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.

Good price, I’ll do some research and let you know.

If there’s one theme that won’t move on eBay ( for me ) , it’s StarWars. 

Something interesting coming to Myer:

eBay are floundering since Amazon’s arrival, I wonder why Myer, a company that couldn’t sort out stock issues on their website, would try and challenge them [emoji849]

Quick look and it seems you need an ABN to sell on there.

I personally think eBay will go down the ABN path soon, they’re pushing out Mum and dad sellers for big chains

We might even see Myer pull out of rnau

Can’t see it myself. Too much money to be made off randoms selling their junk , with hardly any effort from eBay themselves.

I think we have stay aware of changes by eBay. 

I'm keeping an eye out on the "authorised lego reseller" badge. This doesn't appear to be a search filter yet.

eBay plus is now a search filter, so if you don't met that criteria, and noob buyer selects the filter...

 

Here you go - if you don't have the "authorised Lego reseller" badge, your buyers can't use this code:

"To get your 10% discount enter the code LOVEIT at checkout.

The sale runs until Sunday September 2nd. The only exclusion likely to be relevant is that Target is not included.

View the LEGO eBay store here."

That code is also targeted. I know I didn’t get it but that’s no surprise.

I didn’t get the code either, I believe it is an offer to eBay plus members.

Found a full box of Harry figs at Woolies. Had a smoosh , realised I didn’t have any idea what I was looking for and gave up. 

On another note,  LEGO Shop at Home times to wa back to 9 days for my last order.

I’m a plus member, didn’t get it either.

Compared to amazon prime, eBay plus is a pale comparison. Only signed up for the free google mini lok

Just noticed on LEGO Shop at Home.au the UCS Snowspeeder 75144 is marked as "retiring soon." It only came out just over 12 months ago (May17).  So if you want one maybe sooner rather than later?

After reading a number of FaceBook posts this morning about changes to the Lego.com.au website.

Overall this is pretty good - the free shipping on orders over $149 isn't working properly at the moment. But that shipping time of 3 - 5 days will be great for exclusives, assuming they have enough stock.

They had a few polybags listed for sale  - which i'll have to keep an eye on.

 

Even under $149 , postage is only $12 now. Also express is $30.

Nice!

Didnt see shipping times of 3 days  but did see items will be shipped within 3 days (of purchase).

Which polys

Yeh , I see none.

There was the new Milano poly, a crappy Ninjago car, a friends flower pot thing, and an xtra bike pack. There not easy to find

I see them , but they don’t seem to be on sale? 

On another note , the LEGO Shop at Home site is glitching (amazing I know). Had free shipping , added a polybag and shipping went to $40.

Has anyone had any luck sending an order to a hotel? Heading to the states next month and would love to have a few orders dropped off at my hotel/air bnb. What do you reckon are the chances?

If you've got a valid address I don't see why not. But you'd want to be there when it arrives or give the concierge a heads up.

I was hoping to send a couple prior to my arrival. I have a couple of mates over there but I think it would be too troublesome to meet up with them for pick up with our tight schedule.

Planning on swinging by LEGOLAND in Florida as well, see how I go

LEGO Shop at Home au has some items in the "sale" section of the website again. Only about 10% discount, so you can find sets cheaper elsewhere but now we're going to have a warehouse over here do you think they'll finally have things for sale other than keyrings and pencils a bit more often?
