If you're on Amazon, DO NOT order from My Worldwide Market.

I placed two orders. One yesterday night and one today morning and the first was cancelled. Seller said that their shipping calculator was borked. I was told by the seller I would be refunded and Amazon's stock email said that I wasn't charged.

Both claims were bollocks. I was charged for both orders totalling $1.4k according to my bank and now I have to wait for a refund or release of funds. Amazon's customer service said it could take anywhere up to the 19th for that to happen. Of course, my CC statement is slated to arrive on the 18th. HAH.

Anybody in Melbourne want to split an order from the WB Shop?

I could be interested, but I'm thinking I might wait and see for a bit to see if they list some of the other sets as well, for if they do and they're at US retaion, I might pick up a couple.  They've put up all the LoTR ones, but I don't know what the timeline was for them adding those sets to the store to then predict what will happen with the Hobbit sets... Actually you could add in some of the new DC sets to that list too...

Still kicking myself that I ummed and aahed too long when this set was 25% off at Amazon UK :-/

Actually, I have some WB coupon codes that knock the price down a little (about 10%) :-)

US RRP is lower than UK RRP and all the LOTR and Hobbit stuff will end up being fairly cheap considering the lower US RRP and weaker dollar strength vs the Sterling. It might be as cheap, if not cheaper than 25% off at Amazon UK. Shipping is a flat US$20 no matter how many sets. Very tempting!

Agree! If they put up some of the others I'll buy from there! If you do want to do a pooled order at some stage, drop me a PM. I've done group buys with a couple of Melb folks before...

Hi!
I'm looking for a regular supplier of sealed, brand new sets of LEGO. Could you recommend me any shop with reasonable, but competitive prices? Europe is particulary welcomed :)

* except the Barrel set of course. I just realised despite waiting for this availability I don't have anything left to buy!

I placed an order with TRU (US) a month ago, 2.5 weeks postage time. The packaging inside the oversized boxes wasn't very protective, but all sets' boxes were in fair to good condition, a couple of creases but nothing disappointing. I wouldn't recommend for resellers (can't guarantee the quality), but for yourself/family or a gift I would.

Was about to share some pics but just realised I haven't uploaded them...

Think we missed the boat on WB Shop already. Their $20 shipping must have been costing them profits so WB NO LONGER SHIPS to Australia. :-(

I had all the Hobbit sets sitting in my cart waiting for a group deal to eventuate. Oh well...

Hi everyone, I know this thread has been quiet for a while now and that most of you are aware of the amazon comparison site that is great for getting a quick overview of current deals. There are a range of great deals at the moment, particularly on amazon.co.uk for star wars sets.
