Australian General LEGO Update

I'll keep everything in here so that there won't be too many stuff scattered around the forum

DJ

Architecture, VW van, Grand Emporium, Pet Shop, Fire Brigade, Sydney Opera House just arrived <<< I'm waiting for their next sales to get one of these set

 

Toy-R-Us

VW just arrived, but all gone. They said more stock will come in 1-2 week time. 

 

Big W

They're clearing out the shelf of many city sets right now. The shelf was almost empty. Might see something new soon

 

Target

Batman Arkham Asylum & R2D2 were there. Probably about 6 each.

I just bought a City set at 37.5% off at BigW over the weekend.

 

If I see a R2D2 at target with 20% off I would definitely get a set.

[TheDarkness]

Does Target have 20% off?

[BrickPick3r]

Does Target have 20% off?

Not yet

[TheDarkness]

Then I doubt the R2s will last long enough to make it

[TheDarkness]

That being said they have a Toy Sale as of the 14th.....

[lego caesar]

Big W have a sale starting this thursday, the catalogue is here

 

There's also rumours of Target having a huge xmas toy sale which starts on the 14th 

[TheDarkness]

Not much value in that Big W lot apart from the Olivia's House set which is close to $50 off, IMO

[BrickPick3r]

14th of this month?

[TheDarkness]

14th of this month?

 

Yep. Going to go down and see what stock they have at my local tomorrow

[kandj999]

Does anyone have an idea what the general discount for this toy sale at Target starting 14-Nov-13? 20%? 25%? 50%? Or am I dreaming?

[BrickPick3r]

i wish it's 50% off

[TheDarkness]

You won't see anything more than 20% off I'd imagine.

[TheDarkness]

Ed most of the Exclusives we see in retail stores and have access to discounts when the stores run Lego sales. It still is more than US pricing but makes it more palatable.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was from "down under."  I corrected the title.

20% off a few sets - nothing massively exciting though 

 

Catalogue for Myers toy sale 12/11 - .1/12 is also online

Nothing interesting at the moment but i like what BrickPick3r done with putting everything together.

 

I will give my point here as well.

 

K-mart - Toy sale till 20 Nov, percentage discount varies depending on the set you are looking at.

 

Big W - Toy sale till 13 Nov, percentage discount varies depending on the set you are looking at.

 

Toys R Us - Toy sale from 13 Nov to 19 Nov, 20% off all Lego

 

Target - Toy sale from 14 Nov to 20 Nov, 20% off all Lego

 

ToyWorld - Toy sale till 17 Nov, percentage discount varies depending on the set you are looking at.

 

Myer - Toy sale from 12 Nov to 01 Dec, percentage discount varies depending on the set you are looking at.

 

David Jones - Nothing!

 

Nothing really jump out at me at the moment, hope there will be a bigger discount when closer to Xmas? At least a 30 to 40%? slim chance.

[lego caesar]

Unless there's some amazing pricing i'm going to hold off until hopefully the post-xmas boxing day sales

 

Amazon will hopefully have some good black friday deals as well,  even factoring P+**** it's still cheaper in some cases than store sales here

The problem being Amazon is starting to limit what sets we can get again.

[BrickPick3r]

Do they normally have big discount during Xmas?

[lego caesar]

Amazon can be really confusing with their Australian shipping policies

 

For example last week i ordered a few of the battle for smallville and batman tumbler sets while they were cheap, this week they're back to being unable to ship 

 

With the currency being closer to parity the last few days it's been a good time to order a few of the LR and HH sets

Is the HH cheap? Last time i tried, it's about $236.

Target is having an "ONLINE ONLY early bird sale." Not much range of lego sets. But there is a Diagon Alley 10217@ $223 after discount.

Wow..... a little tempted, though I already have 25 of them. 

These had jumped up to $300 recently with only one under that price on eBay. 

I just don't really have the space. 

[BrickPick3r]

it won't have much impact. Because it's all gone now hahaha
