Perhaps the Hogwarts Castle in minifigure scale would be too large (and expensive!) for fans.
The set is A$649.99 RRP! :eek:
Tell them they're dreaming!Quote:

Still haven't bought anything from TRU since the closing down sale started. Wondering if I should grab one of these disgusting Heavy Scout Walkers for $40 (RRP was $100 IIRC) from TRU Bankstown just for the sake of it: https://shop.lego.com/en-AU/First-Or...t-Walker-75177
Only if you like half finished, barely working trickery of Star Wars vehicles that never appeared in the movies with figures that make no sense, other than to spread out he named characters across the wave.Quote:

Yep, they got me there. Pretty much the only reason I want that set is for Hux. I skipped out on Kylo Ren's Shuttle & the First Order Transporter when they were cheap, and now eBay prices are absolutely repugnant.Quote:

Anyone have (or can point me to a comparison) of the recent Lego X-Wings (Poe’s 75120 and Luke’s 75218)?
I have the TIE Fighter (75211) on my shelf and think it needs a companion. Luke’s makes sense as a pair, but I like Poe more.

There's also this video but full disclosure I haven't actually watched it.
I have Poes and the older skywalker x wing. I know that there are a number of differences esecially in the back and the mechanism to open the wings. I really like Poes xwing so I never bothered with the new sky Walker one.Quote:

Goodluck, Lego on sale is rare enough, unless they are the rubbish sets (the rathtar escape or half an imperial (first order) Walker sets.Quote:

Does anyone have any idea how long it will take for 2019 sets to show up at retail? I'm after the Speed Champions sets for 2019.
According to the Autobub's now very worn out 2019 catalogue, the Speed sets are due out in March.Quote:

Wait... there's a Senna set?!
*runs off to google*
ZOMG.
Now to find some Marlboro decals to fit...
Are the Overwatch sets meant to be a wide release or a shop exclusive?
I believe they may be an amazon au exclusive...Quote:

How good does that new Mustang look?
My son has already said he wants it for his birthday and is willing to put some money towards it.
sometimes people sell custom sets with lego blocks or also sell or give away instructions onlineQuote:

What's the Lego catalogue say about retail availability of the Technic Porsche 911 RSR?
https://shop.lego.com/en-AU/product/...-911-RSR-42096
Technic Porsche 911 RSR appears be available at Big W. It is listed at the online-only price of $186.75 (25% off) right now. :eek:
It is that price until midnight or sold out.
It's part of a Big W (online only) 25% off all toys until 20 March 2019 23:59:59.
Ok well, thanks. Unfortunately, it's not in stock at the Big W I work at and haven't gotten it yet at all and I can't get it delivered.
Seems none of the Brisbane metro stores have it in stock. Probably weren't many in stock to begin with. :confused:
But Amazon AU now has it for $186.75 with FREE delivery. :)
Ok, thanks. I might wait and see if any instore deals come up for the Porsche RSR. We should be getting stock in at some point since it is on order. But I did buy some Speed Champions Lego from Amazon. At $16.50 each, the Speed Champion cars are cheaper than I'll probably ever see them at work even with 10% staff discount.
I have purchased like 8 Benny space friends sets to army build classic spacemen. I grew up with these in my childhood. I’m hoping to be able to use them in the upcoming LEGO city space theme. It would be really exciting if LEGO released a surprise classic spaceman set to coincide with this. I want more space minifigures in different colours , green, black, red, orange, grey, brown, purple!
Anyone going to the Brick Show in Penrith this weekend? I went last year and my son loved it so I’ll take him again.
