I Scream Clone Posted June 29, 2008 I can confirm that the UCS MF is in K-Mart; in Newtown they had 4. (I have heard that each store is getting 4.) Stocks of the AT-AT are good there, but if someone here takes mine... I can also confirm that they don't taste particually good... ...nor do they respond to sexual persuasion. Gee man, one little typo. You knew what I meant... Sales Assistant " um sir if you aren't going to purchase that till the sale starts, could you stop rubbing and tasting it, its freaking out the other customers!"

Svelte Posted June 30, 2008 Oh my. With me buying the Death Star I'm a bit maxed out here. After months of no good deals they are all here at once... It's the miracle of layby, Sinner! Plus, you have another 3 weeks before the Target sale starts. Has anyone had confirmation of a Myer sale start date? If the Eiffel is discounted enough I may get that. I am still trying to resist the call of the Millennium Falcon, as realistically I have no room to display it and I should be waiting for CW sets. But seeing these rare sets loose and in the wild sometimes makes the blood boil - as amply demonstrated by Sinner's rabid expression in the previous page Interesting that the January SW sets are advertised as discounted across all the catalogues - maybe they didn't sell too well. I pretty much avoided Anakin's fighter, the Imperial battlepack and the Rogue Shadow as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth_Legois Posted June 30, 2008 Maybe they just had excess stock, as I've seen it everywhere but the Rebel one not so much. Thats why the rebels lose and the Imperials ALWAYS WIN Yea true though i have seen the Imperial one more often then the rebel, i might get the rebel one just so my imperials can shoot someone also i like the rebel torso i could use it for civilians Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

radiant7 Posted July 2, 2008 Wow, most excellent prices on the Agents sets there :D. I expected the Agents sets to command a premium because it was the hot new line, but $100 for the Volcano Base is very cheap, as is the Mobile Command Centre. Myer just put their Toy Sale catalogue online (begins on Friday, July 4th) and the 2006 Cargo Train Deluxe is back in stock!. What a cool suprise, and it's only $160. It's been in my top 5 new must-have sets along with 2007 AT-AT for the last couple of months but I've been putting it off to buy old Lego. They even have the Eiffel Tower, svelte :D At Kmart, I'll be putting 10178 Motorized AT-AT and that cool Hasbro Endor AT-AT in the SW section of the catalogue on layby, then at Myer the 7898 Cargo Train Deluxe. Personally, it's not worth it to me missing out on cheap deals for late 80's/early 90's sets on ebay to instead spend money on brand new sets. As much as I want the new Dwarf & Troll sets at BigW, and the Coastguard sets, they'll be around for the sales closer to Christmas, which can get even crazier than the mid-year sales (25% of Lego IIRC at Myer last Xmas). I can't deny that I'm also interested in the giant town sets, such as Green Grocer, Town Plan, Market Street, etc. that are available at Myer and David Jones. One day they won't be there and I'll probably regret not getting one :( /begin rant Also, am I the only one somewhat dissapointed in the 2007, 2008 and the latest line-up of on Technic sets?. Where have all of the awesome functions of yesteryear gone?. The Off-Roader LOOKS awesome, but it doesn't have a gearbox or pneumatics. At least it's not as lame as those giant Technic Ferrari sets. AFOL's would go absolutely nuts for them if they at least had a gearbox, let alone a linked axles for the engine and interior steering, but they don't even have that despite 1300 pieces!. Why don't Lego see this?. These new linear actuators are just a cheap cop-out replacement for wicked pneumatics IMHO /end rant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svelte Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) thanks for the news, radiant7. hadn't seen the myer stuff yet. $159 is a great price for Town Plan, sadly I already bought one in Jan. Personally I think Cafe Corner and Green Grocer are better sets anyway - the only really good building in Town Plan is the cinema. The Eiffel Tower I'm still not sure of, it's a good price but it still looks kind of blocky. well, i've 99% decided what i'm going to track down tomorrow and friday! good luck to everyone in the scrambles. we should check in over the next few days and see how we went. Sinner will probably be on the news atop a 10179 with that feral grin with the headline 'tasmanian devil rediscovered in suburban K-Mart' ps, yes that is old news Darth_Legois Edited July 2, 2008 by svelte_corps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those AT-ATs are going to move quickly at that price. As much as I'd love to partake in the sales, particularly to grab some of the castle bargains at big W, I really can't justify it seeing I purchased the death star the other day. If Myer or DJ's ever heavily discount the green grocer or cafe corner sets then that's going to be mighty tempting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Svelte Posted July 3, 2008 Toys R Us has a new catalogue just up - they're advertising Peril in Peru for $10 off, $89.99. Too late, TRU! My sale dollars have been allocated! Hope everyone does well today. I got what I wanted and am looking forward to the Myer sale tomorrow. Was a bit disappointing to see one obvious scalper couple piling AT-ATs and Police Stations into their trolley, but at 8am everyone else looked like suburban mums stocking up for Xmas which is as it should be!
