lightningtiger Posted March 13, 2013 More details... six to collect, one each week starting Monday, $6 if you Spend $40+ on V-Power fuel or $8 separately It's Great to see that Lego have offered this here in Oz for once. I cant remember a promo like this since being a kid in the 80's, Hope we get more like it! I just had Coles Express confirm that a Lego promo starts next Monday, but that's all they can say right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted March 13, 2013 Good that I can buy them separately since I dont own a car :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Malgus Posted March 13, 2013 will pick these up, odd that they aren't out before the Grand Prix? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted March 13, 2013 I just had Coles Express confirm that a Lego promo starts next Monday, but that's all they can say right now. Yay! I had just assumed that we wouldn't get these in Australia. Nice to see we are! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cant remember a promo like this since being a kid in the 80's, Hope we get more like it! Do you know if Coles Express will also stock the 7th Pit Crew polybag as per: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=75710 This one was sold at a premium in some other countries and was only limited to a few days of sales. Also, great news that it can be bought by itself. I do think Shell/Coles/Lego dropped the ball a little. They should have started the promo a few weeks prior so that it hits the peak/middle of the 6 cars right when F1 begins...this weekend! By the time the action is over, punters might think that the Lego sales are just clearance items since it's past the event! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TanTile Posted March 13, 2013 The Photo I just received only shows the six sets, So I don't think the Pit Crew will be available in-store maybe it will be at the event? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duke of wellington Posted March 13, 2013 I saw these at coles express 4 days ago! for 8AU$, are they worth it? Thought they were a rip-off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrWeevil Posted March 13, 2013 Yes, my reliable family member told me one of the polys he saw has three minifigs in it, so hopefully that'll be that one? He also confirmed all those other details as written above . Also, he was lucky enough to have his photo taken in the car! Which I have to say looked pretty impressive! He thought the car sets weren't very impressive though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shawn_low Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) I saw these at coles express 4 days ago! for 8AU$, are they worth it? Thought they were a rip-off Wah!? Do you have a DeLorean Time Machine we don't know about? The promo starts NEXT Monday. My local Coles Express hasn't got them yet and sales person didn't know much about it. I think $8 is OK. Considering Lego charges $10-15 for a similar size City set in the shops (albeit with 1 minifig), these aren't bad. Collectible Minifigs are $5 a pop and if the pit crew is $8, that's less than 3 collectible minifigs. Edited March 13, 2013 by shawn_low Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OzBen Posted March 13, 2013 Btw have a photo of the F1 if anyone is interested I can post when I get home... Yes please!! MASSIVE F1 fan here On topic, i will be all over these when they hit the servos. I was going to grab the full set off BL but at about $10 a pop plus postage i was hesitant I always fill up with V power at coles express so this will work out rather nicely glad i waited.......

Xyver Posted March 13, 2013 Let's get it straight, ALL orders from LEGO Shop@home come directly from Denmark, not Sydney or anywhere else, just directly from Denmark. If it helps, I ordered the Cinema on the 14th, it wasn't dispatched until the 19th and I received it on the 4th. It also seems odd that you did not receive a tracking number, for the past year all my orders have come with a tracking number. The only thing I can suggest is to call LEGO customer services to help resolve your problem. Just an update - I heard back from S@H, they gave me a tracking number (said it was done manually which is why it wasn't showing up online) and had proof of delivery. I've just called DHL and it would seem the delivery driver is an idiot, he obviously can't locate a building on a corner (or at least didn't think to ask inside for me, its only a single office so not a lot of choices) so took it back to the warehouse. They have been 'trying' to contact the sender for two weeks apparently. I've given them the business name so it should be out either today or tomorrow. The tracking details actually have it originating in Brussels, Belgium, not Denmark. Must be another warehouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artanis I Posted March 14, 2013 Just noticed the Star Wars Visual Dictionary slashed from $32 to $12.79 on S@H. Seems they need to get rid of it..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Malgus Posted March 14, 2013 There's a new dictionary coming out this year hopefully its more upto date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lostdriveway Posted March 14, 2013 Found my way to Toy Corner this morning. Quite impressed with the store and spent plenty of time pondering over individual pieces and spare parts. Got a couple of small things but going to check out Galaxy Toys before deciding on any major purchases. Toy Corner do have 25% off individual mini figures on display for those interested.

DrWeevil Posted March 14, 2013 Yes please!! MASSIVE F1 fan here For OzBen and those who were interested... link to some photos my 'insider' took at the Coles Express Launch...

OzBen Posted March 14, 2013 NIIIIIIIIIICE Thanks DrWeevil that Lego ferarri F1 puts my little 1/8, 1/9 & 1/10 ones to shame back on topic, anyone "on the inside" know if coles express will be selling the display case for the promo cars? I saw some pop up on ebay shortly after the promo started in malaysia but havent seen any again for a fair while now.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrWeevil Posted March 14, 2013 No provs :) Hmm my person works in corporate there so didn't have any idea... My guess would be no, perhaps get chummy with your local CE franchisee/owner/manager! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
