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

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.

Just sort of browsing around the various website. Found out that on the Target website, the big BWE is listed there. No discount yet so it is $399.

And i always thought Big W will carry this big Technic set, look like i was wrong. 20% on this is not that difficult to come by so i will just hold my horses, since i want one eventually.

I have seen the BWE at Big W (in QLD) at a couple of stores, think it was priced at $379.

While everyone's around, one more question.

Are there any rumours/ threads on the next UCS after the Snowspeeder?

got nothing

Interesting. Normally we get rumours of next couple at least.

Could indicate something super secret, BIG and MIllenium Falcon shaped.

has anyone seen this years star wars advent calendar in a B&M store?

Tru has them.

Mr Toys has Star Wars advent calendars too. If your in Melbourne shopforme has them.

Just been to Myer at Sunshine Plaza (Maroochydore) and they had a stack of Slave I's and a Big Ben (amongst heaps of other sets). 

Disney minifigs officially retired. Let's see where sealed box prices go now.

Where did you hear that?

Here at BP. Only reflected on the UK LEGO Shop at Home site as of now I believe

Update: I see its retired on the Australian as well, makes me think there will be another run in North America, and I'm pretty sure I heard that's how it would be, from Someone here a while back

Aussie shop at home says retired product.

Yep, just noticed! Also Bricktober is a thing at TRU. Apparently there's some promo minifigs going out each week on a minimum spend http://www.toysrus.com.au/lego-bricktober

Myers 20% off just puts them at normal price on a lot of sets.

You mean compared to Big W, Kmart and Target?

At least they don't charge over retail on any sets like TRU and Toyworld...bastards!

Yeah, I don't know why toyworld bothers, looked into the doctor strange set, $10 over rrp in qld. What a joke

Wow lame offers for the shop @ home lego australia. The eu folks get 3x vip points with 10% discounts where we only get a storm trooper minifig! this is ridiculous.

 

Is there anything else you willl expect except for a miserable free minifigure with the Rogue Friday? not even a double VIP points for purchasing those new sets. We have it hard over here in Aussie.

It feels like a form of retail racism given just how much we and some other countries miss out on.

why not have global offers for everyone? It must be a complicated task managing so many different website offers for different countries.

its been a long time since i bothered buying anything from LEGO Shop at Home mainly because the promos have been rubbish lately.

I'm giving up on shop at home. Nothing is exclusive anymore, the giveaways are terrible and Target and Big W stock everything eventually and cheaper. Even shop at home is selling the Porsche now, $50 cheaper than LEGO and shipping doesn't take a month. 

Dont get me started on sets that JUST WONT DIE ( looking at you mystery mansion).

Oh and the Sandcrawler is on backorder. Probably means bugger all tho.

Has anyone got any pics of how the new UCS snowspeeder would look like? Also when do the big sets come into shops normally? Like I haven't seen the disney castle, or the big ben or the new beetle anywhere. 

Visualise the original UCS snow speeder in a blinged up box with a shiny gold UCS badge and a mega price tag.

Theres the the new Snowspeeder.

Add a random cheese slope on each wing and voila, $100 price increase!
