wesker Posted January 11, 2017 Just a heads up - the A-Wing, Phantom, Landspeeder and Desert Skiff will NOT be coming to Australian stores. Only Yoda's Interceptor and Duel on Naboo will be released at retail this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mind waiting at all but it is not good if they don't even get released Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickus Posted January 11, 2017 They will, but just not the Phantom, as that's a Rebels set, and Rebels sets have been shown not to come here at all, the others will be store exclusives later in the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonanSai Posted January 12, 2017 SIgh i want the new Phantom and the A-wing >< That last A-wing rebels set never came here :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted January 13, 2017 If you want the Batman CMFs, grab em when you see em, they seem to be disappearing fast. For those in Brisbane, Mr Toys Indooropilly has the most stock left of any store I have visited recently. Although there is also some left at Mr Toys Loganholme (or was when I was there) The "new for January" sets are also appearing in stores (so far I have seen Moana, Friends, City and Nexo Knights in various places around Brisbane. Oh and I saw the Sydney Skyline set at a few Mr Toys stores. Oh and MYER has a 20% off sale this weekend (excludes Minifigures though). Good opportunity to pick up the new stuff (City, Friends, Nexo, Star Wars, whatever) on discount. Also I have seen Big Ben, Brick Bank, Detective's Office, Porsche, Caterham and Slave 1 at various MYER stores in my travels so it might be worth looking there if you are after any of those.

I feel like your statement becomes baseless then. Its an un substantiated claim without qualification. If your concerned about taking something from a public forum and reposting it on another social media page perhaps saying nothing is best. It is basically 'clickbait'. Perhaps its best if you say 'big chain' or small independent store, something more substantial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't take a tone, I offered an opinion that your original post was rather pointless. If you find a tone in my post apologies, if I get a notification of a reply that says plainly 'I'm not going to say how I know that this is occuring' your original statement becomes baseless as there is no burden of proof. It becomes a waste to tag/reply to say nothing at all, there was no value being added. Effectively you are asking us to believe you out of pure convenience. I offered some constructive suggestions at the end. I was not trying to offend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slopemodified Posted January 18, 2017 Umm okay... Not to digress too much, but isn't this whole topic filled with semi-unsubstantiated claims? I trust that what people say is on sale, is genuine and true. Often the info isn't backed up either. Anyway, today I saw at Myer they have $15 off for every $75 purchase. No dates or specifics given on how long the promo lasts. I was trying to get more Batman minifigs (with the aid of gift card), but was surprised to see that 3 boxes had sold out since the weekend! I did not expect them to sell out so fast at $5.95 each. So I went to Kmart instead, who had plenty of them for $5. Is this how much your Kmart sells them for?

Myer offer ends 29/1, and excludes minifigs. Most semi-unsubstantiated claims in here give useful information. Unlike "an unnamed retailer is struggling to sell large sets outside of sales, so they will be selling less Lego in future, won't tell who though" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonwil Posted January 26, 2017 Got to go to an AFOL special preview of the Dreamworld LEGO store last night and it is great. Spent $30 on a large PaB cup and $20 on 3x minifigs (head/torso/legs/headgear/accessory) Grand opening set for Saturday will be http://brickset.com/sets/40145-1/LEGO-Brand-Retail-Store and you need to spend $200 to get one. Quite a few things there that you cant get anywhere else (if $20 for that mini London Bus from last year floats your boat, they have that :) not to mention all the things that are otherwise only available as retail exclusives (GHBQ anyone? VW Beetle? Disney Castle? Winter Train Set? Tanker Truck Takedown? Doctor Strange's Sanctum? Batman: Rescue from Ra's al Ghul?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonwil Posted January 27, 2017 Maybe someone going to the LEGO store tomorrow can ask the staff whether the Rebels sets will or wont be in the store and see what they say. That or someone with contacts (local Ambassador maybe) could contact LEGO and ask at the top why the Rebels sets dont get sold in Australia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
