Callum Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Hey all. Have had a few PMs asking for what I am looking for. Heres a short list. Message me to let me know what you have and what you want for them! Also looking for Castle figures of most genres. Cheers! Edited May 12, 2011 by Callum
AoNZ Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Hi guys. Has anyone else been emailed the TW catalogue? On the back upside down are some 'All I Want' Coupons for 20%, 25%, 30% and 50% but I can't read the small print at the bottom of them so was wondering if anyone has managed to do so and what terms there are to use these coupons. Thanks.

Thanks. Cheers or the heads up! I just looked it up 50% off any one Item under $30 30% off any one Item 25% off any one Item 20% off any one Item Far out, Need to use that 50% off one for something, that's too good to pass up!

The small print says valid only from the 20th to 23rd. Nothing else. Will have to go in next weekend.
k_r_brown Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 when are we going to get cars 2 and potc sets here in NZ anyone know?
Legoman Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 when are we going to get cars 2 and potc sets here in NZ anyone know? Not sure about Cars 2, But I think POTC is already here?

Wow that is a deal! I thought it would just be on certain items or something. Now I'm just trying to think of a good buy for the 50% off one instead of wasting it on one collectable mini-figure which is all I can think of at the moment

Grrr Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 when are we going to get cars 2 and potc sets here in NZ anyone know? PoTC is definately here - both at Warehouse and Toyworld. Haven't seen any Cars yet though.
Legoman Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 From my understanding, only POTC sets from the original movies are 'allowed' to be released. But I have been doing stocktake at the warehouse (Oh joy ) and they do have a pile of lego out the back with 'Do not touch - Wait for release on XX/XX/XX' Which I'm guessing was the new POTC stuff. I'm still not sure what to get with the 50% off voucher - This years BP's are 'meh' to me. I'm looking at the smallest POTC set (good value at $10.00!) but I'd rather make the most of the coupon (get something at $29.99 ) Guess we'll see hat they've got
Alex-in-Nelson Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Just for everyone's convenience and so we are not all stuck holding our desktop screens upside down to read the print --->non upside down pic! CF Thank You! Good promo. Now, what's a good under-30 bucks item to use the 50% voucher for? Road plates?
RileyC Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Good promo. Now, what's a good under-30 bucks item to use the 50% voucher for? Yeah I've been struggling with this too. POTC are cool but I'm not obsessed with them. I have been eyeing up those blue base plates to put minifigs on instead of the green ones I have already. But they're not entirely useful for much else. What's everyone else getting with it? I'm probably going to use the 30% off to buy the v wing at $35. Which pretty good I think. Edited May 14, 2011 by Roncanator
AllanSmith Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 when are we going to get cars 2 and potc sets here in NZ anyone know? My LEGO distribution list states MAY as the month for the release of the Cars sets

The date for release was the 24th of April on those boxes. Lego Embargoes are based at the Distribution center, so the store wont get the set until it can be sold (Generally). All POTC sets are available at the Warehouse and Toyworld (London Escape is at the Warehouse and Whitecap Bay at Toyworld, unsure if they are exclusives to those stores or not) as for what Ill be getting.... I think I might grab some grey baseplates!

I was thinking of doing that if i can get down to a toyworld aswell. Ah! Thats a good idea, I might grab a couple of XL Grey Baseplates.

I think i'll be doing that aswell, need 4 preferably, I wonder if i can get 50% off 2. CF

I've had some success with the gray plates on trademe - though I got some really early 50x50 stud ones (dating from the '60s), which aren't quite the same quality as the new ones. I'm guessing brand new ones are bley and not oldgray? - maybe I should continue buying second hand...

Legoman Posted May 16, 2011 Author Posted May 16, 2011 No, the new ones are still the old grey. Errr.. Are you sure? Old grey is an OOP colour, nothing is made in that colour any more. New baseplates are definately New Light Bluish Grey Nothing has been made in Old grey for years
harmacy Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Hey all, has anyone received their S@H order from the 'May the Fourth' promotion yet? I'm just checking some of the othe forums, and many folks around the world have recieved their items. I know the advertised time is '13 business day's, but from experience, this isn't too accurate. I really want my Maersk train!!!!!

I really want my Maersk train!!!!! Nope, still waiting too. I ordered a charger for 8878, which I finally ended up buying from this excellent Bricklink store ($110 incl. fully insured delivery) in the US - which makes Lego charging $150 kind of ridiculous.
ColdBricks Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Anyone in Chch get into Warehouse South City - 40% off all toys then they bumped it up to 60%. Also Kmart have the giant Minifig Head Lego Sorters at $58... They've been around for awhile but this seems an ok'ish sort of a price. I know I should've waited but you never know how many they have so I caved and got one.

I haven't been able to get out there yet and I'm starting to wonder if all the good stuff has gone. Would have been some steals there initially though!
