Also does anyone know what the policy with Aus LEGO Shop at Home's retirement process is? Do we rely on another particular country's stock counts, or is it based on locally held stock? I ask because everything that has been bumping to from retiring soon to retired product seems to be very similar to the EU's at the moment (SOH, Pet Shop, Mystery Mansion, etc)

There are only 2 online warehouses for Lego; Lego US and then Lego everywhere else in the world. So Lego AU should match exactly to every other Lego country site except the US.

New catalogs in my mailbox today. Some highlights: Big W getting more Porsches and GBHQ's, as well as S15 CFM's for $2ea! Some good general deals, too. Target also has 20% off toys and KMart has some sets on sale, too.

Hey mate, so the GBHQ and Porsche are back at 20% off in the coming catalogue? Is the CMF S16 also being discounted to $2?:)

Not the 20%off at this stage- however I'm sure a lay-by wouldn't hurt any chances when one inevitably comes around- hopefully before Christmas! Only S15 was marked in the catalogue at that price.

Helicarrier, GBHQ and Porsche (plus all other Lego!) are 20% off at BigW. Hope you've got you're discounted gift cards stocked up!!

Caterham is sub $100 at tru at the moment

for ages 60+ I guess,  for those who had the chance to watch the TV series.

Whoever it's for, it's not me.

Guys, DJ is having 20% off their LEGO line. I reckon their Ferris wheel (exclusive to DJ) and the yellow sub (unsure about this one) are worth taking a look if you've been waiting to purchase them (normally DJ sale excludes the creator line). 

I just cannot believe it. Received my latest Lego LEGO Shop at Home order in the office just now. Been a long wait. Have a look at the "free" snow globe and to my horror the side of the box have been cut by what seems like a box cutter. 1 straught line.. The cut is deep and i can poke a ruler through into the content. Not Happy, tomorrow Lego CS is going to listen to me rant. What you guys think? will i get another free globe in time for Xmas or they demand i send it back to them or VIP points...the sets is like $60 out there.

They will ask for a photo, then express you a replacement mate. Stick the stuffed one in that box , stick on the return label they will give you and send it back. I've got expressed replacements in 4 days.

No dramas.

Really sorry to hear that, Ted. I hope that they would still have it.

What are the duty rates/allowances for Australian customs please? Will duty be based on what I paid for the sets or Australian RRP? I ask as I have a friend who works for Qantas cargo and he has the opportunity twice a year to ship 100KG of personal effects (eg. LEGO collection!) from LHR to SYD and I'm thinking of sending him the rarest and most expensive sets in Oz ;-)

Juat stick the bad one in any box right? 4 days will be good as Xmas is nearing soon and office will be closed for the holiday period.

Thanks Kurnitb, hope they will do right by me. Thanks for the tip Furious_george, i only ever return one item so far and that is a faulty IR receiver but didn't remember the replacement one arriving that fast...i think that time took a week and a half.

Are you wanting this to build or sell? To sell just knock $5 off the lowest price and advertise it as damaged and it will sell straight away.

I won't be selling this one but neither do i want to build it yet. You can say i am stuck but i am just pissed that we get this kind of treatment from Lego LEGO Shop at Home. Not only do we have to wait a long time for it to be delivered but have to pay a higher so called price as well and now this? don't get me wrong, their boxes normally arrived quite prestint. i guess this is just a one off.
