lightningtiger Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 $4.95 per minifig RRP? Nope, 4.99 but close you were so close !
DarthSion Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Or you can pay $22.68 from bookdepository.co.uk and get free shipping (that's reasonably quick too). Still rip off, yesterday I ordered some books for my mum, got 2 star wars BM from Amazon UK 17bucks each, plus if you spend 25 pounds or more you get free standard delivery, yes for us Aussies and the Kiwis too. Only stores I know of that ship direct to Aus from the US are: Barnes and Noble (great prices, very cheap shipping, SLOW delivery) Toywiz (good prices, 5% off coupon always available, fast delivery but shipping can be stupidly expensive, I just put items in my cart to see how much the shipping is as it varies a lot e.g. 1 box of 60 minifigs can be only $30 shipping but 1 individual minifig can be $40 shipping!?!?) FatBrainToys (average prices, only really worth it if they have a sale or coupon) If anyone knows of any others I would love to know as well! There is always the option of using a parcel forwarder but from experience I would only recommend this option for really expensive sets when there is a large gap between au and us rrp and for taking advantage of some of the really good sales at stores that dont ship directly to us e.g. Amazon, TRU, Target especially when they have buy two get one free deals. Keep in mind the cost of shipping however can sometimes negate a lot of the savings.... Thanks for the info.
AussieJimbo Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Just picked up the big and little rocket sets from DJ's in Woden (ACT), 20% off until tomorrow (I guess that means including tomorrow). :classic:
Darth Draks Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Myer Melbourne just got stock of series 4, well one box. I bought 9 packets and no doubles which was cool, very hard to pick the codes seems like they have made them indented rather than the bumps. I have a hazmat dude looking at me, he looks worried :) Edited April 6, 2011 by Darth Draks
jonwil Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Lets hope that means I can go to MYER Perth in the next few days and pick some up during 20% off...
Hewman Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Lets hope that means I can go to MYER Perth in the next few days and pick some up during 20% off... From what I can tell from the catalogue it isn't a blanket 20% off all Lego, there are specific sets reduced from 15-25% plus 25% off board games (including lego board games). Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but seeing some sets are on sale at less than 20% off I suspect not everything is on special. However you could just ask them to price match Target's sale. Edit: I just got an email from myer that myer one cardholders get an extra 10% off sale items until Sunday. However, their catalogue is no longer available online, maybe they realised it was a mistake that they listed the castle brickmaster book at $7.95 or there were similar mistakes for even more expensive toys that they don't want to honour.

jonwil Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 However you could just ask them to price match Target's sale. Knowing MYER they wont price match because A.Its a blanket %off sale and not a discount on the specific item and B.Target doesn't have the item in question in stock. I haven't seen any store that will price match unless the the store with the lower price actually has it in stock. Of course, if Target DOES have it in stock (which I doubt because they dont want to sell S4 figs at 20% off when they have shelves overflowing with S3 figs no-one wants :) I will just go there and buy it :)
Darth Draks Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 So the 10% for myer one members is if you show the card not a voucher?
Hewman Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) So the 10% for myer one members is if you show the card not a voucher? Correct, but it's only off the items in the catalogue which is still unavailable even though I saw it earlier today. The new big space set was listed I believe at about 20% off, but besides that I can't remember much else, except the board games at 25% which is a very nice deal after the extra 10%. Jonwil, I wasn't suggesting for a second they'll reduce S4 prices (we both know the proabbility of Target putting them on the shelf during this sale), just more common sets that they might not have on sale but Target will. I've found myer quite accommodating with such requests. Edited April 6, 2011 by hewman
TheDarkness Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Anyone have any idea how long it takes to receive CatchOfTheDay orders?
distortme Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Anyone have any idea how long it takes to receive CatchOfTheDay orders? Took maybe a week and a half for my Venator (SA).
slopemodified Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Anyone interested to get MF series1? I'm interested in getting a few. What do you intend to do?
toytoy Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I'm interested in getting a few. What do you intend to do? Hi, I have sent you a PM..
ang911 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 hi all, i have one, maybe two diagon alleys coming my way within the next week. If anyone in adelaide is interested in taking one off my hands please pm me a price you would be willing to pay. Im happy to drop it off to you if u r in the metro area. Cheers.
Darth Draks Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Target got 6 boxes of minifigs in today just in time for their 20%. Set is almost complete so I'm very happy :) Some of the dots are very hard to spot so needed to feel my way through.

That is mighty tempting but I must resist. Adelaide Myer have 20% off all Lego but I don't think you get the extra 10% unless it's in the catalogue. They had series 3 minifigs available for those interested, but no series 4. Target Adelaide had a few copies of their limited edition police set for those that missed out at the last sale.
distortme Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Ahh that Myer sale is great. The two City Space big kits for $121 and three months interest free when put on the Myer Card. Too simple and gains the Wife Acceptance Factor with that model!
Cadder Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Anyone have any idea how long it takes to receive CatchOfTheDay orders? I got my Portal of Atlantis Today... Thursday, 7th April. I ordered it Friday, 25th March. Which makes it about 9 working days... still within the 7-10 I was quoted at purchase. I'm not complaining about that service, considering it came by regular Aussie Post! Edited April 7, 2011 by Cadder

jonwil Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 No sign of any S4 figs at Target or MYER in Perth CBD. Lets hope one of the Perth Target stores gets stock in before the 20% off sale ends (if they do, I will go there and buy all the ones I still need :)
Darth Draks Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Whats Target Asking for them? after the 20% off? Come to $3.92, had some issues that the barcode wasn't scanning and had to type out the barcode 10 times.
TanTile Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 i just came back from Target where they did have 3 boxes, i went to scan the price and it didn't work so i went to a register to find out how much they where ($3.92)... went back to the LEGO section....... taken OFF THE SHELVES!!! i couldn't believe it! i ask the kid there and he said they where not meant to be out yet, their not in the system yet i was so close to buying some.... back on the hunt...
Anonymous Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 If you have not picked up a Clone Turbo Tank yet with targets 20% off it comes down to $104dollars

That's a bummer, they still let me buy my ten I picked up....but I scored 4 ice hockey players in the mix, fine for a all-in-brawl I guess !
