I'll keep everything in here so that there won't be too many stuff scattered around the forum 04/10/2013 DJ Architecture, VW van, Grand Emporium, Pet Shop, Fire Brigade, Sydney Opera House just arrived <<< I'm waiting for their next sales to get one of these set Toy-R-Us VW just arrived, but all gone. They said more stock will come in 1-2 week time. Big W They're clearing out the shelf of many city sets right now. The shelf was almost empty. Might see something new soon Target Batman Arkham Asylum & R2D2 were there. Probably about 6 each.

Hello all Australian Lego enthusiasts I have posted a few times in the Australia only forum, yet feedback has been low. Just wondering how many of us Aussies are out there and what state people are in. The more people we know the more aware we can be of our specific sales, considering the dropping dollar. I myself am in WA. Anyone else??

Mayer has 20% off all lego online. Includes tower bridge and kingdoms joust if anyone is interested

Sadly there weren't any at my local store, just the sign

Hey Everyone in AUS Now that Bricks Down under is basically gone (since end of last year), I was just wondering if anyone else knows of any local forums to discuss local sales, bargains etc? As this is a global site I am not sure how many aussies visit this part of the forum, I only recently discovered it. Plus what do you use to sell used or MISB sets on? I use Ebay and gumtree, any others? Please let me know

Harry Potter Diagon Alley 10217 36% or $100 off at Target's online store

Thought I'll start a new thread to discuss buying from overseas. As I get most of my stock, sets locally, the only experience I have buying overseas are for polybags from brick link and they have been all good so far. I know some of the more senior Aussie brickpicker have experience buying overseas. Care to share? Thanks.

25% off lego at TRU, unfortunately the SSD is out of stock!

Fellow Brickers, All legos at Target are now 20% off. Both online and in stores. Not sure when it will end BUT...... I hope this paves way from the pre Christmas / Christmas sales which should have more discounts. http://shop.target.com.au/toys/construction-toys

Hello Australian brickpicker fans Just wondering if everyone is up to date on what the toy sales have to offer this year. Kmart - a joke with no real toy sale to speak of. Toy World - do not waste your time BigW - Not a bad selection with a few select items on sale below RRP (LOTR and Iron man) Target - A nice selection of some exclusive sets namely R2D2, police station and 20% off all lego Toys R Us - Good selection but most sets are retail prices of just below. Myer - Some fantastic sets and hard to find ones at that below RRP, ie Horizon Express, Sopwith Camel, Volkswagen T1 Camper van and Mini modular sets to name a few plus 20% off retail pri…

Just wondering whether they have ever had any sales for lego like 20% off? Normally I see only Myer, DJ, and Target. Anybody know or have come across one?

Not a deal, but just a shout-out to fellow Brickpickers in Australia, especially VIC and NSW, to be on the lookout for these Lego thieves. Seems like a well organized and smart bunch that are only targeting Lego, and are hitting the independent toy shops like Toy World. For the Lego experts (whom most of you are) - probably shouldn't be too difficult to spot the 'signs'....hopefully they get shut down soon - Lego theft on a large scale with obvious intent to sell, and hitting the smaller businesses does not sit well with me at all. http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/stacks-stolen-as-lego-heists-top-30k-and-span-two-states-20140603-39fd4.html

I am starting to sell off some of my Lego. I have a 4641 Lego City Speedboat and a 60002 Lego City Firetruck, both in excellent condition. Please reply if you are interested, and then I will tell you the prices.? Here are some pictures:

Hi everyone, I just have a question which I hope fellow aussies might be able to provide some insight. Whenever there is a new Ideas set that come out on LEGO Shop at Home, does it always appear on the shelves of Australia retailers such as Myer, DJ, TRU and toyworld etc a few months later? Reason I am asking is that I don't like the price of the new BBT set on LEGO Shop at Home but yet not sure whether it will appear in shops here. I don't remember seeing the Birds Ideas set in store, and of course the RI is very much short live in existence. Ecto 1 is still around and so on. We all know what happened to Exo suits mania. Even if it come in, the BBT set might not last …

** THIS IS FOR MEMBERS IN AUSTRALIA ** Hi Guys, Just letting you all know that that Target are running 25% off all Lego on-line, and 3 sets for price of 2 in-store. Offer runs 'till 29th of Jan. Picked up 4 Batman & Bane tumbler sets and last 2 Spiderman Daily Bugle sets at my local. (6 sets in total) But only paid for 4. Averaged out at $46 each. Get in quick everyone. Thinking about going back tomorrow to pick up some larger Star Wars sets! Good luck

TRU is having 20% sales on all creator sets. The VW just arrived in the store and it's $130+ after discount. But it's not on thier website which i think they'll update it soon.

Has anyone ever bought lego directly from their official website? I want to ask some few questions about it. For example, the price at checkout says 199 + free shipping. Will there be any tax or other costs once it's delivered? Will it really be $199? Also for the double point, it can be redeemed only at the next purchase right? I'm it is, then many sets are pretty attractive since some are cheaper or not available here.

shopforme appears to have an upcoming sale today starting at 11am with new deals every hour, might be worth checking out

Was just online at DJs looking for something for the missus, an clicked over to Lego (not all about her! ) and see they appear to have 20% off sale. Probably nothing great, but not sure if the stores are also having it, and if maybe they'll have some gems available. Will be checking my local out this afternoon

Hi I'm just hoping for some advice. I bought 9 Advent calendars from O/S from a supplier who has previously packaged really well. For some reason this time, the 9 boxes were sent seperately in packaging that was insufficient. I've made a claim through PayPal who have said a full refund will be forthcoming but of course I need to send them all back. I don't have an issue with this except it is going to cost me $100 which isn't part of the refund. So now I am wondering whether I send them back and write off my $100, or whether there is much market for pulling the advent calendars apart and selling off the items inside. I just don't know if there is a market for this …

Pretty sure most of the Aussie members here would have already put in orders for this month's Crown Jewels of Lego LEGO Shop at Home - the Delorean and the 4x4 crawler, not sure how everyone's orders are tracking / processing / (dare I say) shipping etc, my experience so far has been....interesting. I'll start from the latest development. Just got an email today - "Your Lego order has been shipped!". Could it be? Could it really be that they've shipped 1 of my 2 orders, which are supposed to be on backorder? Heart pounding, hopes rising. Scrolling further down, I realized who was on his way - the brave little Galaxy Squad Orange Team member Jack Fireblade, and his t…

Hey Guys, So I have the ability to pickup x5 captain america avenging cycle's for $35 each, I'm looking for a good quick flip and I've seen recent listings go for around $40-65 AUD on Ebay. Anyway tell me what you think, cause I'm really not sure due to the new captain america set coming which may drive prices down. Thanks

Was just at a Target store (Australia), and they had 79010 / Goblin King Battle for $83.20 (or thereabouts). Looks to have been marked down to $104, and then the 20% sale they have now applied to that price. Seems like a reasonable deal off RRP, but not sure how well this set is doing and therefore if this is a good deal or not. Thoughts?

shop for me has the superman battle of smallville for $45 which sound like a nice deal. i don't have any superheroes sets so i'm tempted

Just saw this at my local Myer, apparently it started on 30th Oct and will end on Sunday 3rd November. Buy any 2 toys and get the 2nd toy at 60% discount. (So that would work out to be 30% discount each assumining that you bought 2 similar price toys) 2nd toy of course will have to be equal or cheaper than the other toy. As a point of reference, i saw the TB at AUD$399 so if i get 2 TB it will cost me AUD $399 for one and the other for AUD$159.60. Divide equally each TB cost only $279.30. Happy shopping! :D
