ColdBricks Posted September 22, 2013 Hi..for anyone interested I've just listed a 7036 Dwarves Mine on Trademe. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=641836403&ed=true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legoman Posted September 23, 2013 It's worth noting that Warehouse sales compound with their clearances, making some good deals sometimes. I don't suppose anyone has seen the Opera House here yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricktrain Posted September 25, 2013 20% off all Lego at the warehouse till 1-10-13. Picked up a couple of technic sets at Sylvia Park today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllanSmith Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) I think I saw the Sydney opera House at toy world Wellington today Edited September 27, 2013 by AllanSmith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harmacy Posted September 27, 2013 I think I saw the Sydney opera House at toy world Wellington today And judging by the fact that they are starting to pop up on TM, i'd say they have started to appear on shelves around the country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllanSmith Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) it was the architecture set I saw not the Creator set sorry. Edited September 27, 2013 by AllanSmith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted September 28, 2013 It could be that the ones showing up online are from people who acquired one from across the pond in Australia somehow on discount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legonz Posted September 28, 2013 Yes, I was over in Oz recently and picked up a couple while I was there. Managed to claim the tax back on the way out so chucked them up on trademe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fatteh Posted September 30, 2013 Has anyone got any tips for purchasing a 10188 Death Star? Offshore prices are tempting, but shipping and customs charges could make importing it pointless. Is it best to wait for a deal from the local stores? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legonz Posted October 1, 2013 Cheapest way I've found is to find someone going across who can bring it back for you - I could possibly help - PM me if you want to chat about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingo Posted October 2, 2013 That will save you shipping but you'll still have to pay customs on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oddjob Posted October 7, 2013 That will save you shipping but you'll still have to pay customs on it. You can bring in goods up to the value of $700 and they will be tax free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Kram Posted October 11, 2013 I was just in Toyworld Tower Junction and they have a couple of "The Boss" 41999 Crawler in stock. I was all ready to buy one until I noticed that they wanted $500 for it. The girl said the price was set by someone else who I assume to be the manager/owner so I passed on it.

harmacy Posted October 17, 2013 Went into the new Toyworld in Tauranga today. Looked like they were still putting things out, but the store was nicely laid out, bright and easy to move around. Lego collection was pretty standard, but good to see a few of the bigger sets such as the Opera House, Red 5, and Mini Modulars, as well as the Architecture sets. They were having opening specials of 20% off all Lego. Its just great to have a TW back in town! For you other BoP folk, its in the old Post Shop / Paper Plus site at Fraser Cove.

vmln8r Posted October 21, 2013 I've been out of the loop wrt Lego for a while now; can anyone recommend a good place (read price) to get a 10240 X-Wing? Amazon via YouShop seems reasonable (~$235 NZD + shipping). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legoman Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Can't say I've ever used Youshop - would postage be much? Toyworld could be having 20% off this weekend, which would bring it down to $320 up front. Exclusives are usually a bit harder to get at a good discount, at least in the first year. Edited October 23, 2013 by Legoman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fatteh Posted October 22, 2013 I vaguely recall reading something about Amazon not sending Lego to reshippers anymore. Worth a crack though. Let us know if it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legoman Posted October 23, 2013 It seems IQ toys have got some shipments of Lego in and the majority is at about 20% off - including a nice range of exclusives. They have several Modulars, the UCS X-wing, Arkham, and the Sydney Opera house at 20% off. I have reason to believe that toyworld is having 20% off storewide this weekend so think I'll be getting my Opera house there, unless they bump the price up or take it off the shelf, in which case IQ toys it will be! It seems Toyco doesn't include their exclusives in their sales so much anymore so they've lost my business on this one (A real shame they didn't have them in stock when it was 25 or 30% off!). Is anyone here interested in the Architecture range? One of my customers asked me to bring in the Imperial Hotel and I brought in 2 (Planning one for myself) but I'm having a hard time justifying opening it. If anyone is interested (Buying or potentially trade) give me a yell. Still new and sealed. You can't get this one in NZ (Or at least I've never seen it here if it is) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alternator Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the tip offs, unfortunately it was out of luck; my local Toy World was out of 42009, and while they did have an Opera house it was an empty box (I have a rule about not buying items that have been opened even to just store the contents out back; a personal pref). Looks like I'll be holding out for IQToys for the Opera House, and perhaps will get the 42009 from TLG while they have double vip points. (I've bought from IQToys once before and was pretty happy with the experience) Edited October 27, 2013 by Alternator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fatteh Posted October 30, 2013 I have a MISB 9398 for sale for $250 if anyone is interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
