Legoman Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 What about figures?Are they up for grabs too? They come in the sets, yeah, but not for individual sale sorry... And i may even keep a few of the figs from sets.
Callum Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Welcome Callum!!! to EB Is that you on huck to flat's forum? $450 for taj is pretty good I'd love to get it for my geonosis but its to expensive oh well CommanderFox Thanks for the welcome! I am not on any other forums at present but if there are some I should know about... I would love to be enlightened :) Do we Kiwis have a home to go to or is this it? (Have been toying with starting a fan based website for a while...) RE: The lady selling cheap lego on Trademe. I have had a chat to her - I bought quite a bit off her at cheaper than trade me prices before she did the price hikes... But I can confirm they are from the warehouse. could see traces of "sold" sellotape on all the boxes. Originally she told me it was her brother that gave all his lego to her son, but now shes telling me she has a supplier.

Your Welcome! well I think our homes here for the moment Thats abit odd that she is saying one thing, then the next minute she is saying something else well maybe she has someone giving them to her for steal prices, if so can I meet that person maybe the bigger sets like 10195 and the DS are from her bro who got the from S@H and the rest are from this inside man just my thoughts, sorry for being abit off-topic CommanderFox Edited August 11, 2009 by CommanderFox
Callum Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) Looks like I just picked up two Home Ones... 2009 - Starwars, Indiana Jones, Pirate and Castle are Complete! Argh. Slow down, TLG! This has been an expensive year! Next project - Ordering in some Pirate tic-tac-toes if they ever become available to us antipodeans. Is anyone planning a bulk order anytime soon? :) Cal (PS, working on a Fan-based site for Kiwis - Forum mostly ... let me know if any of you would use this resource or if its a waste of time, cheers!)

Welcome to EB Callum. I'm going to get the Republic Attack Gunship from Shop@Home at some stage but I want to tag an order for the Chrome Stormtrooper. You're welcomed to tag an order onto mine so that we can share the shipping cost. I'm just waiting for the Chrome Stormtrooper to become available. As for the forum, you should check out huck to flat's forum to make sure there's no double up. For my $0.02 worth, I think EB works pretty well so we probably don't need more forum but a fan site that has other content may be useful. Depends on what its about and the users really.
harmacy Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Hey Guys - Is anyone interested in buying a 10179 UCS Falcon? I have a set thats been built once, and comes complete with all figs, box, instructions and even the plain outer box for shipping. Its the Non - Limited Edition set, so does not have any certificate. It was built once, and has now been dismantled and is sitting in its box ready for a new owner. Its all in excellent condition. I'll put it on TM in a week or so, but want to know if any Kiwi Eurobrick peeps are interested so I can avoid those stupid success fees.. I also have another sealed boxed set, but will save that for 'investment purposes' :) PM me or post a reply if youre keen.

Welcome to EB Callum. I think a forum is a good idea but I like to post on this forum cause we get everything from NZ lego chat to lego star wars and to town and trains. Im sorry but I would have a look but not really post
Brickthing Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 If you guys are looking for a NZ forum, there's this one here. It's mainly got only Australians right now, so they're in need of more Kiwi's to even it out. It should make it easier for us Kiwis whenever we want to make a bulk S@H order to fight the shipping costs. Speaking of S@H, has anyone taken advantage of the Modular set prices? They're so low compared to other countries and Aus that I thought it was a mistake, but they've been like that for a while...

Fumoffu Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Guys!! The Chrome Stormtrooper is now available!! ==> http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?...n=472&d=322
vmln8r Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Hi everyone, new member from Wellington here. Great thread! I find Moore Wilsons to be the cheapest overall for Lego. Toyworlds seems to stick rigidly to RRP but often have a 20% off sale. Kmart gives me that Aladdins Cave feel, partly nostalgia and also the feeling there might be something ridiculously underpriced hidden somewhere, like the last set 8295 which I got for $66 (RRP of $150!). Haven't bought Lego off TM, but eyeing the two AT-AT sets on there...
CommanderFox Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Welcome to EB VMLN8R I hope you will enjoy it here went to Kmart today, and still no sign of a sale and republic attack shuttle with Mace Windu is $130, when it is usually $99 verry odd and sad. couple of TM auctions to highlight Listings Listings huck to flat, maybe you are interisted in these CW clones and this is a very prompt and nice trader, I deffernetly recommend him Listings I really want this, but I see you have already bidded on it Ravi, I really want Cody, so I'll maybe put in a bid or 2, so watch out Ive been meaning to ask for awhile now. What is Moore Wilsons??? sorry Its just I don't think we have it up in Auckland, though i could be mistaken VMLN8R TM is a very good place to look for Lego if its previous years of Lego, its not excactly a place to look for this years sets, though sometimes people will sell sets at $1 Researve which is nice . so yeah, just my thoughts CommanderFox
RileyC Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) hey welcome VMLN8R hope you have a great EB experience . I will probably go and check out the local toy stores to find the pirate tank and home one and see how much they are. I wont buy them just yet, waiting for a sale. EDIT: Ive also noticed the chrome stormtrooper is back up (linky link) for $12.99. A pretty good price for an awesome looking minifig. I cant wait to get one if they are still available when the tantive IV can be ordered which Ill buy of S@H Edited August 14, 2009 by Roncanator

Just got a droid battle pack for $35 Edited August 14, 2009 by Ravi

I will probably go and check out the local toy stores to find the pirate tank and home one and see how much they are. I wont buy them just yet, waiting for a sale Welcome VMLN8R to EB. Its good to see the Kiwi contingent growing. Roncanator a friend working at Warehouse reckons the Pirate Tank and Home One are exclusive to the Warehouse so we'll have to wait for a sale there. I don't recall Warehouse having as many Lego sale as Kmart or Toyworld. Might be a long wait for us! CommanderFox it looks like Kmart is putting up the prices on their mispriced sets. Lucky I got my RAS at $85 last time they had a 15% off sale. The Clone Walker and Assassin Droid BP is now $24 instead of $22. Still less than RRP but as good as before. I hope this means that Kmart will start doing 20% off Lego instead of 15%. I'm keen on Cmdr Cody too. There's probably a whole bunch of people out there interested too. May the Force me with you ... I suspect in this case you need the $$$ to be with you rather than the Force. Edited August 14, 2009 by Fumoffu
vmln8r Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Thanks everyone for the welcome! CommanderFox MW is a variety/food store. There are four, all in the Lower North Island and I think only two stock Lego - Wellington CBD and Masterton. They often get sets the other shops don't, last year they had 6x Sandcrawlers priced at $260! Like I said almost everything is a little under RRP and you get a 5$ voucher for every $100 spent on Lego.

Most of the time they just have V19's and hyena droids. Although I did see a few anakin's y wings tucked away so hopefully thats changing

Although I did see a few anakin's y wings tucked away so hopefully thats changing For your sake I hope my friend is wrong ... actually for my sake too since I'll prefer it if Kmart and Toyworld will get them since they tend to have sales. Kmart especially since they always price a little below RRP. In the case of Home One, Warehouse price of $190 is $60 less than RRP ... wonder how long it will stay that way. Even if my friend is right ... Auckland is only an hour away. On a diff subject, anyone spotted Space Police anywhere? Edited August 14, 2009 by Fumoffu

Fumoffu Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Thanks for the link CommanderFox. I might just order one to get another STAP and some SBD. I got more than enough Battle Droids.

I thought it was a good price as the last one i bid on went for $46 In other news have any of you seen the toyworld vouchers on the back of new world receipts giving 15% off anything in toyworld. Ravi
RileyC Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 hey great find CommanderFox! Im not really in need of those sets cause I have the chicken walker and the clone and droid battle packs from 2007 didnt really interest me especially because the droid didnt have the new guns and arms

I hate to say it, Bu they've been sold out ever since you gave me that link
harmacy Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) The Moore Wilsons out in Porirua also stocks Lego Not a big as range as CBD, but still worth a visit. i picked up a DS2 for $500 new there a few months back, and last week I got the Midi-Falcon for $59. If anyones interested, the CBD store still has UCS falcons for around $800 . Im not sure of why they continually have lower prices, but as a 'cash and carry' store, they dont accept Credit cards or do Laybys, so they may pass some of that lower overhead cost into their products. Edited August 14, 2009 by harmacy
Ravi Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Hey everyone a bit off topic but does anyone have any clone battlepacks 7655 from 2007 they are willing to sell. Post or pm Thanks Ravi
