CommanderFox Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Wow thanks for that news harrysnapperorgans!! I really hope it is an official Lego store, then we hopefully will get one in Auckland!! Can't wait to hear what they say! CommanderFox Edited November 23, 2009 by CommanderFox
Dragonator Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Hey guys, the Lego store in the Johnsonville Foodcourt is simply all the spill-over stock from the Toyworld just outside the mall. They are most likely renting the space just for the busy Christmas period. They have all the normal stock, and have 50% off a limited number of Indy sets as well, so it would be worth visiting during the open hours if you want to get a good deal. All other prices were standard Toyworld prices from what I could see, although I noted that the Death Star has been marked up to $900 now.
Brickthing Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Thanks for the confirmation Draggy. It's a pity that's all it is though, because I've been waiting for a real LEGO store in NZ for a while. For those who can't get to Farmer's today, it looks like they'll be having the exact same thing (under a different name) for Lego on Thursday.

Me too! Thanks for that 3D Brickthing! maybe will have a chance to go check it out. CommanderFox Edited November 24, 2009 by CommanderFox
RileyC Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Wow Ive certainly missed a lot while on holiday. The temporary store does seem tempting to get some sets at marked down prices. I would really love it to become permanent. Does it look like a regular lego store like this one? Edited November 24, 2009 by Roncanator
CommanderFox Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Does it look like a regular lego store like this one? I think someone said it was just a Toyworld renting it out for the summer to sell excess Lego sets. They did that last summer in Auckland as well, kinda annoyed me as they didn't have any SW.

harmacy Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Hey All - J'Ville toyworld do this most years and open up a little 'satellite store' in the mall. The actual Toyworld is perched out at the far end of the car park and isnt part of the mall itself, so I know they do this to raise their profile, and of course sell more Lego. At this stage at least they simply sell boxed Lego, and dont have any other attractions, such as PaB, Building tables etc etc. One of my 'Lotto dreams' is to set up a dedicated Lego store here in NZ:) - so yeah, someday, maybe...

I hope you win Lotto and get to realise your dream then. The Kmart flyer I got yesterday has a Buy 1 Toy and get 60% off a Second starting tomorrow (Thurs)!! Shame that when I was at my local Kmart in the weekends the Lego shelves look really bare. Nothing I'm interested in on the shelves but I'll go have a look in the weekend again just in case they restock the shelves.

CommanderFox Yea I really think you should get those sets they are really great sets and they have cool minifigs. Those listings are pretty good I might just keep an eye on those

Only prob is that they might not be there! If not then will snap an echo Base quickly off TM before everyone 'ups' their prices because they are "no longer available". Will have to miss RAS then. If they don't have any this year SW sets at boxing day, then maybe they would have next years SW sets...in early stock! ....hopefully.. EDIT: Forgot to say that the other day when I went to Warehouse they had around 5 maybe 6 AT-APs!!!! Might get one for christmas!! mabye..... CommanderFox Edited November 27, 2009 by CommanderFox

I thought they were discontinued here because I had a feeling they werent selling that great. can you remember how much they were? Edited November 28, 2009 by Roncanator

I thought they were discontinued here because I had a feeling they werent selling that great.can you remember how much they were? The Sylvia Park Warehouse has about 20 AT-AP selling for $80 each and the Toyworld at Sylvia Park has the Agent Aerial Defence Unit 8971 at 50% off for $75. Shame I'm not into Agent or else that set is at a pretty good price.

CommanderFox Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Unfortunately, in the top left hand side there's a bubble that says online only, which means a lot of the better products are excluded. Oh right. I noticed also yesterday that they have online 10195 Republic dropship and AT-OT! I didn't realise Warehouse stocked it!
