Australian General LEGO Update

Was at Myer Doncaster in Vic yesterday and picked up 3x Ecto-1 and a simpsons house.  Spoke to the Toy section manager, he said they only had 6 modulars and a handful of mini coopers allocated to them, all sold on the first day due to people putting them on hold.  

He said Myer Melb got a much larger allocation of modulars but a lot of them are on hold (pretty much all sold) and it sounded like they were happy to hold more than 1 for people.  The Doncaster manager was happy to hold a modular but was limited to 1 and had to be picked up that day, sounded very fair given the popularity of these sets when on sale.

You'll probably find that some of the "hold" allocation maybe going towards Internet orders that were lodged by other means :)

Dr who cannot be compared to minecraft. If I was to head out to a comic-con and suggest that  to any hardcore dr fan, I would  find a sonic screw driver in my bits and my head placed into a green box with holes punched into it for eyes whilst it was on. P.S in my house it is called minecrap.

Hahaha we share the same sentiment, but our 7yo likes it :/

Made a hell of a profit off those sets though

Not worth the effort surely.

No recent feedback for the seller and no-one in their right mind would sell 7 Town Halls for this amount.

Just ties up your money for a month

Yeah it's a scam, just took a punt and noticed the PayPal address. It's an email address linked to 163.com.

Lucky I had some spare change to gamble. Now to wait and see what doesn't rock up and PayPal chargeback.

True Jeff, but could you live with yourself if you don't buy one and it ends up being legit? ;-)

 

Hats off to you if a $100 Town Hall arrives on your doorstep, but I just don't see how it isn't a scam. Have no regrets either way

 

Guys finding $100 Imperial Shuttles at Big W is another story though. Ridiculous

The cheap town halls are back again, Ebay is overrun with hacked accounts at the moment.

In related news the cheapest shipped town hall is now up to $660, so prices have doubled over the last 4 months. I wonder how much higher this set will climb?

I am concerned with the amount of scams on ebay, I would like to whoop these people into another realm. Do they not understand every entry from their  IP address is now recorded and kept for two years. Jo hockey may want to catch up with them for trying to avoid taxes.  Now to hear that people purchased a imperial shuttle for $100 I nearly vomited all over my zenbook and yes townhalls have almost blasted off into space at a cost now of over $600, glad I bought one a few years back for around $200 at David Jones. Now for lego back to the future fans, the Doc is headed to Mebourne this weekend for supernova, he is doing autographs for around $70 imagine one of his signatures on a mint box.
