In-store. Big W appears to be the first to get them in. So check your local.

Australia is roughly 20% cheaper after the exchange rate and that is before any sales. Grumble, grumble

today for Daddees day i got the 3 GotG sets.....Awesome stuff, now just to find Star-Lord that the Sharkticon has run off with!!

Got the three GotG sets a while back, finished making them while watching the Knights and Panthers finish the regular season brilliantly!

Sadly the Middle set is crudtacular, only worth it due to coming with Groot and Rocket, the big Milano set is bulky (too wide for kids to easily swoosh around, but looks alright, the build was nowhere near as interesting as I thought it would be. Only the small set was worth the price (and I got them from Amazon, so about 30% cheaper than AU RRP).

Very disappointing, as the only other lego sets that I have felt were as weak as these were most of the Hobbit sets (only Bag End, Finding the Ring, Mirkwood Army and maybe lake Town sets were decent, the Dol Guldur and Mirkwood spiders were pathetic).

Hoping that the Agents and second wave of movie sets can make up for the overall disappointment of the GotG sets.

Holy starscreams that's expensive. Will be cheaper for you to fly here and pick them up during a sale.

Yep, certainly made me pause on getting locally.
Have to be a minimum of 25% off to get locally and that does not happen often with Lego
