RileyC Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 I've just been to the same Kmart, and the new sets CF mentioned also include Woody's Roundup, the smallest Racer sets and the small Creator House and Car sets. The Arc is $140, and the Army Men were only $22, so I took one of those. Im probably gonna pick up one of those as well next week and woody and buzz to the rescue if I can find it. Is the army men a good set?

Might have to go to Warehouse to get the ARC if its going to be cheaper there. CommanderFox

CommanderFox K mart seem to have the first wave cheaper than what they should be. They did last year and it was awesome! I think the warehouse probably will have them cheaper because their website did price them as $132.

Yes, its funny how Kmart have there sets cheaper then RRP, and then near the end of the year they change them back to RRP. I hope Warehouse do all the sets cheaper then RRP aswell, they seem to have the ARC lower so hopefully all the other sets will be lower aswell! CommanderFox
Grrr Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 No sorry I havent seen their mailer about it yet I just assumed it was a 20-25% off sale because Grrr said the battle packs were $22 and they are down to $18 dollars next week. Sorry to have got your hopes up; but it was only those sets that were on sale, not a discount on everything. Kmart at Bayfair (Mount Mauanganui) had the same two star wars battle packs and the Toy Story sets. I've just been to the same Kmart, and the new sets CF mentioned also include Woody's Roundup, the smallest Racer sets and the small Creator House and Car sets. The Arc is $140, and the Army Men were only $22, so I took one of those. You mean they had the Creator Apple Tree House 5891? I'm so tempted to drive to Albany to get it. Do you know when the sale ends? I might be able to go on the 22nd, but maybe not.I just hope the sale goes till sommething like the 1 of Feb, then i'll deffinatly go! I didn't check. As I said, the sale starts on the 14th, and presumably goes for a week.

Oh, thats annoying! Im not sure he meant the apple tree house, I don't think I remember seeing it there I could be wrong though. I think it would be closed by the time you got up here from Hamilton. I hope it goes for longer! CommanderFox
Grrr Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Im not sure he meant the apple tree house, I don't think I remember seeing it there I could be wrong though. I think it would be closed by the time you got up here from Hamilton. Not today , tommorrow! I've already driven 500km today.
CommanderFox Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Not today , tommorrow! I've already driven 500km today. Another 500K wouldn't hurt though would it? CommanderFox
Grrr Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Another 500K wouldn't hurt though would it? CommanderFox I'd happily drive another 500km to get a Lego set I'm after.
Brickthing Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Thats interisting that its RRP. Did you see how much the freeco was?Might have to go to Warehouse to get the ARC if its going to be cheaper there. CommanderFox I didn't check, but I'm guessing it would be $3-5 cheaper than the S@H price. I doubt the ARC will be cheaper at The Warehouse, it will probably be the RRP of $145. You mean they had the Creator Apple Tree House 5891? I'm so tempted to drive to Albany to get it. Sorry to get your hopes up, but I meant the Car Building Set and House Building Set, which are $18 and $19 each. For future though I'm sure I could buy it for you and post it down if there's LEGO you want up here.
Grrr Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 For future though I'm sure I could buy it for you and post it down if there's LEGO you want up here. I thought that might be the case on the creator house. Thanks for the offer of sending Lego down. I tend to be up in Auckland every 2-3 weeks anyway though. Particularly because AirNZ doens't fly to AU out of Hamilton anymore .
HyperBlade Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 I'm in hong kong at the moment and toysrus has all the 2010 star wars set herethey even have the Fire Brigade set which is awesome but alot of money What are the prices like compared to New Zealand ones? And do they have much Technic?
AoNZ Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Just to clarify so the Swamp Speeder and Land Speeder won't be out with this wave right? We may be looking to February for them is that correct?
CommanderFox Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Oh okay, thanks anyways 3D Brickthing. Just to clarify so the Swamp Speeder and Land Speeder won't be out with this wave right?We may be looking to February for them is that correct? yes, they'll be released in Feb, just like Dooku's Solar Sailer and Ahsoka's fighter where released in Feb last year. I can't wait to get both of them! CommanderFox
RileyC Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Yea they will come out in February. Its good and bad because it gives you time to gather the money and bad because you have to wait that long. What about Luke's Landspeeder though? When will that come out? Woops I wasnt reading properly Edited January 10, 2010 by Roncanator
CommanderFox Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I just noticed This. Obviously people have found the new BPs. CommanderFox
Grrr Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I just noticed This.Obviously people have found the new BPs. CommanderFox Someone will make a bit of money on those. They are the ones I mentioned will be $18 on special at KMart later this week.
RileyC Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Someone will make a bit of money on those. They are the ones I mentioned will be $18 on special at KMart later this week. Yea they certainly will but the average lego buyer wont know they will be on sale next week.

I was speaking to the Lego Rep today who told me a few things 1:) Release date for the new Lego is the 14th of January 2:) Lego warehouse has opened TODAY after the christmas break. 3:) Kmart should not have the product on the shelf.

Callum Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Cool thanks. So do you know when Luke's landspeeder and the swamp speeder come out? Officially March, but that can change, as some of the other release dates have. Cheers Callum
Callum Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Just spotted a Lego auction on Trademe with the description "great and brainy toy for kids,and you can buy it with great and cheap price." Fantastic.

Kmart NZ may bypass Lego NZ by importing directly from Aust. I suspect Kmart Aust has much more buying power & can get them cheap from Lego Aust & then ship to NZ. That might explain why Kmart NZ price differently from Farmers, WHS, TW etc. Just my theory.

Thats an interesting theory you have. It would definitely cause the lower prices but it would be strange that they just bought battle packs over.
