Legoman Posted January 23, 2010 Just went to Farmers Albany today and saw around 6-7 TIE Defenders! No Lukes speeders though, I was really disapointed! CommanderFox Yeah, I noticed all lukes speeders have dissapeared at my local warehouse too How much were the defenders? I hate the set, but am intrested as to what their price was Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fumoffu Posted January 23, 2010 Yeah, I noticed all lukes speeders have dissapeared at my local warehouse too How much were the defenders? I hate the set, but am intrested as to what their price was I found the Tie Defender at Toyworld Sylvia Park. Its $110 ... the box is big but it sounds quite empty inside so I suspect we're paying for a fair bit of Billund air. Its one set I really want but I can wait for the price to come down. I suspect/hope it being an EU set that it may not be as popular and will be discounted heavily at some stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RileyC Posted January 23, 2010 Yeah $110 is really steep for the TIE defender. It would take a 50% off discount to make me buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legoman Posted January 23, 2010 Yeah $110 is really steep for the TIE defender. It would take a 50% off discount to make me buy it. Even at 50% I wouldn't - simply as I don't like the set - But I'd pick a few up as an investment What do you guys think will be in the 2010 K-mart toysale? My guess is 10198 and 10212 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is 10198 and 10212 Yea I dont like the set but I just love the TIE pilot! I think the tantive will definitely be there but i doubt that the rumoured 10212 will. When is the toy sale usually?

When is the toy sale usually? Early-Mid August I beleive. I think 10212 may be. My guess is that it will be revealed at toyfair, then availible a couple of weeks later (same as the dropship) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RileyC Posted January 24, 2010 Early-Mid August I beleive. I think 10212 may be. My guess is that it will be revealed at toyfair, then availible a couple of weeks later (same as the dropship) Oh right that far away... 10212 will probably be there. I thought it was around April-May. I am probably going to buy the late wave sets from StarWars.com's shop because the prices that cagri posted are really reasonable (yes Legoman is know they wont be the nz prices ). Its $103 for the slave 1 which I would happily pay for. $77 for Grievous' starfighter. $155 for the CTT. I reckon I will save a bit because nz prices have been on the rise for the last few years.

Are you sure? Wow, thats good! If that's correct, we could share postage? I want a Wampa cave, CTT, Slave 1, and possably a Plo Koons Fighter - depending on price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want a Wampa cave, CTT, Slave 1, and possably a Plo Koons Fighter - depending on price It could be possible to share it. Yea I am aiming to buy every set in the wave just because they are all so fantastic! It will probably cut into my 2011 budget but I should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravi Posted January 24, 2010 I want most fo the sw sets too but I am also hoping that they get the technic excavator and that they have another clearance sale like they did this year with endors at $120 and dropships at $180. I also have one question for you guys I recently got 2 CountDooku's Solar Sailers and am going to sell one magna guard. I was searchng expired listing for magna guards and found one where 2 guards sold for $62.45 I am unsure that one magna guard will sell for $30 so could you guys please suggest a price at which I should sell it.

Thats crazy - those guys aren't worth that much! Sheesh. Ah well. IMO they're worth $10-20 Max. I, however, am not a fan of selling anything on TM for under $20 really. Just a waste of my time - so inconvenient By the time you have sucess fees, all the tax and bussiness writeups for flipin IRD, It's not worth the couple of dollars you made Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really mind selling things under $20 and tradme fees are not that much of a problem because I am able to get stamps and envelopes cheap which offset the cost of the fees but I still have a cheap postage rates when compared to some of the big sellers. But yea it does take quite a bit of time but I have got quite a bit of free time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yea it does take quite a bit of time but I have got quite a bit of free time. And I hope you are also paying your tax. The IRD caught up with a relative of mine who was selling on TM and boy it was a hassle and expenisve to resolve. Selling stuff for under $20 must be ok for some because there's plenty of people doing that and I'll like people to sell stuff for under $20 to allow me to get some small pieces or minifigures.

PM a Global Moderator or an Admin with a good reason for getting a name change. I myself don't have that kind of clearance, otherwise everyone would have "Bionicle" in their name.

vmln8r Posted January 24, 2010 Hi everyone. TW Lower Hutt now have most of the '10 sets - don't think anything is worth picking up at the moment. I was also told 10210 should be at TW by June @$300. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RileyC Posted January 24, 2010 Wern't we already told the tri-fighter and swamp speeder are Feb releases? That what it said in the Lego catalogue but someone said they have seen it in a toyworld somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Thomsen Posted January 26, 2010 Has anyone seen 3178 Seaplane? I just can't seem to find it anywhere. Also, the catalogue lists 3222 Helicopter and Limosine as being a store exclusive - anyone know which store this might be? I hope it's not K-Mart because I hate having to trek out to Porirua.
