Does our S@H discount on Black Friday? 

i.e. Retiring soon sets?

Never. We used to get end of year discounts but they all but evaporated a couple years ago.

[Artanis I]

Snow Globe is free with $120 purchases on S@H until 10th of December. Although there is also a link for a much anticipated Black Friday weekend promotion, it points to nothing.

Toys R Us has a half price 70137 The Fortrex for $70.  The RRP is $140.  Catalogue here- http://catalogues.toysrus.com.au/catalogue/superb-toys-for-christmas-/14792806205168.html#pageNo=0&offerId=14793657881075

[Artanis I]

Half price before Christmas is a very bad sign

[BrickCurve]

Does S@H discount retiring sets at some point? 

[Brickus]

It doesn't look like it, the only set they have discounted is the Pirate Chess set.

[Artanis I]

Not for us they don't (not usually). Only stuff that just won't move out the door.

Thanks for your response guys. Do they actually keep domestic stock in Australia or does it come from overseas? Their shipment times tend to be long. 

I want to pull the trigger on the Sandcrawler but i am afraid its going to be reduced after Christmas.

[Brickus]

I don't believe stock is kept in Australia, all orders are shipped from Europe, but may change next year when the Chinese Factory is up and running.

 I also doubt that the Sandcrawler will be reduced in the new year, it'll likely sell out first.

[Artanis I]

Our S@H stock is the same as the European countries, once it runs out there, that's it. I also doubt it will be reduced for us, the precedent for UCS sets is that (while we get nothing) USA get a reduced price before retirement, and it disappears VERY quickly, and that tends to be when a set won't sell out (B-Wing for example). Assault On Hoth is probably the likeliest candidate, but that won't be for a while yet.

You're more likely to get it at a reduced price at whichever retailer has it. (Big W? It's probably sold out of course)

[BrickCurve]

There is a 20% off sale on toys at Target's eBay store.  Some good deals, with sets like the Bat Cave going for $320 instead of $400.

[Another Brick In The Wall]

When does the current Target sale finish? 

[Artanis I]

Jestro's Volcano Lair scanned at $128 at Kmart, RRP is $190 (tag said $135). That's pretty darn good heading into Christmas if presents haven't been bought already.

[RonanSai]

Target has 20% off online until 11:59 PM AEDT Tuesday December 13th (Promo Code) LEGO20

The new SW Rogue One 2017 sets should be showing up in stores now. Got the Y-Wing, Battle on Scarif, BP's, and Micro-Fighters.

[Another Brick In The Wall]

Has anybody purchased a used set of Gumtree? I'm not exactly sure how far PayPal buyer protections extend in circumstances of "decription of goods" missing pieces etc. ? 

Edited December 16, 2016 by Another Brick In The Wall

[RonanSai]

Ive only ever purchased off Gumtree Locally "pick up" within 10-20km :D so cant help there :S

[slopemodified]

Anybody pick up some good deals from the Boxing Day sales?

I heard DJs has 20% off LEGO and Myer is doing B1G1 50% off toys

[joeygunns]

Picked up the Spider-man Bridge Battle at Big W for $103!!

If you are holding out on buying this set until it's cheaper, now is the time, get to Big W before their sale ends.

[JasonV]

Jestro's Lair is also $110 which is quite a discount.

[Another Brick In The Wall]

I could have sworn S@H had Double VIP until the Dec 31st but now it seems it's only on selected sets.....am I wrong?

I'd be interested too.

 

Could have far reaching implications for how people shop.
