Brickus Posted January 1, 2014 Wasn't sure where to post this. Have people received their Lego club magazine yet? I haven't got mine and they normally come in december. Thanks I received mine a week before Christmas, did you receive a letter earlier in the year, asking you to renew your subscription? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brickie Posted January 1, 2014 I believe that last year, LEGO Aust changed the timing for sending out the LEGO Club magazine. The next issue should be out this month. The surprise of Santa in the mail was a bonus; well appreciated by the kids. Thanks LEGO Aust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks My son got his before Christmas.....it's a smaller magazine with a bonus creator Santa set, you better call customer service in Sydney and ask them what happened to it.

Concept Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Thanks for this, I picked up a Haunted House from Kmart today. :) Also go the Swamp creature and The Mummy whilst I was there even though they were not on sale. Edit quote did not work? TeufelHund said: "I saw the Haunted House on sale for $189 at a couple of K-marts in Queensland while on holiday. I was tempted given mum had given me a $100 Coles-Myer voucher useable at Kmart for Xmas ("for a nice shirt" she said), but decided against it in the end due to the difficulty of fitting it in my luggage and getting it home safely (plus I still have Orthanc to build).

Whup Posted January 4, 2014 I just walked past the local Myer and there was a $10 off for every $50 spent offer. They seemed to have most of the new city sets in stock for anyone who wants to pick them up for less than RRP. Also, if anyone is interested in the Aragorn, Mouth of Sauron or Gandalf the White figures from the Black Gate LotR set let me know. I haven't bought any big sets in ages and would love an excuse to buy two of the Black Gates and join them together... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragonau Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the info. That Ninjago temple is one I was hoping K-mart would clearance after Christmas like they did with the big temple before which I was lucky enough to snag for half RRP. Like you I think I'll wait a little longer to see if it drops further. Not sure if 70505 Temple of Light will get to 50% like the other one... but presently the temple is around 60% at $59 at Kmart. Picked up one today just in case they sell out. Back on topic, the cheapest LEGO around here is what you find on clearance in the big stores. Many of BrisBricks members had a field day back in June when a Kmart manager decided to get rid of a lot of LEGO. As with all Kmarts at the time, there were a number of sets on clearance at about 20% off. On the Saturday, this friendly manager then reduced these sets to half the discount price. The word soon spread amongst BrisBricks members via phone and email. I picked up some collectable minifigs for $1.50 each plus other great bargains. Has anyone seen any Kmart do this after Christmas? Please let us know if something like this pops up. Edited January 5, 2014 by dragonau Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightningtiger Posted January 8, 2014 Whats the best deal on the new City Octan race car set? The $15 price K-Mart and Big W have it for? Same as at Target.....15 bucks. I have been told that the other half of the city range will at the end of the month.......rumour is supply issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Used to be that BIG W in particular would sell sets of all sizes at a discount off RRP as their regular shelf price. Wonder what happened to that... Seems like the best option is to wait for a %off at MYER or Target. Or just buy it anyway and screw the extra couple $ :P Edited January 8, 2014 by jonwil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragonau Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Noticed DJ in Garden City has some discontinued sets, including 9469 Gandalf Arrives (1 box). Big W still has the LoTR sets at a discount. Picked up 79007 Black Gate for $58 (still 5 boxes left at GC), and the last 79005 The Wizard Battle for $12. They also have many 79006 The Council of Elrond for $34. Also picked up Pirate Ambush for $88 from another Big W. Picked up the Friends City Park Cafe for $19 at Kmart---had to hunt around for this set as most Kmarts around Brisbane have sold out now (most were at $29)-- this set is now also sold out on AU shop.lego and is retired in UK, US and Canada. Have a look in your local Kmart and let us know what they have. Sunnybank Kmart had the Creative Tower (1600 pcs) at $60 on Sunday, but today it was back to $79 :( You may still have luck at your local kmart ). Picked up a 60003 Fire Emergency at $29. They also have the 60010 Fire Helicopter at $29 Edited January 9, 2014 by dragonau Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
