I got an e-mail about a 20% off online sale at DJ for what seemed to be clothing oriented. Had a look at the Lego, and for at least 10218 Pet Shop, the 20% discount was applied. I tried it on the Town Hall (10224), but no discount on that one. No idea about any of other sets, but if there are any ones you want and are harder to get, may be worth sticking them in the cart and seeing what happens.

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

Hey fellow Aussies, I noticed Big W is having an online only clearance with about 30 products on sale. TMNT Shellraiser is $70, save $18 Lord of the Rings Black Gate is $78, save $10 Lord of the Rings Pirate Ship ambush is $118, save $10 Superman Metropolis showdown is $16, save $4 Some city stuff aswell and small savings on some chima and hero factory and Star Wars Desert Skiff for $38! (I picked up a few of these) If your looking for these sets get on it becuase it probs wont be a long sale. Enjoy, Majellan

It was reported that this ends on the 16th. I picked up 6 Unexpected Gathering sets today, as well as the Mirkwood and Riddles sets for my personal collection. Go get some!

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.

dj is selling unimogs in store not online for $165 so 50% off good luck finding one though

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?

Anyone ever bought any Lego off fishpond? If so would appreciate any thoughts on your experience i.e. any damage to box, timing of delivery etc etc Cheers

Hello fellow Aussie BP www.shopforme.com.au They have all 8 of the new star wars 2013 line available for pre-order online for $562.44. Full retail price from Lego.com.au is $750. This is a real saving. These sets are the closest ever to America pricing, which must have been set before falling Australian dollar. I already have this on pre order. Here is the info: LEGO The Star Wars 2013 Collection Pack Includes the following awesome sets: LEGO

Do you Aussies ever try selling any of your sets to the US or other countries on say US Ebay? Have you found any local deals on sets that would make doing so profitable? I found quite a few 9465 Zombies sets recently at a local discount that makes the current US price of $115 plus decently profitable. Have also tried selling a 10187 Beetle. I'm looking forward to the new Brick Classifieds getting up and running as I think it could open up the ease of entry into overseas markets a little.

Hi all, Just came back from ToyWorld (Adelaide City store), where they have a couple of battle packs (9488 Elite clone trooper & commando droid battle pack and 9489 Endor Rebel trooper imperial trooper) for $14.99 each (RRP is $22.99). The store person said they were put out just today with the sale running for a couple of weeks. I'll be buying a few sets, assuming I can convince my wife that this new/old hobby of mine will be at least partially self sustaining! Hope this is helpful! Cheers

Has anyone in Aus bought of Barnes and Noble? What's their shipping like. Been very disappointed with ToysRUs US. Arrived damaged twice. Only consolation was got refund and managed to keep item and being able to sell on ebay as damaged.

As with the last DJ posting, this really only is of value for some of the larger sets that are harder to find no sale down here. It does look to include Town Hall this time, as well as still available for Per Shop modulars. Only available Saturday and Sunday. Online and in store.

Target.com.au has 20% off Lego until tomorrow. No Arkham or R2-D2 on the site, but in case anyone is interested....

Does anyone have any tips to share on the selling of larger sets? I am very over Australia Post and the ridiculous fees they charge. It just cost me $42 to post an Epic Dragon Battle as they refused to class it by weight. I am seriously over them, and just thinking more and more about using custom boxes and a courier company. Surely it cannot be any worse off? I can honestly get sets imported for cheaper than what this rip off crew charge.
