Would anyone pay this amount for a Star Wars lego?

I have one of those sealed and I was going to sell it at Nexus but I think I might have a go on ebay.
Very nice on the Space Police set. Love that helmet. All these nw outlandish designs will certainly keep my wallet empty upon release. although I do wish they make another "robot" themed line like Exo-Force.
i just found the NEW CLONEWARS LEGO in KMART!!!!!!!!!
That's the Northcote one for you melbournians
Just saw this in the USA.... hopefully not too far away for Oz.

Old lego stock generally appreciates in value but Star Wars and Harry Potter lego are a veritable gold mine.Quote:

Definitly after the police ones. Let me know if you can get them. Thanks. Also let me know the cost of the fire station if you can get that too.
K-Mart has 15% off new Lego sets this week.
I'm quite interested in that $10 buck Creator plane/shuttle. Very cool looking and I have a soft spot for jets. Might be 1st Lego acquisition in awhile :eek:
I had forgotten about that. I could swear I posted something about it ages ago too.Quote:

For Leigeprime specifically:

After seeing this, along with Cafe Corner and Green Grocer, I'm tempted to branch out into city - but that would set a dangerously expensive precedent....
That is very dangerous... many years worth of City to go back too. :eek: Don't do it, Fungal!Quote:

I really want to get my hands on that. I'm not sure if I should order it or wait to see if David Jones gets it in. It would be great for the other 2 I haveQuote:

Ill post pics of the construction of the cafe - once Ive decided to start on it ;)Quote:

Well I put them both on Layby at the same time and just paid for them over them 2 months.Quote:

Very nice sets. They have a real 'collector' feel to them

They made a scale model of their town using Lego, but i think they mispronounced it to avoid legal stuff
There is one in the Lego Acquisitions threadQuote:

Thanks ice! Time to get some of the new Construction stuff. Hopefully new set lines come out as well. Power Miners and Space Police.Quote:

Couple of prices to note to see if how AU compares:
Big Pirate Ship US$99
Indy Wing and Gas Truck US$49
Darth Vader Tie Fighter US$29 (has some sort of special/limited edition badge too)
10th Anniversary repaint.(first one is black and blue)Quote:

Really? Awesome! 20% off will put that at A$40, which is cheaper than US$30.Quote:

I did see it also at Toyworld where it was $46 (so cheaper than K-Mart outside of the regular K-Mart sales).
awesome 20% off at Kmart thanks for the heads up :D
I'm hoping to pick it up tomorrow. Looks very niceQuote:

I was going to confirm this but wanted to makes sure I was right first since I'd already thrown out my catalogue on trash night but the sale is actually 15% only. Saw it today when I dropped by K-Mart to grab my weekly dosage of Thins, Pringles, Skittles and Gobstoppers. The 20% is for other items like Bob the Builder and Dora.Quote:

Does anyone know why Lego Batman sets are so extortionately priced??? Looking at the price of sets on ebay and bricklink, set 7884 (Batman's Buggy: Escape of Mr Freeze) goes for $50 and upwards - why??? Its the smallest set in the range and was released just last year!! Then there's the Batmobile (no cheaper than $150 US), the Batcave for $200 and up and so on. Are they rare or is demand just significantly higher than supply?
I think that is whyQuote:
