They gotta knock at least another $50 off Aussault on Hoth before I have a sniff. Not for resale, just the collection. Haven't got that one yet.  Funny set, hard to even find one used.

No shortage of Assault on Hoth at any of the local Targets round my way over the past month. The Batcave have only seen one on shelves.

SW advent calendars are sold out at LEGO Shop at Home. Might help the poor prices it's getting on eBay.

Still plenty around at RRP this weekend. Last years SW calendar has been steady at $70 on eBay for the last few months - low sales volume thou.

Plenty around here too but I'm not paying $350 for the Hoth fun pack. That bat cave is weird. Who's it aimed at?

[Furious_george]

Target eBay have AoH for $314 with caus10 code. Still not biting.

Bucket wheel excavator is a steal too at $270. Hurry up tho, not many left.

No idea who the batcave is aimed at, not me.

AoH doesn't have the wow factor for a personal purchase, maybe when the price starts with a 2.

Agreed. I reckon we could find it for $250 before Chrissy.

Guys, which other stores sells the helicarrier (apart from bigW)

Only Big W - I believe it was there exclusive

Can only hope, at that price, probably won't be able to find it.

Target should probably have gotten the Temple of Airjitsu as an exclusive.

[Furious_george]

Ok 250 is probably too optimistic. 275

The GT3 is now available at Toys R Us online, with a BOGO50% sale starting tomorrow. SOH also in stock online.

[Furious_george]

Will only let you buy one SOH which sort of kills the deal. Even at 25% off, Porsche is better value elsewhere.

Not only that, shipping is also another consideration when purchasing at TRU as they might charge $30 .

Wow that's pretty steep.

Fair points, may be more useful in store where there mightn't be a limit.

I'm not particularly hopeful, as I don't recall ever having had particularly fantastic deals from there. To me it's much more of an American thing we don't seem to get a lot of over here, sadly

Ahem...side tracked a bit. Nothing to do with Lego. Long queue seen at Big W and Target for the Nintendo mini nes..... just info for those interested in Australia.

[whoisbiggles]

Saw a report this morning that the ATO will be requesting seller information from eBay, starting with those who have sales in excess of $12k. Unclear as whether the $12k figure is per year or over a longer time period.

[Furious_george]

I've had my eBay name for 10 years and I still forget it. No chance with a newy.

Link pls!

[Jules_K]

It used to be $10k, I got a nice email from Ebay last financial year stating my details had been passed on to the ATO. Unless you're doing major volume I wouldn't bee too concerned, just keep all your receipts just in case.

Ed , instead you should say...

THE GATE ! OPEN THE GATE !

[ED-209]

hahaha

I'm def under 10K. Maybe in the future I may surpass that threshold.

I should probably use gumtree more ( I rarely use it)

ebay sucks with fees etc, but it is clinical and easy to use and you don't have to deal with time wasters
