Lego Sightings

[BruiseLee]

Hey guys, wondering if you could help me out here. Do you think (at least in your personal opinion) it's worth it to just pay $30 for the shipping at Lego Shop@home, or is it better to buy enough to make $150 for the free shipping? Or maybe it would be better to just wait until a local online retailer gets it?

I'm a bit peeved at the $30 shipping expense, but at the same time I don't think I want enough things to justify $150.

A tough one in this case as the Ghostbusters set is $70 so it's not a small top up for free shipping. $30 for shipping is a bit much. Perhaps see if anyone else on the boards is keen to buy something to make up the diff for free shipping?

[JuzMel]

Okay guys, am peeved that I didn't managed to get my hands on a LEGO Simpsons House from Myer in the current toy sale catalogue. Was here on the first day of the sale at 2pm and it was sold out nationwide! Can anybody who sees it at Myer let me know, thanks! And if you have my mobile, send me a text pretty pls!

[Stompy]

It looks as if Myer bring out the stock prior to the sale (unintentionally) and sell out before even the sale begins. I was going to layby it but none available on the first day of the sale. Big W is the next chance to get it. Just hope that they hold out on stocking them prior to the sale. Also, get in the day before late afternoon as the Sale prices tend to tick over then.

I'm lowering my expectations on acquiring one at a sale price.

[Krayt]

Southland David jones had a heap, maybe they will price match?

I know Big W put them out before their sale. I picked one up a week or so ago.

[Fungal Infection]

Apparently Myers are getting another refill of the Simpson's house as I was told by my local that they'd sold out. The guy at the counter took my details down and said if one came up, he'd give me a call. Today, I got a call and they said they were getting some more but not in time for the end of the sale but stated they would honour the sale price if I was willing to wait for refill which he stated wouldn't be until September at the earliest.

[JuzMel]

I don't quite believe what the staff at Myer says purely because everyone tells you a different thing. I spoke to a guy last Thu when it sold out and he told me stock comes in every Tue/Wed and asked me to call and check then as he believes since the sale is so long, there will be more stock coming in. Then I checked with another couple more sales assistants and they told me once they sell out, there's no more and they don't know when it's coming in. I just hate them giving different answers. I'll just check in store every week if I can before the sale ends to try my luck.

Great for you fungal that they are willing to honour the sale price. The lady at my local Myer said no rain checks! :mad:

[Senor_2]

David Jones has 20% off Lego including the Simpsons house today! Just ordered mine online including free delivery - get on it ppl!

I got conflicting info from Myer, one store said they could take orders with limited numbers available per store, but the Sydney city store (with apparently the most available orders) confirmed they were told by Lego they couldn't get more stock, so who knows what their situation is.

I almost forgot about David Jones. Last time I was in their Melbourne CBD store (about 6 months back) they still had TF stock from Revenge of the Fallen. If they are actually stocking toys again I may have to have a look.

[Fungal Infection]

Just ordered online, sold out but click and collect is available. Thanks for the heads up Senor_2!!

Thanks for the heads up Senor_2. Just orderd mine for click and collect too and hopefully will be able to pick up Wed or Thu. That 20% off LEGO for the Simpsons house is even cheaper than Big W's price at the upcoming toy sale.

I'm really annoyed at all this conflicting information from the dept stores. When an item sells out, they can never ever give a definite reliable answer. :rolleyes:

Btw guys, if anyone is interested, I just bought the LEGO winter village market (http://www.mrtoys.com.au/?LEGO-Toys/LEGO-Creator/LEGO-Winter-Village-Market-10235;Item;22055) from Mr Toys World. They were having a sale on it.

[senzan]

Anyone know the release date for bennys Spaceship? Can't find any details on retail sites.

[Krayt]

Is available from Lego online, so should hit retail soon, ecspecially with the DVD imminant

I asked earlier at the city Myer in Sydney, they said the Simpsons house was sold out everywhere but to leave contact details and they would contact me when they got in another shipment (sometime between Sept-Dec though). They would honour the current sale price.

The new shipment apparently would go to ppl that have left their details, there was no plans atm to put any back onto floor stock. So I assume that means they are getting very limited supply ... that said, the original Lego VW camper van was like that ... now they have heaps of them and way cheaper than the original price ... I think if your willing to wait, there'll be lots of them around soon enough.

[BruiseLee]

Does an online sighting count? New wave of Lego movie sets should hopefully be arriving soon in stores around the 2nd July blu ray release but the lego online shop now has them. RRP as follows:

Emmets-Construct-o-Mech = $90
Super Secret Police Dropship = $120
Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! = $150

Wonder if the release will be within one of the sales periods happening soon.

[Stompy]

Anyone seen the 10244 Fairground Mixer set in any shops?

[Lint]

Anyone seen the 10244 Fairground Mixer set in any shops?

Saw one at shopforme on Lygon street the other day however it was in their stairwell where they keep the stuff thats been reserved by web orders. Might be worth calling them up to see if they got more.

[Stompy]

Thanks Lint. Never knew about that shop. Their prices are pretty good. Might drop down there this week. Though their store hours sure are odd. I guess they are first and foremost an online store.

[Lint]

I think the dudes who run it still have dayjobs. I've bought from them in-store and online and can't really fault their service.

[Stompy]

Lint:
The ticket prices on their brick and mortar store is DISTINCTLY different to their online shop! Yikes.

[Omega Metro]

Lego Ewok Village at Target Midland. $389!:eek: looks quite big though and you get a lot of Ewoks. It will be on sale with Targets toy sale though in a few weeks.

[i_amtrunks]

Has anyone seen the newer winter sets for marvel (blackbird and guardians of the galaxy), ultra agents or tmnt anywhere yet?

Shopforme has most of them but at a higher price than the lego shop.

Hoping that TRU may have them with their current buy one, get the second for 50%.

[Lint]

I've had them match online prices and even old sale prices in-store if you ask politely. How DISTINCTLY of a price difference are we talking?

[Stompy]

Lint:
RRP or more on some of the rarer sets. Definitely not the 20-25% less than rrp int he website.

[STL]

Just spruiking my sale thread in the sales area, I've got some Lego mini-figs and whatnot for sale too for the interested.

[Thorns2010]

I checked the computers again at work today(Big W) for Lego Movie Benny's Spaceship Spaceship Spaceship!!!

Is is active in the system now, and the store I work at has 4 on order. So hopefully in a couple weeks it will be in stock. It was listed at $148. I didn't write down the item number, but I'll try and do that tomorrow though.

Thanks for the intel Thorns! Looks like TLG is gonna be handing these out to retailers in August.

[colin78]

I checked the system today and the last 3 Lego Movie sets will all be sold by Big W...ETA 12th of august.

70814 Emmet's Construct-o-Mech - $88
70815 Super Secret Police Dropship - $118

i saw the GotG set last night at Uncle Petes of all places they are usually the last to get anything new...

[i_amtrunks]

Thanks, I caved and bought the GotG and Blackbird set from Aamazon. More than I was going to spend in one hit, but overall a fair whack cheaper than buying for RRP here. Blackbird and Racoon sets were about $30 cheaper online, the larger GotG set about $50 cheaper.

Sadly Lego movie sets are not available to ship here and the Agents sets are not out at all as yet.

[Zippo]

Come back from Australia to find New Zealand on the ball!

New City Arctic sets, New Lego Movie sets, New Lego Chima sets and New Lego Star Wars sets.

So many nice items!!

[loophole]

I spotted the new GotG sets today at my local toyworld and of course bought one for myself :)

Which set? The Milano Rescue or the Knowhere Escape?

[Omega Metro]

Myer Morley has the GotG sets. About 4 or 5 sets. Didn't check prices or what ones they were.

[loophole]

Which set? The Milano Rescue or the Knowhere Escape?

All 3 of them

[colin78]

finally! thanks colin - cant wait :D

Wow, some crazy prices there. I am glad that I got the three sets from amazon that after shipping are about 30% cheaper! There is no way that 76020 is worth $75, I was not overly happy paying $40, but LEGO know it will sell as it has Groot and Rocket in it.

[colin78]

Yeah,

I thought they were pretty high prices for the box sizes...

Target have the three previously mentioned GotG sets. Going for usual Lego store rrp but there is 20% off Lego at Target till Sunday.

[Krayt]

Hahahahaha....

I saw some simpsons minifigs in a Kmart today.... Each one sealed in a CD security case!

Just thought I'd mention it

[i_amtrunks]

Coles is selling "works with popular brands" lego style minifigures based on AFL and NRL players for $2 a pop. Blind packed and indistinguishable from one another bar for a select few that are meant to come with a mini football.

Printing is excellent, the faces are done in a very stylised manner. Sam Burgess and Thurston's are spot on I think!

Yeah they're up to series 2 now, some of them face prints are very well caricatured and hilarious. They also put way more effort into some of the hairpieces than LEGO ever have. Only downside is you can't remove and swap hairpieces around like LEGO.

They should do a 'legends' series featuring big names from the past :)

That will surely take up more retail space.

[lee]

Star Wars MTT Spotted at Toys R Us Carousel. $149.99, had quite a few at the main shelf. Also all 3 GOTG sets there.

[Sutton]

Star Wars MTT Spotted at Toys R Us Carousel. $149.99, had quite a few at the main shelf. Also all 3 GOTG sets there.

That new MTT is complete balls. Bugger all battle droids, and so ugly and small. The previous MTT (that came with 360 battle droids) was far superior in every way...


I'm hanging out for the Star Destroyer personally, since I missed the boat on the last one...

[LambOfPrimus]

Spotted all new StarWars, Ninja Turtles, and Lego Movie sets at both Big W and Myer. Walked away with an AT-AT and Benny's Spaceship Spaceship SPACESHIP ! :) :) :)

[i_amtrunks]

Same as LambofPrimus at Btown Big W, plus the lego city station and passenger train for $199! :eek:

A little off topic, but I've never owned a lego powered set, if I were to get a lego powered train from the USA, would I need to use a power point adapter to use it here, or are they battery powered?

Cheers.

[dirge]

Trunks; the Lego trains run on AAA batteries. I picked up a pack from Arizona on eBay, popped it into my Horizon Express with AAAs and away it went!

Btw which train/station did you see?

Thanks for the prompt response, sadly Amazon will not ship the sets to Australia (although it explicitly said they did on the order page!) and ebay prices after shipping end up worse than RRP here.

I saw the 60050 (http://brickset.com/sets/60050-1/Train-Station) set with the single level station for $75, as well as 60051 passenger train for the $199. I have a feeling the 60052 freight engine set will be a Myer or TRU exclusive. I must admit I was excited as the only time I normally see trains are at TRU for about 25% more than RRP.

[dirge]

I've been waiting for 60050! I'll have to head to my nearby Big Ws...

I actually picked up two extra train power sets on eBay (both for the Horizon Express). One was local; someone was selling just the engine (along with motor) for 7939; I picked it up during the 20% off toys a few Sundays ago. Maybe take a look on eBay (or even Brickset)?

[i_amtrunks]

Been looking, but I really don't have the space (or finances) to start down the slippery slope, because as we all know, once you get a train set, then you need more track, lots more track, buildings and sets to make a more "realistic" setting and it snowballs from there! :eek:

[Sinnertwin]

Emmet's Constructomech $89.95

You can get a rechargeable battery. They work fine, but you need to get an AUS style power cable or a US-AUS adaptor.

[dirge]

Picked up 2x 60050 on trunk's tipoff:

http://mail.paxeiro.com/60050.jpg

[Sinnertwin]

Big W have some new Nick & Live Action TMNT sets. No prices though

79115 Turtle Van Takedown
79117 Turtle Lar Invasion
79118 Karai Bike Escape
79119 Mutation Chamber Unleashed
791120 TRawket Sky Strike

[lee]

Target Joondalup have all new Star Wars sets except for Star Destroyer and MTT.
All new Ninja Turtle sets as well.

[BruiseLee]

TRU have the new non-movie Turtles sets. Shredder's Lair Rescue scanned up as $90. Couldn't see the Turtle Sub though :(

[Sutton]

Yep, space is my biggest problem; I've got 5 powered sets, plus the non-powered Steam Engine and Maersk Loco, and a whole shit-tonne of buildings and road plates, but no where to put them.

It's mostly packed in big plastic tubs, ready to go for later on - my 'midlife crisis in a box' kit :D

[Sutton]

Picked up 2x 60050 on trunk's tipoff:

That looks as cool as I thought it might. Although it's always a problem with the 'dolls house' buildings in Lego City.

For me the trickiest part (which isn't really evident in that photo) is building the second one as a "mirror image". Except for certain details like the ATM it's all built so both platforms are mirror images. I then modified it a little to make that central tower & combined roof (which wasn't hard).

[Stompy]

Any sightings of the Ultra Agent sets?

[Lint]

Picked up 2x 60050 on trunk's tipoff:

You absolute barstand. I have to pick up 2 now as well.

[dirge]

Glad to be of service...

[Sharky]

Toys r us were busy stocking the shelves with new stuff incliding the city artic sets, the new GotG sets the newer Lego movie sets including bennys spaceship ($149.99) and Movie Ninja Turlte sets

[BruiseLee]

Just a heads up, the new Batman Tumbler 76023 is now up for pre sale on the Lego online store for VIP members. $280 and will ship on 11th Sep.

[Sutton]

Saw all the new Star Wars and Friends lego at Kmart tonight; the Star Destroyer scanned up at $200, disappointing since kmart is usually a smidge cheaper on lego than other shops.

[Sinnertwin]

$280? Pffft. There goes that idea. Oh well, i'll just pick up a loose Joker and Batman from the next Fair then.

[i_amtrunks]

Goodluck with that, even though they are way out of scale with the tumbler (which I've heard is extremely fragile) since they are unique sculpts, I think only a few people will part with them!

[JuzMel]

http://mail.paxeiro.com/60050.jpg
Very nice dirge, that would go very nicely with my train sets too - if only I have space in the house.

Waiting for a sale to get the new FRIENDS sets - very typical girly sets I know...:rolleyes:

[Omega Metro]

TRU will have 'BUY 1 GET 1 HALF PRICE' starting next Wednesday 3rd September on all Technic, TMNT, Chima, CITY:), Friends, and CREATOR:)...........just so ya know:D;)

[Sinnertwin]

Goodluck with that, even though they are way out of scale with the tumbler (which I've heard is extremely fragile) since they are unique sculpts, I think only a few people will part with them!

Comparing the two, you're right, they won't want to part with them, but here's the Joker figure I was talking about that i saw at the Penrith Fair for $15 today:

There are noticeable differences, but for the price tag, I'm happy to overlook them :)

[Stompy]

Ultra Agents sets are finally out at Big W. So I'm happy. Though cruel fate meant all sets were there except for the Mission HQ Truck which is what I REALLY wanted.

Cheers Bruise, but I did go there today and found it. Thanks for the heads up. I don't usually buy an entire line but Agents, insects, robots or space are my favorite lines. Got the whole set, it's amazing how much cheaper they are if there's no license attached.

[colin78]

Has anyone seen the new sandcrawler (75059) set yet?

[Autocon]

Are they cheaper at BIG-W?!!

I saw them in target, bloody $80! $40! for such small sets :eek::eek:

Its an outrage!!:mad::eek:

[Krayt]

You gotta remember, lego has shrunk box sizes! They might look small, but they have gone Eco friendly and are saving cardboard and shipping space. I was devastated when the Parisian Resturant box was tiny, but for my box display being screwed, not the price

[Stompy]

Hurricane Heist - $88 ($90)
Toxikita's Toxic Meltdown - $48 ($60)
Infearno Interception (car) - $35 ($40)

Also they are larger than you think. Check the acquisition thread. I posted pictures. You can compare the sizes with the minifigs.

[DELTAprime]

Anyone know if the new Marvel X-men set 76022 is out here yet? I'm only seeing GotG Marvel sets around here, the Lego Wiki says the X-men set should have come out at the same time as the GotG sets.

[colin78]

Does anyone know if ANY retailers are getting the Plastic Man Minifigure as a preorder exclusive for the Lego Batman 3 game? EB Games only have a polybag tumbler and JB-HIFI have DLC. Thanks.

Doesn't seem like any brick and mortars store have the plastic man minifig. Was hoping Eb would as their parent company in US are the store which is giving out the minifig. Did come across this Australian online store:

I haven't bought from them before though.

76022 is listed in the Lego online shop (AU) as an August 2014 release at AUD $79.99. Certainly overpriced but still a must for any X-Men. It's already October and I haven't seen it in any physical store. There's plenty of Guardians of the Galaxy stuff from the Super Heroes line.

Amazon.com has the set on sale for USD $44.99 (x 1.2 conversion plus $11 USD x 1.2 conversion for shipping). Last time I checked it would not ship to Australia. That said, it changes all the time. In late July it was listed on eBay by Australian sellers for around $99. Yikes.

Eurobricks (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99257) has a review of them. They say there are 3 per box, still short packed, but not as short packed as some of the recent series where there were only 2 of some figures.

Three of the new Hobbit sets at Adelaide Toyworld - Witch-King Battle, Attack on Lake-Town, and The Battle of Five Armies. They didn't have the big set with Smaug in it though.

[i_amtrunks]

Three of the new Hobbit sets at Adelaide Toyworld - Witch-King Battle, Attack on Lake-Town, and The Battle of Five Armies. They didn't have the big set with Smaug in it though.

Any prices?

I've found the US to AU pricing seems to differ a little from lego line/ series, sometimes a licensed US$ 11 (or thereabouts) set goes for AU$22 or even $29 here.

Wish they'd had the Smaug set, I'd like to get someone whose seen it in hand give a reason why it might cost so much.

[SofaMan]

The Witch-King Battle (the smallest set, with 3 minifigs) was $22. I think The Battle of 5 Armies was $99? The Lake Town one was inbetween somewhere.

Nice, been looking for something to buy with the motorbike racers. TRU has buy one get one half price for CITY sets (in aspley anyway), earth moving sets look cool but not for me, as does the snow plough but it doesnt really fit what i have. Looking forward to finding a detective's office.

Lego 2015 sets at Kmart Garden City. Some of the $28 sets are priced at $20. Includes the Tow truck, the Plow truck, dune buggy, and the bike transporter. Service truck is still priced at $28 though. Not sure if other stores have the same deal.

I'm sure every BigW would have it now or by the end of the week. You will have no problems finding it soon enough. I have seen it at a few BigWs and Myer. Apparently it's 'good value' at $24 but I paid $18.70 at Myer and still think that is overpriced.

Thanks for the sighting guys! Picked up the Quinjet over the weekend from Myer!

[philby]

hi, not exactly sure where to post this, was thinking of buying the lego movie benny spaceship. i used to love that old space style and it looks awesome to me, there was a sale on at a couple of places over the weekend but i decided not to and might wait to see if it comes down again at somepoint.

i just had a look on ebay however since i was curious and saw this:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LEGO-Movie-Bennys-Spaceship-70816-2014-NEW-/301567753238?pt=AU_LEGO&hash=item4636d6bc16

it just kind of struck me as a little off, this sells for $150 at retail and about that on ebay, but bidding started at $0.99? it then jumped from $4 to $56. i don't have a massive lot of experience with ebay but if i bid on this do you think there might be something dodgy going on?

[Omega Metro]

Bennys Spaceship should be scanning at $90 at BigW from today ;)

[i_amtrunks]

Why the price reduction? :) New stock or clearance?

[philby]

thanks for the heads up i'll see if any of the nearby ones have it. any insight to my original question though? :)

[kovert]

I've seen many popular items start out at $0.99 and reach close to the RRP of that item. It is always helpful to note the eBay seller's feedback rating. If you think it is too good to be true, best steer clear to avoid disappointment.

[LambOfPrimus]

Lego Pirates and new Lego Agents sets have started to appear in both Myer and Target. So very tempted... but with new dc and marvel sets also out will have to be selective and wait for toy sales over the school holidays.

But if you can't wait, and don't need a sale, it is available from shop@home

Don't think 76042 has appeared but like you I'm hopeful as that $500 price tag is not awesome no matter what that lego movie song says!

Theres rumour flying that toy sales for both target and big w will be end of june. This is about a month earlier than normal if its true. Chances are it'll be the standard 20% off lego, like for usual toy sales.. so nothing too special.

Something of note though as far as jurassic world sets are concerned, it doesnt look like target are stocking the raptor set 75920. its not in the inventory yet, anyway.

was this recent or a couple of weeks ago?

A few weeks ago it hit shelves with the UCS slave 1, but never made it to the website. THis was during the 50% of 2nd item sale they had.

As a result of the timing, and their new ability to go to store A, pay for order from store B, get mailed to you for free... they sold out within hours across the country! (Last check hobart and somewhere in sydney had 4 each, but I never confirmed)

So you may be lucky if you check instore, but most are waiting for a restock

According to the internets the detective's office did blip online for a bit last week and some lucky people managed to get the order fulfilled. The vast majority however are either in your boat or are on backorder.

I think Myer pulled it from the website because they wanted to retain some stock for the mid year toy sales. It also seems that staff have been instructed to deny existence of any stock.

I saw Slave 1 (UCS) on a trolley on the floor (still in the shipping containers with the set number), and called about it on Saturday. Was denied.

Wouldnt surprise me, 2 stores i checked both had stock so i was sure the next afternoon i could grab one. I went to more stores but found none, and would've been a bit annoyed if I had of, because then there was 20% off lego on saturday, but maybe thats why the pulled them too. Oh well, we'll see next month. Either that or wair for the cafe/bike shop to go on sale again and buy 3-4 to moc up some buildings in the style of pet shop. I'll be getting one anyway, as this just looks cool (http://www.boxtoy.co/2014/11/lego-bike-shop-cafe-revisited-moc.html?m=1) and I wouldnt mind it next to my restaurant to finish off that end of the block, but I'd prefer it to be just a bike shop and not coffee too so I'll see what I can think up.

[kovert]

Some new Creator sets have made their way onto shelves.

* 31037 Adventure Vehicles
* 31038 Changing Seasons

Still no Blue Power Jet.

New DC and Marvel super hero sets spotted at TRU Bankstown.

[i_amtrunks]

Blacktown Big W had started moving all their lego to the sales area as well as the toy area. Had post it notes up for the sand crawler, no price though.

Also had one of the new red trains for $225. A little outside my budget at he moment.

In he actual toy section the TF section consists of two pegs of RiD deluxes (Drift, Prime) and one peg of legion class RiD figures. No idea where the Devestator packs are going to go, my guess is on he end of a random aisle.

[loophole]

At my Big W tthe sandcrawlers have been and gone already!!

I think that the Helicarrier I got the other week was my Big W's one and only. Not only have they not put another one out, they also took it's spot away and gave it to Lego city stuff. I hope they have more supplies of the big Lego sets coming.

They come 2 to a box, so I doubt they only got 1. My store got 6 in and we are keeping them out the back until the sale starts.

[lee]

So no one will sell for retail before sale starts? Just i won't be here for sale and really want to get the Helicarrier before i fly out this Friday.
Just picked up UCS X-Wing from tru today and got my juices flowing for this piece now.

[Thorns2010]

I can't say for sure what other stores are going to do. As seen in this thread, some Big W stores over East have already put out some of their stock. All I can say is this is the worst managed toy sale in the three years I've been with Big W.

Our store didn't even get to look at the catalogue until yesterday because corporate freaked out about things getting leaked from it.

[Kyalrode]

At Myer northland in Preston vic, most sets almost %25 off Jurassic world and others

[Omega Metro]

Picked up the Sandcrawler today from BigW. No need to fight off everyone else on sale day now.

[ampoldj]

Simpsons series 2 mini figs spotted at my local Big W. Wanted the bartman and so i searched for about 15mins, got one but then one kid drops by and started feeling the figures as well so i asked him what figure is he looking for and said he wants a bartman too, so i gave my find to him and never bought any jn the end. well I will just drop by again tomorrow :D

[philby]

bit late to the party but I don't suppose anyone has seen the lego movie ice cream van and the old bridge/hover cop car sets?

[Defcon]

Spotted at one big W, the new Heavy haul cargo train, priced $229. The Creator sets, Changing seasons, and the blue power jet are appearing at several Big W and Kmart stores.

They are now technically 'retired' sets. However I have spotted the ice cream van set at a couple of Target stores over the past month. You can try Target's online store or eBay shop if online is your preference.

[Fungal Infection]

DC Comics Jokerland set has been spotted at Hobbyco in the city for the awesome price of $180!!! :eek:

If I could only find one from the Myers in my area, it'd be bought on sight at that price.....

I'm new to collecting Lego, the Modular buildings in particular.

I understand that up until December 2014, the Lego Modular Grand Emporium (10211) and Town Hall (10224) were somewhat widely available in stores in Australia.

Is there any chance that someone knows of any smaller retail stores which may still have stock?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

[twincobra]

Your best bet would be lego.com I would presume? You get free shipping plus money back from the VIP reward program.

Edit: Just realised they are long gone from there. :(

Unfortunately prices for those 2 (now retired) sets are rising quickly. You would be extremely lucky to find either of those for under $500 now. Parisian, Petshop, Palace Cinema and Detectives Office are the only ones kinda available still.

[Agent 86]

Thanks Omega Metro.

Yes, that's what I have found. I had hoped that someone might know of a smaller retailer which still had stock on shelves, even if it was a bit above RRP. But, $500+ for a single Modular is well beyond my means.

I'll just have to hope that one day I get lucky with a second-hand/loose set for an affordable price. Or maybe there is a "Dummies Guide to Bricklink" because when I looked on there to figure out how to buy alternate parts to build some of the much older sets (e.g. Fire Brigade and Green Grocer) I had absolutely no idea what I was doing!

[Defcon]

At Target, there is a Lego city set from the Swamp police series. Its got a Hovercraft and some sort of Half track vehicle. Interesting, I'm glad this set has finally been released. Now just to wait for a sale, hopefully.

[Agent 86]

@ Defcon - Target has 20% off all "City" (and Star Wars) Lego as part of their sale which starts on 17/07 online and 22/07 in stores.

If you sign up, you can view their catalogue now.

Ugh not really a sighting but I saw an assortment of those LEGO encyclopedia books in Epping Big W's drop zone last night (the ones with exclusive minifigures packed in) discounted to $10. However every single minifigure was expertly removed from EVERY book. The sheer quantity of these discounted books (about 15 or so) and the lack of damage makes me suspect that this wasn't a result of petty theft but the work of someone working at the store who then has the gall to re-price and flog off these books in the drop zone.

Check the inside covers, at some stores the staff do remove the figures for "security reasons" but there are sometimes slips or stickers inside saying that they are available to be picked up at the Sound and Vision counter.

[davieanix]

Is the Ant Man set out anywhere except the Lego shop online?

[WolfenBaz]

It's not being released at Australian retail apparently.

[davieanix]

Booooo. Thanks dude

[ComicGuy89]

The lack of Ant-Man is a bit of a disappointment. That means it just isn't worth it getting this set without spending a hefty fee.

[kovert]

Is it limited 1 per customer on LEGO online shop? You can try a group buy.

[Dimi194]

Anyone seen the 'Summer' BIONICLE Wave? I know the first wave was almost a month late to appear on shelves :(

The local online stores like Outer Rim (http://www.outerrimtradingco.com.au/content/ort-productlist.asp?name=LEGO-BIONICLE) have yet to have them. I haven't checked stores personally, but Myer seems to have them in the system yet, so I think we'll see them soon. It could be possible we'll get a month delay like the Winter wave.

Spotted that in Big W Wanbro last weekend. Was tempted but the price seems a little high.

If your talking about the bad guy wave I saw them at kmart parra this morning

[i_amtrunks]

Big W in Plumpton was putting out all the mid year releases of city (deep sea subs and space sets) friends and ninjago. Didn't see any licensed sets on he pallets they were unpacking into the much larger lego section but I'm sure they will be there.

Just wish stores would restock the batman sets!

[Dimi194]

Target will usually be the same as TRU which is the online Lego Store RRP.

[Defcon]

Yeah that is what I thought as well, but checked today they have it at $229
I would say Myer has it at $249

[Defcon]

Checked instore at TRU the Deep Sea operations base is $149, I'm not sure but I thought it was $129 on the online store.

Myer, TRU , and Target all have the new season Lego.
Target has the Simpsons Quickie Mart for $329

[Handsprime]

Kwik-e-mart found at toymate baulkham hills for $330

[DELTAprime]

Not sure if this is the right place but that big $250 Lego-like stadium that Big W had last year for the toy sale is now $50. I had one come through my register today and was surprised to see that huge of a box of Lego-like bricks for $50.

[Handsprime]

Lego Town Square found at Kmart Hornsby for $199. Might wait till it's on sale then I'll pick one up.
Always wanted that tram :D

Some of the LEGO Agents stuff has gone half-price online @ Target. I've ordered the 70165 Agents HQ Truck myself. There's a click & collect option so its a pretty good deal.

Kmart still has em kickin around for $99, but that is no $64.

[Mr_K]

Toys r us mount gravatt last night was very disappointing. Not many of the new star wars sets (I'm talking variety not quantity), and none of the contraction sets (which is what I was after). Target has some of the contraction sets online, waiting to see shopforme prices today before ordering.

Kmart as a lot on their site (new large sets), contractions are coming soon there.

Big W had new ones listed online last night at 1am, no pics and couldn't purchase - looks like they've all been removed now.
