CommanderFox Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Yeah I check the SW catorgeory on TM about 2-3 times daily just to make shore nothing good passes right under me nose that guy also sold an Endor set for $160 to danny36 sorry if you are here danny and danny was the one who got the Death Star for $450, talk about some sweet buying danny Oh well he was in luck CommanderFox

Thats just a waste of money on this side of the bargain. If he puts up anymore great set at great prices then ill try hard to get them. very hard indeed.
evil_elmo Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 When I see deals like that ... the question that pops into my head is why are they selling it so cheap? What's wrong with it? Or do you think its a Kmart staff getting it at some special staff rate? If it is too good to be true then maybe it is too good to be true. Anyway maybe I'm just paranoia which explains even if I had seen that $250 ATOT deal ... I still won't be the one who gets it because I'll be wondering what's wrong while someone else picks it up. not sure what the discount is for working at kmart but like all things in retail there would be a least 100% mark up maybe the guy works at a toy store and is getting it for cost......also remember he is probably still making money on the set even at those prices
Fumoffu Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) Just got back from my local Kmart with these to report: AT-OT is now $329 Midi Scale Falcon is $60 Temple of Doom is $130 Cairo is $20 Venice Chase is $60 Fighter Plane Attack is $90 Chauchilla Cemetery is $40 Those IJ prices are really sharp ... and its 15% off on top of it. Edited July 10, 2009 by Fumoffu
CommanderFox Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 YAY!!! disouncted still would like atleast $100 down more but it's a start yeah those are pretty steep prices for IJ oh well im just with SW this year so it makes no difference to me, sorry no offence to you IJ fans. CommanderFox

I have to say that I totally think like you do most of the time. But I do keep an eye on trademe for those few things that I still want. I find that getting a good deal on Trademe is a lot about patience and waiting for/taking the good opportunities when they come up. There is defiantly that element of risk when buying things sometimes tho. But the only thing that is for sure is that if you don't look, you are guaranteed to miss out on the deals. However, while the bargains can be good, the amount of time that you have to spend checking trademe often isn't worth it, and you won't find everything at the price you want. It really depends how much of a cheapskate you are and how much time you have to kill whether it's worth it. Back on topic, am I correct in my understanding that those new kmart IJ prices are pre-discount? Edited July 10, 2009 by KnightlyKnight
CommanderFox Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) Oh.............it's gone..........oh well there goes my chance at a cheap 10195 I should have acted quicker. Hopefully he has more, but I dought it Well good job for someone who bought it, maybe your on here, fantastic buy Thanks for your help guys CommanderFox Edited July 10, 2009 by CommanderFox

Back on topic, am I correct in my understanding that those new kmart IJ prices are pre-discount? Yes. Those are pre-discount prices so you can take another 15% off. I'm really tempted to get a couple of items. Probably will pick up at least the Cairo and Chauchilla Cemetery set. I don't have a crystal skull and I think the Chauchilla Cemetery set may be the cheapest set with it. I might be wrong there. I'm not that into IJ so I don't keep up with it as much.
CommanderFox Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Hey guys!! The guy who has been selling the cheap SW sets on TM is putting more SW sets on tonight from 9PM onwards, he said he might have another 10195, if he does im snapping it up straight away! im not going to miss out this time! Good luck with getting some bargains, that is if he has good sets on. CommanderFox
Dragonator Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Dang it!!!!!!It sold With all this excitement over these TradeMe finds, I thought it might be worth noting that danny36 is a Lego dealer based in Wellington, and will likely sell all those sets on later for profit, something I am very annoyed about. It would be nice if someone who actually wanted the set had a chance to grab it at that price...

CommanderFox Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) What you got the AT-OT? Congrats on whatever you got maing! Yup I got the AT-OT , but that also means NO!! buying any more SW lego for awhile now (parents say ) oh well at least I got the set I wanted . Thanks for your help guys WOW he has tons!!! of SW 09 sets , still the 8019 isn't a good deal, you can get it at Kmart for $84. I forgot to say I went to Kmart albany today and they had 31 AT-OTs, 17 death stars and around 40 Vaders ties obviously not selling much 10195s so will probably come down even more. They also had Nute's shuttle(quite afew), Ani's Y-wing (quite afew), afew Echo bases and snail tanks, and quite afew BPs and around 10 or so attack shuttles. He has a V-19 on!!
