jonwil Posted January 7, 2012 Good to hear that S6 figs and some of the City sets are starting to appear on the shelves. Hopefully I can find some in the west without needing to wait weeks :) Maybe once I get some S6 figs, it might inspire me to start building again :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted January 7, 2012 I have been told that at least one retailer I have visited today should be receiving all their January re lease stock by the end of the week. Many Target, Kmart and BigW stores only have selected creator and racer sets so far still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alepto Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) A couple of items for kmart. Kmart burwood had racers/small creator stuff, and staff were clearing spaces for new stock. Also, the exclusive bank was reduced to $49 which I do not think has been mentioned here. They had quite a big supply range of the reduced ninjago/pirate stuff . E.g more than 12 earth dragon for $29. Edited January 7, 2012 by alepto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrlegoman Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Went to Westfield Strathpine mall (northside Brisbane)and had the following sucesses: Big W Strathpine has 1 box series 6 in the toy aisle, (priced at $4.79). There are also around 30 Lego cardboard boxes on the shelves unopened, I guess they will be stocking the shelves shortly with the new stock. Target Strathpine has the following 2012 City sets: Car and caravan Ambulance Grabage Truck 4WD Fire Truck Police Chinook helicpoter I bought 1 copy of the fire truck ($29.99) and look forward to assembling tonight. Bought 4 series 6 minifigs, got 2 x werewolf??, 1 x scottish highlander and 1 x mechanic Edited January 8, 2012 by mrlegoman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artanis I Posted January 8, 2012 I bought 1 copy of the fire truck ($29.99) and look forward to assembling tonight. Bought 4 series 6 minifigs, got 2 x werewolf??, 1 x scottish highlander and 1 x mechanic I don't think you did get a scottish highlander, that's series 7 (with bagpipes & kilt)! Probably the celtic warrior or leprechaun. By werewolf, I can only think of the minotaur? Try these pics: Series 6 Series 7 In any case, welcome to Eurobricks!

We should have tried Strathpine, I couldn't find series 6 minifigs at Taigum BigW today (they did have some new racers though) ToysRUs Aspley had nothing new yet.

Brickus Posted January 9, 2012 I just got my series 6 figs from Big W all 16 in under 1/2 hour, Big W Noosa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickton Posted January 9, 2012 Hello All Just to let you know Big W Garden City (QLD) has only 2 packets of series 6 minifigs left :( one of them is the bandit...not sure what the other one is. They did have a couple of Kings Carriage left on the shelf if you are still after them. Big W in the city CBD (QLD) also has some but given I saw at least 1 person pick up a whole set this morning probably not much left there either. Both stores has some of the small creator sets and big gaps on the shelf where I presume they will be putting the new city sets...but not out yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickmamba Posted January 9, 2012 From the 11th to 24th - TRU - 3 collectable minifigs for 10 bucks. So $60 will get you the whole set plus 2 extra's, probably about as cheap as it is going to get this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
distortme Posted January 9, 2012 I just got my series 6 figs from Big W all 16 in under 1/2 hour, Big W Noosa. Any cheat sheets around the place yet or do you have X-ray vision? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickus Posted January 9, 2012 Any cheat sheets around the place yet or do you have X-ray vision? :) Just the regular, feel the bag method, I went back and got another minotaur. It also seems the dots are easier to read this time, I can clearly see them when in the right light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted January 9, 2012 No sign of any Series 6 or City in the west yet. Hit Joondalup, Whitfords, Innaloo and Karrinyup plus Target in Perth CBD. Plenty of places had the various new Creator sets and the new Racers sets. Also spotted the new Build & Rebuild police set and the garage/vehicles set. Lets hope we dont have to wait 3 weeks for the sets to cross the Nullabor as usually happens :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The same sets are appearing in all Targets here, but no city sets ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrlegoman Posted January 9, 2012 Recieved in mailbox yesterday a flyer from Mr Toys Toyworld. It advised that series 6 minifigs and new City police car, forest police station and new police dog truck will be in store from middle of January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Esurient Posted January 10, 2012 Maybe download the instructions for both (easiest to find through brickset) and go through them closely to see what you'd enjoy most. If you could afford both and say didn't like one or the other after building, at those prices you could probably come close to getting your money back even with it being built once. I'm not sure how much info has been published here (and I assume availability can fit under the broad heading of sales), but here are some details of when sets are due out and what are exclusives in the first half of 2012. City - all out in January with the following exceptions: 4438 Robber's Hideout - March (exclusive to someone) 4205 Off Road Command Centre - March (exclusive to someone) 4430 Fire Transporter - March (exclusive to someone) 4206 Recycle Truck - April (exclusive to someone) Friends - March (I couldn't see any shop exclusives) Super Heroes - February (no mention of Joker's Funhouse set) Super Heroes Action Figs - May Ninjago - January except the following: 9455 Fangpyre Mech - March (exclusive to someone) 9457 Fangpyre Wrecking Ball - March (exclusive to someone) 9567 Fang- Suei - April 9561 Kai ZX - April Star Wars - February all sets, shop exclusives listed below: 9494 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor 9495 Gold Leader's Y-Wing Technic - all released April, except 8110 Unimog which is a shop exclusive and no month listed Does anyone know which store will be exclusive to the following sets? 9494 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor 9495 Gold Leader's Y-Wing 6857 The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape 4438 Robber's Hideout 5888 Ocean Interceptor Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
