HyperBlade Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 For those interested Kmart riccaton has 6 of the Technic Crane Truck left at $320, that's before discounts. There wasn't a whole lot of other lego left on the shelves though. Has anyone seen the Technic Front Loader in a physical store in chch, and at what price? http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?...;cn=57&d=70

Hope that helps. CommanderFox

Logbo Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Anybody else pissed off with trademe sellers listing the new sets at RRP, and then charging shipping on top. it works me up and i dont know why.

That's how it works for any online shop, just wait till you find it in store instead if it annoys you.

Still no SW sets up on TM yet. Im quite surprised some random hasn't chanced on finding some BPs. Just found these on the warehouse site. Creator 6754 10187 Death Star! 10188!

Grrr Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Does anybody here collect trains? If so, whats your main source of new train sets? Moore Wilsons in Wellington. Yes, they are a supermarket type store, but they stock a large amount of lego generally at about 15% less than most retailers. As for Hamilton, it's a lost hope. The Toyworld in Collingwood Street keeps a lousy selection of Lego (though occasionally has trains), and is useless for discounts, and the departments stores are even worse. I'm hoping that the new mall at the Base or the expansion of Westfield Chartwell will bring another toy store to Hamilton. In the interim, I'll continue to support Toyworld in Sylvia Park.

CommanderFox I will try and let people know as soon as I have information on when these should be in the stores... Seeing as I work at Toyworld I usually get the skinny a wee bit early - but I have not been doing as many hours as usual recently.

Seeing as I work at Toyworld I usually get the skinny a wee bit early - but I have not been doing as many hours as usual recently. That would be great if you could because I really want to get them as soon as they come out! Also, off-topic: Legoman's profile page says that his group is validating. Maybe he is being promoted to a fellow? EDIT: Also, The republic swamp speeder and Luke's Landspeeder are on the S@H now. The swamp speeder is $59.99 and the Landspeeder is $49.99 which is a really great price for it. Its cheaper than the droid tri fighter! I guess its because its not clone wars so it wouldnt sell as much. Edited January 1, 2010 by Roncanator

I was expecting something crazy like $80 for the Swamp speeder, like the pirate tank but its way cheaper! And Ive also been waiting for a cheap set to get 3PO in. Can't wait to get Lukes speeder!

vmln8r Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 $50 for the Landspeeder seems like a lot considering the piece count. I guess it's the figs Callum, do you know whether or not TW will get 10210 Imperial Flagship? It's just been released on S@H. Thanks
HyperBlade Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Well I don't live in CHCH and I haven't seen any of them in stores, but Here's one. Hope that helps. CommanderFox thanks i have been keeping an eye on trademe, was hoping to get it less then the rrp. I got mine from Toyworld so you might want to start there. They were $180 Thanks. Anybody else pissed off with trademe sellers listing the new sets at RRP, and then charging shipping on top.it works me up and i dont know why. Yes, considering i saw the crane truck at $270 (rrp $350) when it first came out, now $320 on trademe, i think there's quite a margin the sellers are adding onto the sets already before they then ask for shipping...
David Thomsen Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Wow... an entire thread dedicated to finding Lego in New Zealand... I usually go to Moore Wilsons in Wellington, everything there is a bit cheaper than everywhere else. I used to go to Toyworld as a sort of socially responsible rebellion against big stores that undercut little stores, but the staff there generally don't have a clue what they're talking about. "When are the Pirate Lego sets coming out?" "Um... they're about three months away." "Oh. OK." Very next day, the Pirates are out on the shelves. Great customer service, guys. On the other hand, Toyworld do get some exclusives that no one else gets, like the Grand Carousel a month after it was released (!!!) so I do check in occasionally.

Nice to see you have found this thread David! I hate it when people don't have a clue, why work in the lego department if you don't know anything about it. CommanderFox

Yep there is a whole thread, And its 103 pages long! Yea I hate it when the staff dont know anything about there products. I dont think other people get it that much but the staff should be familiar with the products.
David Thomsen Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 I don't mind if they don't know so much, I work in retail and I know how impossible it is to know everything about everything, and how frustrating it is when customers expect me to name every film with John Wayne in it... It's the fact that if they don't know, they bluff. They can't admit they don't know, or look it up on the computer or ask another staff member or anything. Thus I've heard such amazing lines as "we don't have the pirate impulse packs because they're exclusive to the Warehouse". Riiight... I know your job better than you do, pal.
Callum Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 $50 for the Landspeeder seems like a lot considering the piece count. I guess it's the figs Callum, do you know whether or not TW will get 10210 Imperial Flagship? It's just been released on S@H. Thanks I have one on order, but the rep is unsure if they are coming in. I would imagine they will get a few, I will let you know as soon as I know more :)
RileyC Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 $50 for the Landspeeder seems like a lot considering the piece count. I guess it's the figs I reckon its a really good price for it. It may not have a lot of pieces but the set has a lot of minifigs and 3 of them have new pieces.
David Thomsen Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 The only person who seems to have any knowledge at my Toyworld, who I think is the manager, told me that they're he's not expecting the Imperial Flagship for another three months at least. I can't wait that long, so I'm willing to pay S@H for postage.

At this stage I will try to remain patient
evil_elmo Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 wow we have some new members...welcome aboard anyone know if we are getting the Tantive?
RileyC Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 wow we have some new members...welcome aboardanyone know if we are getting the Tantive? I dont really know. I guess we will in time because we got the death star and the AT-OT + dropship.
Callum Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Just a heads up - I have noticed some 2010 stuff showing up on Trademe... I have not noticed any sets in any stores however. Also, has anyone spoken to Huck to Flat recently? Cheers! Callum
