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.

I got that one as well in my email, good timing as I have a bunch of listings finishing in 2 days time.

Managed to pick up 2 Taj Mahals, one to keep/build and one to part out on Bricklink.  Can't see this being a good long term hoarder.

What’s the T&Cs? I love these promos, so other people can undercut us who have to pay for fees

Oh man, I've missed out on the $250 Taj Mahal, LOL.

Is this a new thing? I don't recall seeing it before.

I haven't seen it before, something to keep an eye out for.

This one may also be a concern to quick flippers of popular products:

Basically the 30 top selling Lego products - the buyer clicks on the red ticket to go to the lowest priced item available.

Top Products: Building Toys

 

Best Price Guarantee

If you find it cheaper elsewhere, we'll beat it. Look out for the Best Price Guarantee logo for eligible products.

Trying hard to compete with Amazon by the looks of it.

There are a heap of LEGO lines, so I would be more concerned if it was 600

Has anyone had experience selling at the Toy and Hobby Fairs run by "Australia's Premier Collectables Show"?

Thinking of getting a stall at the next one in Brisbane in November. But only have experience as a buyer at these shows.

Any tips or pitfalls to watch out for would be appreciated.

Do a cost break even analysis before signing up. I’m guessing it would be $$$$$$$$$ to get a stall regardless of the size.

Yep the cost of a stall with a standard table (waiting to find out the size) is $45, and have to stay the whole day. Seems straightforward, I don't want to overlook something obvious.

Should be fine, look into if they get a cut. What would you be selling?

Larger BNIB sets - Scooby Mansion, Palace Cinema, Deep Sea Exploration Vessel type sets.

1st wave speed champions cars.

80's and 90's used sets.

Polybags

Hotwheels, 2014 - 2015 SW Black series, Buck Rogers Starfighters large and small, etc

Nice

As a comparison I seen prices that to set up a table is $20 to $30 a table at a local toy fair which only goes for half a day. So your $45 a table for a whole day is roughly on the mark? A standard table seems to be like 1.8m long by 0.9m.

The end of Toys R Us in Australia draws near as it approach the closing hours...the end of an era.

Popped into the TRU at Aspley (QLD) on the weekend. Lego was discounted by 35% off RRP - still quite a lot of Lego City, Elves, Friends, Brickheadz, CMF's, Ninjago, Creator and SH on the shelve. The discount is bringing the prices down to Big W / Kmart levels.

I purchased the last 21035 Guggenheim $65 and 70612 Green Mech Dragon $59.

Any JW left?

about 20 - 30 of the smaller sets:

Pteranodon Chase

Carnotaurus Gyrosphere Escape

Velociraptor Chase

T. Rex Transport

Didn't see any Lockwood Estate sets

Most of thoss sets can be picked up 40% easy

Haven't seen the latest JW movie and the sets seem to be a wee bit overpriced.

Last JW world film was pretty much a one drop scenario. This time it looks like Lego pulled their finger out and allocated significantly more stock, and probably over-produced. Not too good for resellers. 

Still one drop as far as I’m aware. It was the same this early in the last wave also.

I think their attention will be diverted to HP, with JW fading away

I like the look of Grindelwald's Escape and the Hogwarts Express.

Still hoping to see Ant Man Quantum Realm Explorers at Myer/ DJ's
