Ted Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Hopefully there will be a sale on the lego otherwise the Ewok Village at RRP $389 is a bit hard to swallow. Quote
Out of the Dark Years Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Hopefully there will be a sale on the lego otherwise the Ewok Village at RRP $389 is a bit hard to swallow. It was hard to swallow, but once I actually had the box in my hands that was it. Quote
Jules_K Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I would say there's a near certainty Ewok Village is discounted in the upcoming Target Toy Sale.... if you look at the preview for the sale they have that set showing. Quote
ykusnadi Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Hopefully there will be a sale on the lego otherwise the Ewok Village at RRP $389 is a bit hard to swallow. I believe it will be 20% off like usual when they have toy sale for lego.. Quote
Out of the Dark Years Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 That's if the target stores & target online has any stock left of the Ewok Village & UCS R2-D2 Quote
Jules_K Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 That's if the target stores & target online has any stock left of the Ewok Village & UCS R2-D2 If they're in the catalogue then you'd think they'd have a decent amount of stock in, still you'll probably have to act fast. I'm going to go nuts on the R2-D2's, they're a sure winner for investment. Quote
kandj999 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I saw R2D2 and Ewok Village (lots of them) at my local Target today and I think the in store sale starts 23-Jul14. Start saving! Quote
LegoPizza Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I saw R2D2 and Ewok Village (lots of them) at my local Target today and I think the in store sale starts 23-Jul14. Start saving! According to Target Australia on Facebook that is correct. 23 July in store and 18 July online. Not sure if I'll go nuts on the R2's or not. They'll definitely be a winner investment wise, but my money will be tied up for an easy two years if it retires mid-late next year. Since it's a Target exclusive who knows if they'll reappear after this sale, haven't seen Batman Arkham Asylum (10937) for an easy six months and that's meant to be a Target exclusive. Quote
melmo78 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 what would be a good price to grab R2D2 at? does anyone know how long the TRU buy 1 get 1 half off on selected lego is on for? Quote
Out of the Dark Years Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 what would be a good price to grab R2D2 at? does anyone know how long the TRU buy 1 get 1 half off on selected lego is on for? Starts 16th July ends 29th July but it was already working on the website on the 15th. Not much star wars stuff on the website though. http://catalogues.toysrus.com.au/offer/building-sets-model-supplies/lego-brands/4z7wc5nb8.html And I'm a bit skeptical about the 9516 Jabba's Palace & 7879 Hoth Echo Base stock, perhaps they have some in their east coast warehouse.

Out of the Dark Years Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Target Australia Toy Sale Catalogue is up with 20% off all lego (see pages 28 & 29) http://catalogues.target.com.au/catalogue/target-catalogue--the-greatest-toy-sale-on-earth/14046939147712.html Ewok Village is $309 UCS R2-D2 is $199 Starts instore on 23rd Website looks like it's being updated as i type this. I doubt we'll see the above 2 sets any cheaper in Australian Bricks & Mortar stores. Quote
Lachy Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Ewok Village is a beautiful set but at AUD 309 no bargain. Amazon delivers this set to Australia for AUD 302. The only advantage I can see is the fact that you can pick your box and make sure it is not damaged. Getting one for yourself seems reasonable but I do not see any investment potential at this stage. In regards to the R2D2, this is the third time that Target Australia sell this set and it makes you wonder how many are out there...A while ago Target sold Hobbit sets at 50% off. That was an opportunity. Since then I have not bought much there. Quote
Out of the Dark Years Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Toys R US Australia is having BOGO 50% off http://www.toysrus.com.au/www/732/1001127/search.asp?frombox=true&searchstring=35960&selecttype=2&utm_source=eDM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=[%20WK24_ROTO_1507_NONVIP] on Star Wars, Creator, Chima & Duplo range Stores have a much better selection than online.

TheDarkness Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 LEGO Shop at Home has lifted the Free Shipping limit to $200!!! Rotten bastards Quote
Ted Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 That is ridiculous. Darn.....as if our Lego shop at home shipping is not higher than the rest of the world? Right when the minis are coming out too..... Quote
Out of the Dark Years Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Ewok Village already sold out at Target Aus online after the first day of the online sale. Only chance now for $309 is instore for those still wanting one from Target. Quote

In addition to my post above I saw recently that SSD's are definitely part of the promotion. So two SSD's for $1049 ($524.50 each) if you can find a store with two or more that is. Quote

Out of the Dark Years Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 What baffles me is no new wave Lego Movie sets have hit any shops in Australia at all. The movie is already out on Blu-Ray and DVD and we pay some of the highest prices in the world for Lego. The only recently released sets I've seen is the Arctic Ice-Breaker in the BigW sale. Seems mighty silly for Lego to hold off giving stock as kids will be wanting these sets after watching the movie. Quote
Bosstransam Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I bought two 10220 VW from Toys R Us today, with the discount they came to $127.50 ea Not bad... But pickings were slim on most of the other Lego. Quote
TheDarkness Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 You can get 20% off ebay purchases under the toys/hobbies and other categories. Redemption code is CTOYSTASTIC Some bargains to be had that is for certain! Quote
Jules_K Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Does this apply to ANY sellers of Lego? Or is it only the goods listed here: http://deals.ebay.com.au/FlashSale/Big-Sunday-Toy-Sale/LEGO?_trkparms=clkid%3D8437867555850612381 Quote

LegoPizza Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Awesome! Just picked up a SSD from the Ebay discount. Have to try not go too nuts today! Quote
