If you are stopping through the USA at all, I'd try to grab them there, and leave the boxes, even with the AU$ near parity it is still cheaper to get the sets at US$ prices.

Thanks for the advice. However I will not be stopping US this time round. Lego prices in Canada is not very attractive. Looks like I will wait for the next sales..... Thanks again!

Oh. Well there has to be one in stock somewhere in Melbourne. Their policy says it has to be in the same city. If they say one doesn't have them make them call another, and another. Chances are they will cave before they get to the last store in Melbourne

Just do the "feel method" if unsure with the dots. I ended up with the set with only one duplicate. That was from first go based solely off the dots. So I started feeling for unique parts for each fig I wanted if unsure about the dots.
Also spotted these in Toyworlds for $3.99 each. Cheaper than targets $4.90.

I know this is probably rare and impossible - but I'm looking for the Grand Carousel #10196 set. Heard that it was released at DJs in Dec 2009. I know 2 years ago and Lego have already stopped producing it. Those on eBay are way overpriced.
But if you see it somewhere else or know someone selling at a reasonable price, please let me know. Ta. :)

Myer have a few of their older sets on clearance. However the clearance prices are not marked and the staff have no idea so you'll have to experiment by taking a few sets you want up to the counter. I snagged the fire brigade for about $150

You could try bricklink.com.
Might end up with similar price as ebay but its worth a shot.
DJ only had a limited supply. I got mine the day they put them out and they only had about 4.
The US might have gotten a bigger supply, but then you'd also have to pay postage

Last week (and likely still) there was 30% off on top of the $109 red ticketed price bringing it down to ~$72. If you can't catch one at Myer, Big W are selling the same set for about $74.
I've heard this additional 30%-off-already-reduced-prices at Myer also applies to the atlantis neptune carrier, atlantis hq, woody's roundup and as I mentioned earlier, the fire brigade.

The clearance sale may have been gone. I went to Sydney CBD DJ today and they have 10 Lego Set 10197, all marked at RRP ($299). I asked the lady who works in toy sectiion there about the DJ clearance at Parramatta. She rang up the toy department in Parramatta and they confirmed the price for Fire Bridgade was $299.
If someone who can get the set at $110, please PM here.

Police advent calender - half price for $25 (pretty hard to find though)
Super duper high-end Nasa space shuttle thing - $99 instead of around $150ish
All Kingdoms are marked down but there aren't many left. Most seem to still have the Village (now $69) and the Blacksmith (now $12). I found one place with King's Carriage (now $35) and 7187 prison escape (now $25)

TRU Castle Hill had 1 of each of the smaller sets, but I could not justify the $50 price tag for such small sets.
Same TRU had series 7 minifigs in the 3 for the price of 2 sale.

Big W had the Wolverine and Cosmic Cube escape sets advertised for $38-$39. Whether they have any in stock is another question.

Big W's are definitely cheaper, and the Ballarat one has the Cap/Chitari pack for, the X-Men Helicopter, and something else I can't quite remember... but shit these sets are Toy Story pricing. At best. Don't think I can justify them at all right now.

There's 20% off sales this week at Target which will bring some of the more expensive sets down. Smaller sets are same price as Big W. The Quinjet set is definitely cheaper at $99.
Big W also has the the Cap truck and Wolverine copter in its catalogue so expect it to be in stock there.
But yes, we're getting gouged. Makes me angry at Lego.

I saw Minifigures at Target today.
Also, regarding price, everyone needs to complain to Lego. I've been harassing a senior PR and Communication Manager on Twitter (http://twitter.com/Andrew_Arnold). I have also written a formal complaint via the customer service page (http://service.lego.com/en-US/Contactus/default.aspx) on the website.

Won't they blame the retailers for the price gouging?
Big W selling them for $38 is still nearly double the US price, so I do wonder how Lego will respond...
-EDIT-
So LotR sets are now on sale at lego.com (not sure if they will ship here yet, seems like maybe only US and Canada).
Original article. (http://www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=3231)
Prices:
9469, Gandalf Arrives, $12.99
9470, Shelob Attacks, $19.99
9471, Uruk-hai Army, $29.99
9472, Attack on Weathertop, $59.99
9473, The Mines of Moria, $79.99
9474, The Battle of Helm's Deep, $129.99
9476, The Orc Forge, $39.99
I think the Canadian prices will be closer to ours:
Gandalf Arrives $14.99
Shelob Attacks $24.99
Uruk-hai Army $39.99
Attack on Weathertop $74.99
The Mines of Moria $99.99
The Battle of Helm's Deep $169.99
The Orc Forge $49.99
I wonder how they defend those increases considering the two countries have similar currency prices, and same general location...

Found the some of the new Lego Star Wars in Kmart, including:
Old Republic Starfighter $79
Desert Skiff $49
Jabba's Palace $199
Endor and Yavin 4 planet set $14.95
Gouki

The first three are all at Target, along the with the Yavin/X-Wing set. Same price for the X-Wing, 95 cents more for the actual sets.
But, jesus, as nice as that Jabba's palace, or even the Old Republic set looked that is some serious price gouging. I didn't realise Lego were making the move from toys to high-end, overly expensive collector only products (that just happen to look like kids toys).
Well after looking at it, the US are paying $0.16 per piece in the Jabba's palace set, and we're paying $0.28 per piece. That's... pretty terrible.

Not a sighting as such, but TRu is selling the Lord of the Rings Helm's Deep set for $180 this week, saving $20.
Thats one expensive set!

It's expensive, but seems to suffer much lower price gouging than the SW sets. Plus it's mostly brickbuilt, rather than cheating with big panels like the normal castle sets do.

TRU Penrith had the Helms Deep, Moria, UrukHai Army, Weathertop, Shelob and Gandalf Arrives sets.
Picked up Moria, Shelob and gandalf with the 25% off voucher. Would have gotten helms deep, but it was not part of the 25% off sale.

Catalogue is out, $489 is the asking price. Didn't say if that was a sale price only but it does note Limited Stock so I don't expect them to last.
Also looks like Big W will be getting limited numbers of the DINO series as part of the catalogue sale!
jaydisc
16th June 2012, 02:07 PM
$498, yeah, which is a fantastic price. Full price is $699. On May the 4th, the AU shop.lego.com had it for $560. So if anyone's interested, do grab.
It's pretty much exactly what I paid importing from the USA, but had I known, I would not have gone through the hassle. It's a bit inconsistent, as last year's big Lego exclusive, the Imperial Shuttle, was $448 before and after the sale, which is the same as the full price at lego.com.

Big W has Helms Deep for $50 less than TRU! And looks like Orc Forge is a Big W exclusive...

Yep DINO were in the catalogue. The price in the catalogue for helms deep is not even a sale price, it's Big W's everyday price.
Sure beats the $200 Myer and TRU have been asking for.

There were also some Lord of the Rings sets, along with a giant empty space. Probably left like that to make space for the star destroyer set.

I was at Big W yesterday and I saw it for $148. $87.49 is a great price, but once you throw on the $30 standard shipping from LEGO, it sorta spoils it IMO.
jaydisc
8th July 2012, 10:42 AM
$117.49 is still way better than $148. The cheapest one I can find new on eBay is $130 (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/705-53470-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5574719522&toolid=10001&campid=5336433113&customid=&icep_item=270862975804&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229515&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) (though you can make an offer).

I saw them in Kmart last week. I remember the Ghost Train was around $100 (give or take $10) the Werewolf Tree was about $35 from memory and there was also the Haunted House and another smaller set but can't remember the prices. My daughter wanted the Werewolf set but it looked overpriced IMO, so we got a few smaller City sets instead.
