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?
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.Quote:

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!
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.Quote:

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!
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.
@ 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.Quote:

It's not being released at Australian retail apparently.
Booooo. Thanks dude
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.
Is it limited 1 per customer on LEGO online shop? You can try a group buy.
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 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.Quote:

Just wish stores would restock the batman sets!
Ooh thanks! That's a good sign :)Quote:

Myer, TRU , and Target all have the new season Lego.
Target has the Simpsons Quickie Mart for $329
Kwik-e-mart found at toymate baulkham hills for $330
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.
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.
Haha, beat me to it. I missed out on the truck tho. What price was that at? Real shameQuote:

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.
