I'll keep everything in here so that there won't be too many stuff scattered around the forum

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.

So visiting in-laws over Christmas. Visit local Myer who still had The Old Fishing Store 21310 for sale (at 25% off!), also had a heap of architecture sets that will finish up plus the Chinese sets from last year that sold out. Unfortunately vehicle space was very limited so I went home to think about how to ‘tetris’ a few boxes in the car for the 10 hour trip home a few days later.  

Went to the local Big W for some batteries and ended up with this instead. Side of box has a tear but all seals attached and looks good to me. Bought for half price. Next time I visit inlaws I’m taking a bigger vehicle.

Have you contacted the buyer to say that you are sorry, but that you might have messed up the order, & ask if they can please confirm if they end up receiving the wrong item.

If you put someone in a position where they would need to state a lie about it (rather than just being able to say nothing), they will be more likely to be truthful about it.

You were right mate. Contacted both parties and eventually worked out for them to ship to each other. They only live 2 suburbs apart which was why I stuffed it up in the first place. Only cost me $50 in partial refunds so no dramas.

All ends well. Honesty prevailed!! My hope in mankind rekindled!!

I’m surprised, maybe I’m just too cynical

Kogan are a strange , unreachable entity. The sets will sell and I will never buy from them again.

Icic...I heard from a friend that they will honour Aussie warranty but of course.. made you jump through many hoops.

I don’t doubt they will make it difficult , so I’m not going to bother.

I would assume that the same would apply to sets bought from Dickie Smith.

Same stock and prices. They must be affilated.

Yep. They are the same thing. 

Kogan bought out the **** Smith label.

First time I've seen it. Maybe I need to open my eyes a bit.  ?

Check gumtree. Someone will be suffering buyers remorse.

I have some small Nexo Knights Battle Suit Lego sets, and I am wondering if they are worth much on here, or to just try and sell them on Facebook.

Look up their value on eBay and see if it’s even worth the trouble.

No dramas. Your Bugatti is at David Jones right now pretty cheap.

10269 Creator Harley is available now too for $120.

Sorry , Bugatti seems to be gone now.

No, it says 25% of the Bugatti, so thats $450.

Pretty good.
