Legoman Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 Went to warehouse today and bought Pirate Tank and Rolling tank droid, so I spent $99 dollars. Well Warehouse say "you have to spend $100 dollars on SW Lego to get the free Vader keyring". Well warehouse can't you round that last dollar? Expect a letter of complaint in afew days CommanderFox I'm pritty sure they did that on purpose Thats the warehouse for you.... But just so you know, you don't even get a free vader for spending 100. You "go in the draw" to win 1 of 180 (or something like that, all i know is they didn't give me any!) Well, i got two entries

Well, i got two entries WHS needs to get their story straight. I was told that you get the keyring by redemption and there's only 180 so the first 180 receipts sent in will get the keyring. I wasn't told its a lucky draw. If it is a draw then I didn't have to rush to post my receipt off late Friday before the mail lady picked up the mail for the day. CommanderFox you should have picked up Stormtrooper BP or something to get over the $100. You can never have too many Stormtroopers.

RileyC Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 its pretty stupid that its a lucky draw. I thought it was just the first 180 people that buy over $100 get one. Its good that there are imperial battle pack around the place. I dont buy more than one set of something so I dont really mind

I dont buy more than one set of something so I dont really mind After checking the recipt, you guys were right. its the first 180 sent in
CommanderFox Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Yeah my little bro harrassed me to get a BP, but there where NO Stormie ones so that was anoying as I already have 3 clone walker BPs so didn't want a 4th. Thats okay, though TM Listings Big Droid!!!! Obi-Wan Kenobi!!!! bit expensive 8036 FIGS!!!!!!!!!!! Jawa and droids!!!!!!!!!!! CHROMIE!!! Stormie!!!

vmln8r Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 @ Kmart: 8264 Technic Hauler, $80 (RRP $140) 8258 Truck, $319 That SW dropship set with a RRP of $500 was $280! I bought a Hauler, good set with great parts.
RileyC Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 @ Kmart:That SW dropship set with a RRP of $500 was $280! I bought a Hauler, good set with great parts. Wow $280 . Thats a pretty big discount and the discount is almost as much money as the actual set
CommanderFox Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 WOW $280 is pretty good I hope they don't bring it down anymore then I'd have gotten a bad deal CommanderFox
Fumoffu Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 WOW $280 is pretty good I hope they don't bring it down anymore then I'd have gotten a bad deal CommanderFox If it comes down anymore CommanderFox you'll have to comfort yourself with the thought that you got to play with it for a little while now. Back on target - Farmers is having another cardholder night this Thurs and its 30% off toys. I think I might pick up a basic Space Police set just to give me some options with MOC.
RileyC Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 yea when I go over to Sydney on monday I might try and pick up a small space police set. They seem to be quite dear compared to other non licensed sets. Ill probably pick up this one or this one. They both seem pretty cool.

Squidman Escape is the small set that I plan to get but what a rip-off!! Lego is advertising it for $12 but Farmers and other places are selling it for $13! Just as well that I'm getting 30% off. I actually want the heads for the Skull Twins in this set Link but its too expensive to buy just to get a couple of heads. Might have to wait for cheap ones to be available on BL.
RileyC Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I was just on trade me and found the death star for $600. This is the member who had a lot of cheap sets but this time round she's increased the price on the sets a bit.
evil_elmo Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 went and picked up a dropship from kmart palms and they still have about 10 in stock cant believe they are only $280 now lol
Fumoffu Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 went and picked up a dropship from kmart palms and they still have about 10 in stockcant believe they are only $280 now lol What's the chance of that happening to Tantive IV? Wouldn't it be nice if Kmart brings in a whole lot for its Toy Sale next year and ends up with too many unsold and drop the price in time for Xmas? That's my hope. On a different tack, anyone seen the Space Police set "Squidman's Pitstop" in NZ yet? I think that's probably the best Space Police set to get because it has almost all the alien minifigures in one set.

It sucks it be available for us on S@H cause then we cant get it discounted in sales

It sucks it be available for us on S@H cause then we cant get it discounted in sales I think the Lego Exclusive thing only applies to country with Lego brand shops. In countries like NZ where we don't have Lego brand shops then other retailers can get exclusive sets. That's why we see Medieval Market Village and Death Star at Toyworld and AT-OT at Kmart. The more important point is evil_elmo's about Kmart getting burnt on the AT-OT and stop bringing in these exclusives and letting us buy them at a discount or even if no discount then at least not having to pay S@H's shipping price. I really hope they will continue to bring these big exclusive sets in for their Toy Sale. I'll like to see Tantive IV and the Fire Brigade next year if possible.

Yea I don't think I'll wait and see for the Tantive IV to be available at k mart cause then if its not I would've wasted a few months waiting. And that would be after christmas!

KnightlyKnight Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 I was out at K-mart Porirua tonight and I couldn't see any LAAT/AT-OT or Death stars, although I do have t say it looked like they had tidied away a lot of stuff (possibly for a reorganise). So I guess they are either all gone or packed away for now... hmmm.... If anyone spies the death star out there again let me know. Also, Farmers out there didn't hardly any smaller star wars sets (<$100), so no 30% off purchases for me. (What I really want is a Home one on sale...)

KnightlyKnight Home One is a Warehouse exclusive (for now) so you should look for it there or on Trademe. The Winter Toy Shop (10199) is now available on Shop@Home and there's a limit of 5 per customer. Not sure who will want 5 but there must be big demands for it if Lego is putting a limit on it.
KnightlyKnight Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 I know, which is why I want a 20% off Lego sale at the big red shed when I'm near one that has it in stock. (Sundays typically) the friends & families deals are often for a weekdays it seems and the one in down doesn't have any. Here's hoping there's one between now and Christmas. Also the 5 limit is a bit odd Winter Toy Shop as I can't imagine that you'd want more then 5 even if your building a 'winter wonderland'. It's probably related to keeping it a S@H exclusive so that people buy it from there and not ebay/tradme etc.
