Fumoffu Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Check above the shelves as well, if that's where your Toyworld keeps their newest LEGO sets. Chances are that if they've got it, they're keeping it of the shelves, so that they don't need to loose 20% (and most of their profit) from it. They might not appreciate you trying to buy it if you find it, but you might be able to talk them into selling just one. My Toyworld took their Echo Base sets off the shelves for the duration of the sale. I suppose its their business so they can do what they want but that's not the way to get loyal happy customers. I haven't seen it myself but I just got told that Whitcoulls has 25% off toys and games for the month of July. Anyone able to confirm that? I might need to go check out the Whitcoulls at Botany then because they usually have a good selection of Lego (compared to other Whitcoulls). I used to have a loyalty card where you get 1 point for each $1 you spend and when you get 100 points they give you a $5 off voucher. Better dig that out too.
CommanderFox Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) Hey 3D Brickthing, are you relating to Toyworld browns bay? Because I think ive seen them put sets up at the top of the Lego shelves before Sorry if Ive offended anyone in my last post, Im just aware that we where getting off-topic. Thanks for the heads up Fumoffu Ill try to nip in to my local Whitcoulls sometime. CommanderFox Edited July 16, 2009 by CommanderFox
Ravi Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Ravi congrats on leading the auction...I might join you in the bidding if it doesn't get to high CommanderFox Looks like there's still good deals to be had on trademe. Good luck Ravi with the Tank Droid. Its a tidy little set.Toyworld sale ending this weekend and no Pirate Tank yet!! I'm going to try to get to a Toyworld Sunday afternoon and hope I'm lucky. Thanks Guys Someone might be intrested in this Lego Star Wars - Imperial Starship http://www.trademe.co.nz/Toys-models/Lego-...n-230708707.htm
RileyC Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) hehe, all that aside, i doubt toyworld will have the pirate tank by sunday. They're the kind who'll release it after the sale Yea that will probably happen. They probably already have them out the back just waiting, taunting us. EDIT: I have also noticed that on the warehouse website they are no longer listing the home one. I wonder what happened to it? Edited July 17, 2009 by Roncanator

Thanks for the heads up Fumoffu Ill try to nip in to my local Whitcoulls sometime. CommanderFox Yup, that's the one. I went to Kmart Albany today, and they had the Robo Attack for only $77, which is cheaper than the $100 on S@H. I hope that's not a mistake, because it'll be an awesome deal when the next LEGO sale comes on.

YES I can't wait for that next sale Kmart are very generous with there RRP prices so when sales come it's give away prices I think they hopefully will do another in about 1-2 months, then my parents will be over the whole stop buying lego thing Thanks for that heads up, and BTW was there any 10195s or DS's there at Kmart albany?? Im curious to see if they sold em all and if they didn't are they selling them cheaper?? Thanks CommanderFox
Fumoffu Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Just got back Whitcoulls. It is 25% off toys and games but its only till this Sun (19th). The shelves look really bare. Everyone must have got there before me.

Ravi Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Hey Trademe person put up another batch of cheap legos http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=910148
Legoman Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 Hey Trademe person put up another batch of cheap legos http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=910148 IMO, the ventor is the only one thats a REALLY good price. The others are kinda... meh. But i don't want a ventor anyway, so... I'll keep watch, she's still listing stuff.

I'll keep watch, she's still listing stuff. Let's hope that now I can finaly get the AAT... Also, check this stuff out, it's some of the Rare/hardtofind/uncommon/stuff of my collection, And I want It all gone. I'd be happy to trade, but coz your all from NZ it's easier if you guys want it, or even buy it, I'm putting it up on trademe too. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31348
RileyC Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Damn I missed the venator. I would really love to get it at a great price because it looks like a good set. What price did it go for? Edited July 17, 2009 by Roncanator
Dragonator Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 She's put her price up for the ATOT. That's not very nice!
Ravi Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Hey She put upa couple of cheap city, pirate and indiana jones sets Eg Garage 7642 for 100. Retail price is 170 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=910148
Fumoffu Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 huck to flat There's another AAT for $65. Have you talked your parent round to getting it for you? Those guys who picked up the AT-OT for $250 will be feeling even better now. Well Done CommanderFox. I don't tend to get non-Star Wars stuff but Blackbeard's Bounty is looking pretty good.
CommanderFox Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Thanks for that Fumoffu I am very happy I got it at that price and am feeling more happy that I got it quickly or would have had to pay $70 more, I think shes just charging abit more cause its her last one which I can understand. huck to flat I think you should just grab that AAT, I got my 7681 fox set on TM then told my parents afterwards and they seemed fine with it so you should just grab it now then tell them when it arrives in the mail good luck CommanderFox EDIT: Hey check this out I really want this set because I love it and because I need Jango and Boba for my Geonosis, so am wondering: is it a good price and is it worth while getting?? If I can get past my parents and get this that would be soooo AWESOME!!! Thanks Edited July 17, 2009 by CommanderFox

If I can get past my parents and get this that would be soooo AWESOME!!! Thanks Its a pretty good buy if you want or need it then get it. I am tempted but I would rather wait because they will probably release it sometime soon (hopefully ).

Anyway I just want to report that I just got back from Toyworld and no Pirate Tank. Went today instead because I can't tomorrow. I picked up a Dooku's Solar Sailor for $96. Bit pricey but its the last one in store and I want Dooku and a Magnaguard droid.

RileyC Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) hard luck CommanderFox. I think they will atleast remake slave 1 or 2 in the next few years. Slave 2 maybe because of ESB anniversary but they just made 1 a few years back. Im just crossing my fingers EDIT: Yea I saw that Jullezz has listed a chrome stormie starting at $40, seems like a good price but I dont really want or need it Edited July 18, 2009 by Roncanator

You can buy them new for $14 BTW, both ships are called the slave 1. There's no slave 2 in the movies EDIT: Does anyone here want a 8028 Tie fighter? MISB (very hard to come by MISB) for $20 each. I might get some in from russia to give kiwi's a chance at getting them off TM, but i can get some for you guys too. Edit2: Does anyone here have any 2x4 trans clear bricks for trade? I know they're not rare or anything, but i just need two for a project i'm working on, and i don't have any. Edited July 18, 2009 by legoman
