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.

Good to know - although I am far too small for Amazon to be a viable option

Amazon finally got back to me regarding selling on there. $50 a month in fees just to list on there , plus a cut of between 6 and 15% on every sale. Don’t think it gives me access to a FBA style fulfilment centre so I’d have to pay shipping too. I could be wrong on this point so I have asked for clarification.

Will be interested to hear the outcome on that. As far as I'm aware you're right- though there is talk of them trying to launch an FBA service soon. That said- we've been expecting Amazon for a while, haven't we...

14 bucks for the dragster transporter is pretty darn cheap

Sure is - I scanned one to be sure and then went back for the other two. Only found in 1 of the 5 woollies that I visited. I'm not sure if I even saw this set for sale pre-Xmas.

No if my local Big Dub will just come to party with their pricing of 75142 Encounter on Jakku. Price went back up from $55 to $79 a week before Xmas, and still 10+ sit on the shelves.

I'm just at my local shoppingtown. No thing at Woolies, only polybags.

 

I finally got my Myer glitch sale BB8 click/collect order. Took a while but 82.96 is a very keen price. 

They’re with the Christmas toy stock, which seems to be segregated from their normal toys.

I was hoping for an Assembly Square on the Myer deal, but they weren’t listed

That is an excellent price.

Found a few 41321 friends off roaders at Kmart for $10. Cleared the shelf. Also found a Scuttler at $79 but that price didn’t beat my Myer glitch $75 Scuttlers, so I left it.

Water dragons about gone so grabbed the last 3 of them also. 

Moral of the story : check your local kmarts. They have random stuff and even more random clearances that aren’t advertised. 

Happy New Year guys and I'm back. Have been absent due to a hectic 2017. Anyway, had just had been asked if I want to sell some of the lego, but hesitant to do so as I have heard lego architecture has ceased in production. Is this true? Do you think the value may still go up? I have most of the first series sealed new in box. 

 

Check your set number prices on eBay. If those dollars speak to you , list it up. Sets retired or  not, won’t go up forever.

Thanks. Checking ebay. Just realised there are repro's/a second release of the Guggenheim set. Wow. Fallingwater looking good. 

What is the source Architecture has ceased production? The theme has gone down hill over the last couple years, but I’m still collecting the skylines.
I’ve sold most of my Architecture sets but have a few listed, I may hold out selling in the interim

Think he means the sets he has  have retired.

^ think your on the money there.

Tried to find an online reference, came up with little solid evidence. Will get back to the person to find a source. But I believe that it may only be the skyline series in 2018 architecture range which will continue given some articles, for example. https://www.brothers-brick.com/tag/architecture/ . Anyway, happy to know there may be new harry potter sets released in Nov of 2018 https://brickshow.com/.

And it’s only Shanghai scheduled at this stage. I think this Is the lowest number of sets available in the theme for a few years.
Maybe it needs its own thread [emoji6]

I did visit Myer Melbourne Friday and they had none in stock, not sure if that’s the normal post Christmas (I usually spend them in UK)

I used to buy mine at Myer on boxing day. Last was the Sydney Opera House. It was the most unpopular set, but since many never thought to get it, it's value has incremented at a surprising rate. 

Anyone able to help me out with a 75155 u wing? If you know of stock anywhere or have one to sell , flick me a pm

AAFOL you’re back!

Sorry George, help if I could. I stay a fair distance from SW

No worries mate. Just after the one for my NIB collection before they disappear. After a y wing too. Seen these plenty of times in store , but lately all stock has dried up.

They're down to $90 at Myer online if you're still chasing one. Of course their shipping is a risk in itself, but it's there and cheaper than RRP if that helps!

Myer online for me has none.

Stopped off at the Lego Store at Dreamworld, pleasantly surprised to find:

40262 - Christmas Train Ride selling for $10, (bought 4) and

853345 - Gold Brick Xmas Bauble at $8 (bought 2).

Was expecting the usual prices of $16 and $12.50.

Be driving by again tomorrow and will pick up some more of the xmas trains if available.

Oh to have a LEGO store that’s isn’t a 46 hr drive away.

And good find.
