TheDarkness Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 I wonder if people are hammering them with price matching. My K-Mart was down to Shelob and Riddles in the Dark left last time I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Yeah price matching is huge now. The target I went to had 3 isle of lego, 4 if you count friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 We essentially have half an aisle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruff.bricks Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Awesome deal. I cleaned out my local Target (South Morang, VIC in case anyone was going to go there). At the 50% price, you can pretty much sell the minifigures for what you paid and keep the ret of the LEGO. Or keep them for when they EOL. At any rate, 50% off does not happen often in Aus, so grab it now while you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I tried to get 50% off the LOTR, but finding a staff member was impossible and they had next to nothing of LOTR on the shelves anyway. I just want more Unexpected Gathering. Plan to hit some stores tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Got another 2 x AUG, 1 x goblin king and 3 x riddle for ring. Going to another store tomorrow and they more stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruff.bricks Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 The Melbourne City Target store had a lot of Hobbit stock yesterday. Sadly no Unexpected Gatherings though. Heaps of Riddles for Ring which I think will be awesome flippers for bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffollo Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I was lucky enough to pick up 3 more Gatherings. Also, I checked Gumtree today and sure enough the first sellers are trying to cash in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Yeah I had someone here on gumtree trying to flog an AUG for 90 and Wargs for 70. That was on friday. No patience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffollo Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I must say this was the weirdest sale. Went back today during lunch break and the 50% off is gone. Some sets still there but now at 20% just like all the other LEGO. Very strange. Without The Darkness posting this I would have missed it completely. Just like the other day when Myer had buy 2 get 1 free. Not advertised at all. Just word of mouth and that was a week before their normal sale.

gruff.bricks Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I agree, Its a bit odd. I found out via facebook, apparently there was a big advertisement in the Herald down here. Myer annoys me though, I am a Myer One Gold member, and there are buy 2 get 1 free offers that aren't even advertised at all. They usually get advertised by email on a Super Saturday or through the Myer One app, but the last one wasn't anywhere to be found. I was P'd off as I only found out after it had finished. I usually use those to stock up on a lot of LEGO, and they are generally the best deals available in Aus (except this recent Hobbit 50% off).

TheDarkness Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 My Target had a whole heap of Hobbit sets out today. The sign was removed and no 50% off. Maybe they were there yesterday when I couldn't get there, but I have my doubts as they weren't there the two days prior. Fairly ticked off right now.

stinger-311 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Yeah I asked at 4 different Targets the reason for 50% off and none had a answer. Mine was that maybe they are clearing stock for when new movies comes out, but isn't that like late this year or next? I did clean up though, going through checkout. "wow thats alot of lego" I replied "yeah my kids love it and have so many nephews to buy for" hahah suckers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 If it wasn't for spending over $1000 at TRU's deal last night (and having 3 kids with me) I would have jacked up big time. Not going to hold my breath that we will see that deal again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
