Darth Malgus Posted May 30, 2013 I imagine that they will be out in a few weeks time like last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted May 30, 2013 Someone in another forum reported that a MYER in Sydney was reported as having the Kingdoms Joust, Horizon Express and also the Mini Modulars in stock. Didn't expect the Mini Modulars to make it to Oz. Will be interesting to see what exclusives the other retailers get this year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cammy Posted May 30, 2013 I hope I don't upset too many people by posting about not-LEGO, but I was at Target today and they had the Kre-o Optimus Prime (the large one 542 piece set) reduced to clear for $20! They also had Mega Bloks Warcraft sets reduced, including the 299 piece Demolisher Attack (which comes with a nice tower and a catapult/siege-tank thing) for $15! I'm really hoping the Kre-o Battleship will also go down to $20 eventually too, it looks like a nice ship to build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now on topic, I know for a fact that Toy Corner has the mini modular set in stock as of oh, say three days ago. Plus we can also guess that in the next three weeks Kmart, etc., will start decking out their shelves for the mid-year madness. EDIT - Lego.com has just listed 60026 Town Square for $ 129.99 (not too bad price wise in my opinion)......I'm going back to see if anything else is up yet.

jonwil Posted May 30, 2013 Yeah that's not a bad price. Lets hope that whoever gets the set locally doesn't add a markup on top. Checked on a couple of the other sets I wanted and managed to pull up a page for the Grand Prix Truck at $39.99 (not that bad given that it has 3 figures, a large truck AND a Grand Prix Racecar) Couldn't find any pages for the cargo sets although some of the Coast Guard sets seem to be in the database (I dont care for those so I didn't dig too deep) Creator sets are up too, tree-house is listed at $49.99, family house at $99.99 (a good sale should be able to bring both sets somewhere near the US RRP) LOTR is there with the pirate ship costing $139.99 and the elves council costing a somewhat over-priced $59,99. Its going to be hard to decide what sets to buy this year (although a local release of the Haunted House would be quite high on the list, especially if it had a discount to make the price more reasonable) Also, anyone in Perth this weekend should check out the WA Brick Society annual train layout at the Claremont Showgrounds, really looking forward to it this year (its my biggest contribution to date) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 30, 2013 Also the heliplane is only 59,99, stunt plane 19.99, cargo truck 39.99.....which in comparison with the grand prix truck sounds a bit of a rip off ? I'm trying to dig up more, but you have to hunt each one on their own as there is no show on the actual listings page at S@H....odd, maybe tomorrow being the first of June eh ?

Artanis I Posted May 31, 2013 20% off toys at Myer for the stocktake sale preview on Tuesday. Starts 5:30pm for most, but all day for WA & Tas. Should be some new stock in time for it? Lone Ranger at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Malgus Posted May 31, 2013 Lone Rangers have been at Myers in Melbourne for a week , I got them at Target with 20% off. I like the sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrettBrick Posted May 31, 2013 Myer has buy 2 get 1 free until Sunday. That's 33% off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynx Posted May 31, 2013 I imagine that they will be out in a few weeks time like last year. I got them (LotR sets) late May last year. Someone in another forum reported that a MYER in Sydney was reported as having the Kingdoms Joust, Horizon Express and also the Mini Modulars in stock. Didn't expect the Mini Modulars to make it to Oz. I saw the Mini Modulars in Meyer Macquarie Park today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howie28 Posted May 31, 2013 That sounds like a good release date for the LOTR sets, but last year, weren't they a "winter" (our summer) release? This year's wave is a summer (our winter) release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MicroM Posted May 31, 2013 Not sure if anyone is still bothering with fishpond.coma but they've got a nice little scam going with Superman kits. Their site has 76002 listed with the image to 76003. I saw this the other day and jumped at it given its listed at $30 or so. Now I realise they will be mailing out 76002 and not 76003 - I looked at the image and not the kit number and description. Not sure I'l have any recourse - so might as well cancel the order. Can't believe I fell for this with these scumbags !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Blockbeard Posted May 31, 2013 Seems it isn't a one off... Thor is the Hulk??? SCAMMERS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howie28 Posted May 31, 2013 Well, in other news, the new SW and LOTR are on S@H. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howie28 Posted May 31, 2013 Also, does Target still have 20% off Lego? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDarkness Posted June 1, 2013 Did the Mini Modulars have the VIP only logo on the box? It is interesting that it has been released, unless they are trying to clear out stock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MinifigHQ Posted June 1, 2013 Any Kmart workers able to confirm that Kmart is no longer having a Midyear Toysale? Or is it just a rumour ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howie28 Posted June 1, 2013 Well, where did you hear that information? I would assume that they would still have one. (I do work there, but I'm just a casual) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MinifigHQ Posted June 1, 2013 Well, where did you hear that information? I would assume that they would still have one. (I do work there, but I'm just a casual) From 2 reps that frequent kmarts, but not Kmart management hence the question. Time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Blockbeard Posted June 1, 2013 From 2 reps that frequent kmarts, but not Kmart management hence the question. Time will tell. Perhaps the reps brands are not involved in the mid year toy sale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynx Posted June 1, 2013 Well, in other news, the new SW and LOTR are on S@H. Thanks! I've never ordered there. Does anybody know how long the shipping usually takes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
