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.Quote:

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)?
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:
Myer Parra
Emmet's Constructomech $89.95
Benny's Spaceship $149.95
Dropship $119
You can get a rechargeable battery. They work fine, but you need to get an AUS style power cable or a US-AUS adaptor.Quote:

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
Target Joondalup have all new Star Wars sets except for Star Destroyer and MTT.
All new Ninja Turtle sets as well.
TRU have the new non-movie Turtles sets. Shredder's Lair Rescue scanned up as $90. Couldn't see the Turtle Sub though :(
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.Quote:

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

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

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:Quote:

Compared to the official version:

There are noticeable differences, but for the price tag, I'm happy to overlook them :)
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.
There were a couple at Big W in Doncaster. Perhaps give them a call to hold?Quote:

Has anyone seen the new sandcrawler (75059) set yet?
Are they cheaper at BIG-W?!!Quote:

Its an outrage!!:mad::eek:
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
They are cheaper at Big W.Quote:
