Anyone know when exactly did this dropzone thingy started and will end? And one more thing will they bring out something new each day? meaning if i did not see a sea cow or cargo train today, maybe tomorrow will bring put 1?

If you don't see them on the shelf, ask at layby or entertainment counters if there are any out the back

Sent from my SM-G900I using Brickpicker mobile app

A lot of the big W stores near me keep the big Lego sets displayed behind the layby counter. So many bargains so little cash :-( managed to get:

2 x sea cow @ $220ea

2 x ISD @$100ea

1xATAT @$90

4 x MECantina @$70ea

I had to restrain myself.....

Local Big W has been picked clean, trying to get mum to grab me another sea cow but she doesn't sense the urgency and told me she'll go tomorrow. Goddamn it Mum!

thanks for all the advices. i will drop by another 2 big w after work to see if i can catch something....will ask at layby this time to see if any are hiding at the back.

I've got the day off work today, so I headed down to my local Big W in the morning. A day too late really, as I've been quite busy with the day job.

 

Looks like they have brought in a bunch of new stock. Shelves were full but only a handful of sets heavily marked down. Woman at the store says the dropzone sale has been going for a week now and all of the big ticket clearance stuff is gone.

 

I just picked up a few 75049s for 35 each, and a discounted Duplo set for a friend's daughter's birthday.

Just came back from the Post Office to send a couple of loads off and ducked by the local stingy Big W (the one that didn't have anything reduced yesterday) and noticed that they had put all their stickers up and changed the prices.

 

Grabbed 3 Techno Pick-up Trucks for $70ea (RRP $130), had a couple of Spiderman Helicopters for $45 but as much as I love spidey I left them there (probably pick them up for $20 max).

 

Didn't see Cargo/Sea Cow but may call them in the morning and see

O.K what planet have I been on, I have been in and out of my BIG W store and there was no mention of a sale, I saw nothing of interest. Hell, If there was a Sea Cow I would have seen it from a mile. I  cant believe this. I will call the main office tomorrow to pin point who has one in Melbourne. I hope no one gets in my path, especially now that I am sleep deprived because of the many assignments.

Going for my 2nd & 3rd Sea Cow tomorrow

 

or 

 

Hopefully (fingers crossed) 2nd Cargo Train & 2nd Sea Cow.

Pretty sure Melbourne Big W's are wiped out, got the missus to go to a few and only thing she found was the arctic truck for $35 any leads in Melb ?

I have been to South Yarra, Box Hill, Forest Hill, Southland and Highpoint over the last two and a bit days and didn't find anything except some Star Wars stuff (Snowspeeders, Cantina)

 

Needless to say some of the finds in other states are making me pretty envious

Finally scored after visiting my 4th Big W.... Got 1 sea cow and 1 cargo plane and also an artic truck. Still thinking hard on the Ghost....at 70 bucks.

Lucifersfury which state are you from? You seems to get quite a bit from this Big W sale. I am from WA perth metro....

Mum went back and was able to grab the last Sea Cow (box was smashed and torn) after a bit of humming and haring the lady offered to change the boxes over to a minty fresh one that was on display (empty box). Only downside is the box now has it's seals cut with the lovely BIG W tape (Oh well, I'll build myself if I have to).

 

Also grabbed another $70 Pickup Truck.

Couldn't help myself, just went down to the local again and picked up 2 more Technic Pick-up Trucks and 1x Duplo Cindy Castle (for niece).

 

So stash so far:

 

2x Sea Cows

6x Technic Pickups

2x Duplo Mickey Books

2x Duplo Jake Pirates

2x Duplo Cindy Castles.

gheez that quite a bit of a catch.

Amazon UK currently has Bennys Spaceship for about AU$100 shipped. Not as good as Big W price but still very good, they should make you some money come Christmas time.

I did ok myself but wow was it hard trying to find stores with stock

 

2x Sea Cows ($220 each)

1x Mindstorms ($250)

2x Milano Spaceship ($70 each)

8x Light Repair Truck ($9 each)

2x B-Wing ($45 each)

5x Battle for Ninjago City ($90 each)

1x Imperial Star Destroyer ($100)

2x Ultra Agents HQ ($60 each)

9x Tie Interceptor Microfighters ($10 each)

4x Millenium Falcon Microfighters ($10 each)

1x Chima Mammoth ($70)

 

Could not find Cargo Trains or Benny's SSS anywhere.

Some stores were completely cleaned out of the bigger bargains.

 

I'm kinda scared to add it all up but the savings were huge.

Also grabbed another $70 Pickup Truck.

I saw a shop with at least 10 of these @ $70

 

I've sorta stayed away from Technic.

Great deal if you missed the BigW sale

 

Ended up being $96.20 aud each (including delivery) if you ordered the maximum of 3.

 

Hopefully Amazon.co.uk package well and nothing gets damaged in transit.

 

Anyone had any experience with Amazon.co.uk care to share their experiences?

50/50 chance with damage from Amazon.uk I have found. It's a straight into a bigger box affair with no extra protection. Cargo train was recently delivered and was fine as the outer box was just marginally bigger.

Technic is good if you know what to grab, Pickup was a 2014 release, so depending on stock levels maybe a longer hold, but at 50% RRP that's fine.

Dropzone still in effect. No new or bigger sets at my local. Picked up some more snowspeeders. They had heaps on Wed, but only a few left there today.

Now need to get some half price AT-ATs for battle of hoth double packs to sell when the ep7 hype reaches fever pitch.
