Alucard1982 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Just saw that the Sept LEGO Shop at Home free gift offer is the Kai dragon. A bit underwhelming again, better than last month's offer. Where is that London Bus? Disappeared or just not going to be offered in Australia?It's coming in Oct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate with no cc gave me the coin to buy him an airjitzu temple , so now I have a dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very quaint in my opinion. Not too good for investing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 $800 Aussie dollars for the Death Star? hahahahahaha I dont think so. Think LEGO might get a shock on this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 OMG Lego had gone bonkers? Are they out of their minds? Aud$800 for this remake? No bloody way! Thought I will nuy one just to go with my one 10188 but too bad....rather get the castle to sit beside it.This lousy price will be the thing keeping 10188 price high enough probably around 500 -600 mark.

Think LEGO might get a shock on this one. While I agree that's an absurd amount for this set, considering the original Australian RRP of $700, it really isn't a huge hike when compared to the increases which other regions have experienced. In this sense we got off better than I thought we would. Still no way I'm paying that, though. Got my 10188 for $400AUD when the dollar was strong- virtually half the price for nearly the exact same set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really underrated set. Looks amazing when built and on display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan1 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 If disney wasn`t getting a % from 10188, as it was released before the lucasfilm deal. Maybe this is a legal way to acknowledge it`s now licenced by disney, but price it high, to the point where no one or very little sell. not sure how lego licence deals work.

May sell so poorly it retires really early, making it scarse and the next 10179. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Can everyone imagine if this "new" death star cost $800, then if there is a new remake of the UCS MF 10179...that might cost an arm and a leg...plus a few fingers etc...plus throw the wallet on the table.!

Either way, it won't affect me as I will never buy one. I even emailed LEGO and said they had gone too far in pricing and wondered who it was aimed at. Got the usual bland response.

jomandybri Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Just noticed the Shop at Home site has been relaunched for Oz, too. And free shipping is advertised at a $100 min. spend- I feel like it was $150/200, can anyone confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
