josh_676 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 On topic of a bear market, is anyone seeing anything in the new releases worth grabbing? Other than Slave I, I'm not really seeing anything that is blowing my hair back... Quote
whoisbiggles Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I picked up a few of the Justice League Cosmic Clash DVD's with the Cosmic Boy minifigures at Big W for $11.20 yesterday, looks like these will be a quick flip on eBay. Quote

JeffProbst Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I'm sure you guys are aware of it already, but there is a sale on at the moment and your local Target might be worth a visit. A lot of items are 30% off. Found LEGO Movie sets, Brick Bounty, Creator Bike Shop/Cafe, UCS Tie (around $209) and others in the stores that I went to. 1 Quote

So the stores you went to had Bike shops and UCS Tie? My locals haven't had those in a while. Is it a restock by any chance? Quote
JeffProbst Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Don't think that it's a restock, I suspect that they are just trying to create shelf space. Store I went to today had a big pile of Bike Shops and they have been there for a while. Quote
Ronan.46 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Thanks for the tip jeffprobst, are you in wa? Would like to find Ucs tie for sale Quote

Found a lone Kwik-E-Mart today at my local, must have been a lay-by as it wasn't registering on any of the pricing machine systems. I left it as I didn't want to waste time on it.

I think i'm up to 12 copies at the moment. I have 11 of the Trickster DVDs (all sealed). Quote

The Cosmic Clash DVD's are all gone, almost bought the DVD without the minifigure on the weekend, which would have been a bit of a rookie mistake. Quote
gazza Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 i'm finding it very difficult not to proceed with any orders from LEGO Shop at Home with the double VIP deal that's on at the moment. i want to stock up on more scooby-doo sets but i just can't bring myself to going through with it as i'm going overseas in a fortnight. arghhhhhhhhh!!!!! did anyone snag a tumbler from target the other day? all sold out now wahhhhhhhhhhhhh :'( Quote
Ronan.46 Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 If you haven't seen already Myer has a 20% off sale starting today for 3 days. 1 Quote
Out of the Dark Years Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Great deal at BigW at the moment for future Lego purchases. Till the 16th BigW gift cards are 10% off as advertised in the current catalogue. If you have an entertainment book you can buy an wish egift card first for 5% off first online and sent to your email (usually within a few hours) Then go to BigW with the printout, grab a BigW gift card and go to a self service checkout, get the staff member to sort out the value of the card with 10% off and after they have sorted it out then whip out your egift card printout to pay for it using the egift option on the screen. I think they will only do one gift card at a time through the self service area but you can put a maximum of $500 on the card. and unfortunately they are only valid for 1 year from date of purchase. This effectively gives you 14.5% off on top of any sale they have for the next year. 1 Quote

Not sure how much longer they will be available for, they were certainly short lived at retail here. As for the Tumbers at Target they were listed as 30% off, same with the UCS Tie Fighters but they were like finding a needle in a haystack. Perhaps Target doesn't have any final order of Tumblers. Sorry gazza Also they may not be getting anymore Tie Fighters if they had them on clearance at 30% off. Edited March 12, 2016 by Out of the Dark Years Quote

JeffProbst Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Scoped out the nearest Toyworld to me that is running the Chicken Guy promotion. Not much of interest and pretty much everything was above RRP, but they did have a lone PR. Asked if I could grab more Chickens given that I was spending more than the required $50 and the cashier willingly gave me 8. I'm not sure where the price will settle with these but was pretty happy with that. 1 Quote

ED-209 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Red Arm is worth about 9 bucks on BSS atm. That was another Big W debarkle. I got four all up from 3 transactions, but Big W cronysim meant that some lucky individuals got 50. On BSS yesterday, a guy had a bunch of chickens for 35 a pop and they sold fast.

Yeah good luck to him. Supply and demand leads me to think that $35 is unsustainable. Quote

Finally had a chance to scope out my hidden gem of a Target store (low socioeconomic area). Found about 10 Brick Bounty and a lone albeit hidden SW Advent Calendar (perfect condition - 30% off). Not much else there but, if the rumoured 50% off clearance is true - I'll know where to go to stock up on BBs. Quote
whoisbiggles Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Heads up to anyone who has a stash of Poes X-Wing polybag - guess what is next month's (April) Kidzone magazine giveaway? Quote
gazza Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Anyone being charged shipping by lego when it should be for free if over $200? I understand that there is a bit of a glitch on the website today. Quote
josh_676 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 They are new sets, so unless you want to sit on them for 3 years, none of them. 1 Quote
braiko Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Hey guys, short time collector, first time investor here, looking for a quick bit of advice. Having only just got back into Lego and buying waayy too much for the collection already, was thinking of buying a few extras to offset the cost. The first item I thought might be worthwhile taking the plunge on: Benny's Spaceship, $104. Reasonable? Quote
