Lego Sightings

[Slag]

Saw a new Hoth base at TRU in Morley today and Palpatines Arrest. not sure if they were on sale but Jabba's palace (150something) and most of the Star Wars sets were.
I picked up the skiff for 39, the Grevious ship was tempting too

was checking the net last night and was on MR. TOYS TOYWORLD and found that the death star will be released in October this year, but at a staggering $700. looked on eBay and found a S/H one for $400.

The Mr Toys catalogue in the mail today has this on the front page ($699 mid-October). It's the Ep4 Death Star (10188) about 2/3 down this page.
Probably cheaper elsewhere, but this is an option for the desperate.

I saw Pre-Visla's Mandalorian Fighter, indeed at Kmart as said, but price was $89

At K-Mart for $69. I was going to jump but resisted. Better options out there from Mega Bloks.

So has anyone seen the actual prices of either Pre Vizsla's Starfighter or Palpatine's Arrest? I have a gut feeling they're so far over RRP that 20% off will barely bring it to RRP and eBay will still be the best option. Unfortunately, they're seemingly TRU USA exclusives too.

Palpatine's is $150!

Also, they had two other exclusives from the Halo Mega Bloks line too. Both were priced at $80 for only 400+ pieces. Comparable sets go for $40-$55 normally. I think the gouging might also be on TRU's behalf, not just Lego.

I saw an empty box rolling around Highpoint TRU today. Pretty sure they must have had it out as a promo as lots of kids were gawking at it. Probably a mass release.

A very very long shot, but has anyone seen the Emerald Night lego train set in any Myer stores of late?

Uni was eating my money when it was released, and missed out.

Nope. I went to two relatively obscure Myers which stock well. Didn't see any.

Also, confirming I saw the Death Star at TRU yesterday. Both places had them in the games section in a glass cabinet. You'll probably have to ask to get it.

Thanks STL. I think I have one lined up locally via gumtree, but the seller isn't the best communicator!

Got my order from Barnes and Noble, the first half arrived at the end of October, the last half yesterday. First box was maculate, the second looked like it had gone through hell (it had shipped via Sweden from the US, been opened but the inner contents were okay).

Other than the time it took for the second part to arrive pretty happy. Would like to know why the second box went via Sweden though!

Target Knox has a Lego Star Wars R2D2 for $199. Haven't seen this one in a bricks and mortar store before!

[Krayt]

it was the big ticket lego item from the mid year toy sale at target this year.... He looks good made up!

[Demonac]

I think TRU have a 20% off LEGO Star Wars stuff...so it would be a good time to be foolish and buy a Death Star

Yep! Got mine online for about $240 after missing it at the sale. Great model!
