Australian General LEGO Update

[Amac]

LEGO Shop at Home au has some items in the "sale" section of the website again. Only about 10% discount, so you can find sets cheaper elsewhere but now we're going to have a warehouse over here do you think they'll finally have things for sale other than keyrings and pencils a bit more often?

[Furious_george]

Anyone still after the new UCS falcon? 

Kidstuff.com.au. Helps if I put the store name in.

Have confirmed with CS , this will be available tomorrow during their sale for $910 + delivery which was only $20 for me in WA. 

Needless to say , you will have to be quick.

Long time lurker with a question: I rarely if ever see Technic discussed here. Is it not a popular line with buyers? 

[Alucard1982]

Love lurkers, tell us a bit about yourself Nigel.

Hi Alucard.  I've been getting back into Lego the last few years and enjoy checking this site for tips on getting cheaper sets.  I'm a collector not an investor, although I do sell the odd set to help fund one I like better.  It's always a tough choice to decide which one to sell because I only buy stuff i'd be happy to build and display.  I like Technic and Creator sets, hence my earlier Technic question.  I also enjoy the scavenger hunt aspect buying from obscure online toyshops, waiting patiently for bargains at Kmart etc, snagging an awesome deal like the 30% off UCS MF I got the other day.  It's also a lot of fun watching you people gamble on Lego trends - less fun to see the sets I could have got a much better deal on.  Keep up the great work team!

this. I agree. Yesterday in my local Big W  they had Ninjago Movie theme sets for about 40% off, yet in another Big W near my work, no such sale. Finding those little gems is a little addictive.

Nice. Also go to the Myer ebay store and double check, at the moment ebay are offering me another 15% off purchases and for me it looks 'stakable' with this sale as well.

mostly known for its racetrack

[Ted]

Lol you made me think that Lego set up a warehouse in Australia so that's why the reduction in shipping fee...impossible isn't it? where they have a factory in China...why not set up the warehouse and packaging service out from there?

Ted

[Furious_george]

According to CS , our new and shiny wharehouse IS in Eastern creek , NSW. My last order was made on a Friday and arrived following Tuesday.

[Ted]

All the more so...all the more better

Kylo Ren Tie fighter $64 in store only at Target. Good luck finding one. 

[Nigel 1]

^^^ got the last one from my local Target. Not hugely into SW but just can’t walk past half price lego. 

UCS MF arrived yesterday. I knew the box was going to be big, but crikey hell fire! There’s no hiding that from the missus.
