harmacy Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Wow that Taj is a amazing price... I'll think about it and be in touch Cheers mate Taj gone now - Didnt think it would last long at that price.... I would have got it myself, but am really wanting to get the new SW UCS Shuttle, so have had to hold back on a few impulses:)

I would have got it myself, but am really wanting to get the new SW UCS Shuttle, so have had to hold back on a few impulses:) Ah well. Not too surprising really. I can't wait for the 2 new UCS sets Hopefully both in the 2011 Kmart toy sales? Good discounts I hope
RileyC Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Hopefully both in the 2011 Kmart toy sales? Good discounts I hope Has this years one gone already or is it still to come?
Legoman Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 Has this years one gone already or is it still to come? It was in the holidays. But wasn't really mentioned much due to the lack of exclsives/good prices
David Thomsen Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Anyone seen Minifigs series 2 anywhere? Or have any idea when it might appear?
RileyC Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Anyone seen Minifigs series 2 anywhere? Or have any idea when it might appear? I havent seen them yet but Im guesssing that they will start to appear late August - early September.
Legoman Posted July 28, 2010 Author Posted July 28, 2010 I havent seen them yet but Im guesssing that they will start to appear late August - early September. Yeah, the catalogue said September. Any other news? I havn't had much time for looking around, I Had a big rugby game today.
harmacy Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Yeah, the catalogue said September. Any other news? I havn't had much time for looking around, I Had a big rugby game today. New SW sets and Games came into TW yesterday. Should be on shelves today hopefully:) Sets I saw were - Wampa cave, Grievous SF (Love that new fig design) , Plo Koons SF, Palpatines Shuttle, Midi ISD. Am looking forward to checking out the new games too.

vmln8r Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 At Farmers: Plo Koon's fighter: $50 Midi ISD: $100 (no typo!)
Legoman Posted July 29, 2010 Author Posted July 29, 2010 At Farmers: Plo Koon's fighter: $50 Midi ISD: $100 (no typo!) Wow. I was expecting them both to be around $60. Intresting... The ISD is a Joke IMO, $100....
RileyC Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 $100! Well atleast no one will buy it so it will go on clearance sales like the MF did. $50 is pretty reasonable for the starfighter and I would be happy to pay that.
AllanSmith Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Arrived today at my favourite Toyworld, 8404 Public Transport. RRP NZ$179.99

David Thomsen Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Arrived today at my favourite Toyworld, 8404 Public Transport. RRP NZ$179.99 Oooh! I didn't expect it so soon because it isn't even on S@H NZ yet. I'll be picking up mine tomorrow. Thanks for the info.
RileyC Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 The Hamilton Toy World had all of the new Star Wars sets except for the AT AT and Cad Bane's Speeder. They werent on sale though but I did pick up Plo Koon's Starfighter and the Wampa Cave. Both are great though I would only recommend the Starfighter if you have got Anakin's and Ahsoka's cause they look awesome together! The Wampa Cave is really nice. The snowspeeder is bigger than I expected and has great detail. Disappointing that it come with Zev from the battle pack and only one pilot when two would have been better. The Wampa has some good detail but smaller than I expected him to be, hes the same size as the Taun Taun from last year. Most of the prices are actually pretty good with the exception of the CTT. Sales will make them even better though
Dragonator Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Just got back from a shopping trip, wallet deflated but me very happy. Picked up my Fire Brigade, Taj and box of minifigs from Toyworld, so good to have those now. I also bought 2 of the new games, Monster 4 and Lava Dragon, both $30. Race 3000 was also $30, and the larger sets I saw, the space one and the labyrinth were both $50, while Creationary was $70 I believe. Pirate Code was $40, can't quite remember the smaller sets, either $20 or $25. Can't recall seeing the pyramid either, but I would assume that one is $50 going off size. New SW looks lovely, this is going to be another expensive year. Saw the Tantive IV at TW, $350 though. While at Farmers (this was all out at Kapiti by the way) I spotted the 2006 X-Wing, 5 of them on the shelves at $119.99, less 20%. On impulse I decided I needed another one, hehe. Also grabbed the Helicopter/limo set and the new Plo Koon Starfighter from there, 20% was too good to pass up not buying anything. Midi-ISD was $89.99. And that's about everything that I remember, feeling rather deflated and broke now! Will have to do some severe saving for when all the Kingdom sets come out now.

Either way, Im loving all of this Hoth related stuff coming out - Ill be able to build an awesome Hoth scene soon:)

Im guessing its probably the same size.

Either way, Im loving all of this Hoth related stuff coming out - Ill be able to build an awesome Hoth scene soon:) I would have thought you would be over hoth by now? Was planning to go out today and pick up the Wampa cave and/or Slave 1 but desided against it. The slave is incedibly similar to the 2006 version, and nothing worth an extra $100 over the last. May pick it up later though if I see it less than $150. Wampa cave is still overpriced but part of me just needs it Also Wanting palpitines shuttle in due corse, but will need some MOD's on that one. Plo Koons fighter I'll pass on, but may pick it up for the figs i I see it cheap later. Passing on GG's starfighter, and still undecided on the CTT, but at this stage the original looks fine. Will pass on the AT-AT and Midi Star destroyer. Not sure about Banes speeder - It could make a nice Air-taxi... Nothing worth getting at full price though for me.
vmln8r Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 ...$$$... What a massive haul! You must be very happy, there's nothing quite like the anticipation of opening piles and piles of new Lego Plus I love Kapiti's TW, there's something magical about the location, just a shame it takes so long to get there from Wellington. Definitely agree with you Legoman, I don't think any of the new SW is worth RRP. But that's what sales are for, hopefully Kmart will get some of big sets like the CTT, and eventually discount them to clear them out
