check that out with the kids next I'm in Christchurch, thanks bartneck! Will you also be selling LEGO? Seeing this is a topic in the Sell/Trades forum, am I allowed to try and sort out Simpsons minifig swaps in this thread? Looking at the rules, I think this is OK... apologies if I've misread them. Does anybody in New Zealand want to swap collectible minifigs? For starters I have 4x Simpsons doubles I'd like to swap for other Simpsons series figs. All these are opened, assembled, but not played with. Smokefree house, etc. Bart (+ base, skateboard) Krusty (+ base, pie) Flanders (+ base, coffee cup & tool chest) Marge (+ base, cloth skirt - NO handbag, NO Donut Fancy tile) No bags or instruction sheets included. Will swap for 4 other Simpsons minifigs (not including Homer, Maggie, Apu, Burns, Itchy, Scratchy). Happy to just swap 2 or 3 of my 4 if necessary, but would prefer to swap all 4 at once if there are any takers. Will also look to swap doubles of other non-Simpsons collectible minifigs, if there is any interest in doing this... Edited December 28, 2014 by jp-30
Jern92 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Anyone knows when all the 2015 Lego products will reach NZ? I'm specifically interested to find the Series 13 minifigures, and some new Lego movie sets.

Waiting impatiently for the Double Decker Couch and Series 13 minifigs.
Coopa182 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Anyone knows when all the 2015 Lego products will reach NZ? I'm specifically interested to find the Series 13 minifigures, and some new Lego movie sets. I've been impatiently waiting for the Series 13 Minifigures too. I've been keeping an eye on all the usual places. Toy World mentioned on Facebook the other day that they are coming soon, and on Mighty Ape they have an ETA of 30 Jan. Hopefully there will be at least 20% off sales over Waitangi weekend and stock at places such as Farmers and The Warehouse. Between my children and myself, there are 8 we want to feel out!
jp-30 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Just picked up 4 Series 13 figs from Warehouse Lincoln Road, Auckland. They're hanging up in the regular LEGO aisle. Got 3 great figs and one so-so. Ming style Sci-Fi emperor (just awesome) Snake Charmer (I wanted the snake and turban for some Indiana Jones MOCs, so very happy Unicorn mascot girl (nice) She-Cyclops (meh) There were also some of the new City sets there too, but they're not on my radar.

Argh I passed by a Warehouse earlier and didn't go in. Now I'm going to have to plan another trip there. Anyone knows if other Warehouses have them? I want to feel for specific figures, so I'd need them or Farmers or Toyworld. Toyco wasn't at all happy to see me feeling bags last time. Edited January 10, 2015 by Jern92
jp-30 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Toyworld Henderson doesn't have any collectible minifigs as of this morning. They (and Westgate) tend to put a few boxes out "pre-felt" with the figure number written in vivid on the top of the bag - very handy! I've bought 20+ over the years, and they've never mis-guessed one. They tend to put out a bunch of unmarked ones too (good if all the pre-marked ones you want are gone).

darthtatum Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Im in Christchurch and just went to Toyworld in Shirley. There they have a Managers Sale on Today with heavily discounted stock. Im a massive Lego Star Wars nut so those were the sets that interested me. Red Five XWing Starfighter was $250. Not a lot of stock on hand (compared to the usual display). Well worth a look cantabrians Also just saw this beauty on Trademe. Extremely Tempting http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=831899610
nzkiwiman Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Saw the rest of the 2015 City Lego + Series 13 Mini Figures at Warehouse Mosgiel I'll wait for Toyworld Dunedin to get in their stock so I can get confirmed toys

Thats a decent price for both those sets MISB, if you want them sealed.
Jern92 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Visited the Warehouse in Henderson and for the life of me couldn't find a single snake charmer. Either I'm really bad at feeling for minifigures or someone bought them all. Managed to find 5 other figures I wanted, so don't think I'm that bad.
jp-30 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 The snake is quite soft and rubbery, so you may have missed it if you were expecting a hard plastic one.
Jern92 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 The snake is quite soft and rubbery, so you may have missed it if you were expecting a hard plastic one. I was expecting rubbery, and i did find a couple of rubbery packs, but I couldn't find the flute in them
jp-30 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 The flute was wedged into the bottom of the baseplate on my Snake Charmer.
jp-30 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) I've got a few more Simpsons Minifigs now that I was after, plus a few more doubles. I'm still looking to trade for Itchy, Grandpa Simpson, Nelson and Milhaus. Can offer; Bart (+ base, skateboard) Krusty (+ base, pie) Flanders (+ base, coffee cup & tool chest) Marge (+ base, cloth skirt, handbag, Donut Fancy tile) Maggie (+ base, Bobo Teddy Bear) Itchy (+ base, club) Edited January 14, 2015 by jp-30
Coopa182 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Farmers have 20% off toys until Monday. I'll be busy feeling out the 8 minifigures we want :) $3.99 a pop is about the best I see these days, although I recall 3 for $10 once upon a time.

Wolvennz Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 The Christchurch Brickshow (CBS2015) is happening again on 11th and 12th of July and is rapidly approaching.
