Ravi Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Has anyone seen any 8263 snowplows in any stores at all, it was meant to have been an october release but I havent seen any here or in Nelson anywhere, had a store ask at Lego but they said it was exclusive, but didnt say who to? I have one on TM My toyworld has a couple so might want to see if a toyworld near you can get one in for you. Edited December 28, 2009 by Ravi
vmln8r Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Has anyone seen any 8263 snowplows in any stores at all, it was meant to have been an october release but I havent seen any here or in Nelson anywhere, had a store ask at Lego but they said it was exclusive, but didnt say who to? Yes, TW in Lower Hutt. Didn't look at the price, I would imagine RRP.
Bricktrain Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I have one for sale. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=262301756My toyworld has a couple so might want to see if a toyworld near you can get one in for you. Thanks, I am trying to find someone to do me a bulk deal, below retail if possible. May try Toyworld Richmond again after New Year, they didnt have any a couple of weeks ago, Toyworld can be hard to get discounts from, the one in Shirley is usually okay so may be worth calling I guess, the one in Greymouth is always overpriced. 195 items at S@H on sale and only 92 available, why do they bother advertising them on sale if they dont have them anyway. Anyone collect instruction manuals? I have just parted 40 sets for my Bricklink store and decided not to keep the instructions, creator, city, technic mostly but a couple of Taj Mahal and MMV if anyone wants for the cost of post.
RileyC Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 The new star wars sets are up on the S@H. Man the prices are steep!
Bricktrain Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 The new star wars sets are up on the S@H. Man the prices are steep! The new technic there too, the excavator is a bit expensive $45, but the log loader is actually cheaper than I expected, $119 for a pneumatic set is pretty good.
ColdBricks Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 ColdBricks I'm keen. Just had a look at what's on sale ... not much Star Wars stuff other than the V-19 and keyrings butI'll like to get the Peril in Peru set since I missed out on it. The advent calendars should be good too. I'm not sure why stuff that's sold out is being listed.I have a question on how the shipping is shared. Is it evenly per buyer, by value or by item purchased? I don't know how you do it but free shipping within NZ is really good for an Aucklander like me. I'll have a better look at what else is on sale (there's more than 100 items) and will PM you a list. Hi, Fumoffu I'm quite happy for everyone to voice their own opinion. I think if there ends up being 8-10 of us ordering the cost will be quite low anyway!
Brickthing Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I've been interested in a Click (S@H Exclusive Bionicle), so I should be able to partake in this order (If there are enough of us to make the shipping reasonable.) Thanks for arranging this ColdBricks!
ColdBricks Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Hi all, I'll just go and throw my email out there troy a n d emily @ paradise dot net dot nz. Just email me and we can talk amongst ourselves about the order rather than clog the forum up! Troy.
RileyC Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) I added up the US prices for the new lego star wars sets (all the new ones except for the TIE defender) plus shipping and it turns out to be $296 NZ which is $1 dearer than if you were to buy them RRP. Im just going to get them at 20% off sales cause they should be a lot cheaper then. EDIT: Im going to go in after new years to see if they have any in stock for the sales but I dont think there will be any but its worth a shot. Edited December 28, 2009 by Roncanator
Legoman Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 I'll flick you a PM Coldbricks - This should hopefully work out better than last year It's dissapointing that a lot of stuff is sold out But anyway. I'll PM you any minute. I don't know about you guys, but I'm definately keen to order sooner rather than later, as last year things sold out very fast once on sale.
ColdBricks Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Hi there, 4 in the bulk buy, no time frame as yet, things in the sale section selling reasonably fast, email to join in!
Fumoffu Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Hi there, 4 in the bulk buy, no time frame as yet, things in the sale section selling reasonably fast, email to join in! You are right about selling fast. Got up this morning and found that Peril in Peru is gone!!! That's crazy!!
Ravi Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) You are right about selling fast. Got up this morning and found that Peril in Peru is gone!!! That's crazy!! I can't seem to find the pirates advent calendar EDIT: Yay opened up a bricklink store. Nothing for sale though Edited December 29, 2009 by Ravi
Fumoffu Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 I can't seem to find the pirates advent calendar Me neither. I was going to get both the Advent Calendar and Peril in Peru ... now there's only the City Calendar left ... that probably will be gone overnight too at this rate. I learnt my lesson this time.
Callum Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 I can't seem to find the pirates advent calendar It looks to be nuked from the entire website... Fortunately I got one when they first came out, but I did want one to open! :(
RileyC Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 I was going to pitch in with the group order but I had a look at the sets and there is nothing I really want cause everything is sold out!
Logbo Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) Toyworld shirley and the new one in cranford street are being pretty awesome on pricing for us CHCH users. got the passenger train for $199 there the other week and 4 extra packs of track for $75. Hopefully they will be getting the new imperail galleon pirates boat. i want that so bad. and S@H just hurts with shipping. p.s. BARGIN!!! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=262970905 !!! im JLT, mine mine mine!!!!! Edited December 31, 2009 by Logbo

I really want to get into trains but I just cant with my lego budget but hopefully that will change when I get a job (whenever that will be). I wouldnt know how to get into it any ways.
Brickthing Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Happy New Year everyone! A lot of 2010 sets are avaliable on S@H now, and a the Ben 10 sets aren't nearly as expensive as I feared!
Grrr Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 p.s. BARGIN!!! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=262970905 !!! im JLT, mine mine mine!!!!! I wonder what that will go for. It's a good set. Don't worry, I already have two of them.
RileyC Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Does anybody here collect trains? If so, whats your main source of new train sets?
Logbo Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Does anybody here collect trains? If so, whats your main source of new train sets? Just started. I work in the same complex as toyworld in shirley. so they generally look after me. Dayly serches for train and pirates in the lego section of trade me. Ebay whilst a little confussing is quite easy to get into. i load $100 on my paypall account a month and watch for good deals. NZ dosnt have many 2nd had type pawn shops that take in lego etc. i hear of people finding great deals that way. but over here in NZ it seams like a non existant market. certanly in chch, the pawnshop / cash converters dont touch lego.
CommanderFox Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 certanly in chch, the pawnshop / cash converters dont touch lego. Same in Auckland for those kind of shops. CommanderFox
RileyC Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Same in Auckland for those kind of shops. CommanderFox And Hamilton. Cash convertors did once have a huge box just generic lego bricks but when I went back to collect it, it had gone.
CommanderFox Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 And Hamilton. Cash convertors did once have a huge box just generic lego bricks but when I went back to collect it, it had gone. Thats annyoing! I always want to go check them out but my parents never am driving in that direction or stopping near them. CommanderFox
