RileyC Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 If it matters to anyone ( ), Kmart has Ben 10 sets for sale at $19 each. Sorry Brickthing but it just doesnt interest me that much.
RileyC Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Does anyone know anything about when the Prince of Persia sets will come to NZ? Sorry for the double post I just thought this probably deserves a new post because of the topic
Callum Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 The entry prize for entering the model competition. Note - they (Lego) are pushing this one be more child focused... so it is possible you older Moc'rs may not be eligible. The wee set is quite cute, but nothing unique. (and I now have a large number of them :) Callum
Brickthing Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Thanks for finding out Callum. I was hoping for something more extravagant than yet-another-fireman, but you can't complain when things are free. We should still be able to enter for the entry prize though, and even if it's rigged against us I wasn't expecting to win anyway.
David Thomsen Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 That $49.99 deal for the Soldier's Fort is fantastic, pity I'm saving every cent for the next two months to pick up the Fire Brigade and the Grand Emporium when Toyworld get them in. Take that, obnoxiously high shipping expenses! I second RONC's question - anyone know anything about the POP sets? They're on the S@H website for other countries apparently, so I don't know why NZ are lagging. I'm worried they won't be coming here if they don't think the market is big enough for them.
CommanderFox Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Thanks Callum for finding out what the little prize is!! It is a smallish set, but still, it's pretty cool. CommanderFox
jonwil Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 It wouldn't surprise me if the POP sets will appear (S@H or retail) closer to the actual release date for the film. Companies like Disney have tight rules about when merchandise matching a film is allowed to be released.

It is absolutely a fantastic deal. I have bought 5 so far, and will most likely return for a few more :) ,
vmln8r Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I just got a brand new, 13 year old set from TradeMe: 6497. Yay nostalgia It is absolutely a fantastic deal. I have bought 5 so far, and will most likely return for a few more :) , Wow, that'd make an enormous fort! I have one and agree it's a great deal, just like 50% off 7198 Fighter Plane Attack around Christmas time (although, my fort's Brickbeard was missing a hand for which I've ordered a replacement). I'm thinking of getting more to MOC Cloud City in anticipation of the Slave 1 later on.

Nikkiwi Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Hi All, I'm up on the North Shore, closer to Albany and Glenfield Shopping centres. Oh and if anyone else is in the region, Browns Bay Toyworld has a LEGO sale on ATM with the Pirate theme soldiers fort 6242 on sale for 50% off ($49-95 from $99-95). cheers Nikkiwi Edit: Ooops - didn't realise that this was old news, but if anyone is still interested, they have about 6-7 sets in store that I saw.

CommanderFox Just came back from the Glenfield Mall - In addition to the 20% city sale they're running at the Warehouse, they also have some of the STAR WARS packs reduced by about the same amount as well. I don't normally pay much attention to the SW stuff (which, I understand, is close to heresy in here...lol), but the ones I did see were some battle packs ($4 off) and the signs for a fighter (which one I can't recall, and they didn't have any on the shelves anyway) which was $10 off. Nothing new and exciting at Farmers that hasn't already been mentioned - although they had some of the Atlantis stuff on sale. And the toyshop that was on the lowest level of Glenfield mall has disappeared. Haven't seen the latest fliers for anywhere recently - I think the local delivery person has disappeared for the holidays.... Cheers Nikkiwi
k_r_brown Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 fishpond new zealand is selling the 2 new space police sets 5981 raid vpr for $16 5982 smash n grab $30 spend $49 or more get free postage NZ only link http://www.fishpond.co.nz/advanced_search_...ds=space+police
RileyC Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 I saw that K-mart has the TIE Defender for $98. It would be great if they did a 20% off sale cause I reckon that would bring it down to a reasonable price for it. The midi scale MF is tempting at that price too.

Nikkiwi Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Does anyone have any idea when the new Castle range is going to come to NZ (or even if it is??) Cheers Nikkiwi
CommanderFox Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) Thats sad that the toyshop on the lowerest level in Glenfield Mall has gone, that was pretty good sometimes. Does anyone have any idea when the new Castle range is going to come to NZ (or even if it is??) If AllanSmiths contact is right, then the Kingdom sets are coming out in November! Hope thats okay that I said that Allan. CommanderFox Edited April 15, 2010 by CommanderFox
Nikkiwi Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 November.....oh well, at least it gives me plenty of time to save up for it all....lol And I couldn't help but notice someones listed a big Star Destroyer on TM today, if anyone out there is interested
Batmayne Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Im in the Albany area too Im very close to the albany mall / megacentre. That pirate lego deal sounds very nice i might go and check it out soon.
Fumoffu Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Prince of Persia sets up on Shop@Home now. Finally we get some indication of prices for us kiwi. Looks pretty standard to me for a licensed set. There's a few new pieces that I'm keen on but there's nothing there at these kind of prices to make me want to get them at RRP. I'm hoping these sets will go the Indiana Jones way ... discounted heavily later in the year.
