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.

Eh Furious george. Where do you get the 3%? i am thinking priceline or chemist warehouse?

Woolies mate. $4 each.

Thanks Furious_george.

Indominus Rex is gone. Not retired mind you so any things possible.

Rey's Speeder available again at Target's eBay AU store for $20ea. Buy them in quantities of 6 for safest shipping, they should come in the original shipper that way. Also there's a Click and Collect promo that just launched on eBay, too. Spend $150+ and get a $50 voucher, spend $300+ and get a $100 voucher, though it's not applicable to the Target store unfortunately.

Reyes speeder retired?

Pretty sure it's not.

Yes that's the dilemma. Any set you see on there now will eventually turn up here discounted, and make you wonder why you bothered with LEGO LEGO Shop at Home. Even double VIP is only 10% off really and the bus is about to pull into eBay.

The race to the bottom will not be far from then so if you only want the bus, hang on a bit and you will get one for 10 bucks I reckon.

agreed!

Thanks Gaz but seems I may have been a teeny bit pessimistic. Quick search found $37 del min on EBay to date. Bricklink is at $25 but sometimes the postage sellers quote on there can be ridiculous.

Here's a before......

And (almost ) after...

Sorry should mention this is after 3% hydrogen peroxide treatment.

Snowspeeder looks great, did you have it displayed in sun for a time?

I never did myself but I have not owned it since new , so it may have yes.

The treatment is working nicely, that is a cool snowspeeder eh Furious_george!

Hi guys, just regarding the whitening treatment being discussed, from what I've read up on this process while it does work well initially the pieces do revert back to the yellowed colour and with each treatment the time decreases that it takes to go yellow again.

fg, the initial treatment certainly has the snowspeeder looking nice and white.

Will see how it goes. All our sets are displayed in a dark room so if it does start to go again, I'll report it here.

I know now is not the time to use them, but has anyone here cashed in VIP points on the Aus LEGO Shop at Home since the site was re done? Not only am I not able to see my point balance through my account/profile, in all of the orders placed recently I have never seen an option to use my points. Curious if others are able to and if so, when (and where) the ability to use VIP points is showing up through the checkout process.

Signed in correctly? I've noticed the site randomly kicks me out , so maybe check that?

I can see my points and I "tried" using them and they do deduct correctly towards the end, just 1 last step before I confirm the order then I cancelled the transaction.
Probably you need to re sign in and try again? Or call them and unleash on the poor cust service.

CS do their best and a great job but man I struggle to understand them.

For those who missed it, IR is back in stock!!

For shits sake , back AGAIN? 

Looks like John Lewis are no longer delivering to Australia. At least not the larger sets.

Yeh that sucks.

Thanks for the comments about VIP points. Looks like it is to Customer Service I go. Am logged in OK; have tried different browsers; have cleared caches; have used different computers; have tried the phone. Always the same issue. Mind you, I could see points balance on previous site, but could never see my VIP transactions. I suspect there is something screwy with my account that doesn't sit well with the new store.

On a different topic, I saw General Grievous 75112 on clearance at my local Target for $30. Should anyone be interested.
