Brickton

Yes I got the Myer message as well...and my B&N Uruk Hai army sets have yet to be delivered...but I did get my Weathertop.

Hello All I think this may have been mentioned already but thought people would like to know BigW (Carindale, Brisbane, QLD) has put out a whole stack of the Alien Conquest sets for what I guess is clearance prices...which work out the same as US base price: 7051 Tripod Invader $20 7052 UFO Abduction $30 7067 Jet-Copter Encounter $40 They also had the 7050 Alien Defender but I did not catch the price.

Hey Brickie Nice work...I was particularly impressed with the way you have given the impression of movement from the exploding wall of Helm's Deep to the collapsing rock walls in Moria. I also like the use of space and getting so much into such a small area without over-crowding.

Just wanted to say a bit thanks for the Myer One voucher...most Myer One members I know never received it and staff informed me this afternoon that it only went to "select" customers...whatever that means. Unfortunately it largely came too late for me and most of my Lego group members...but really appreciate it being made available.

I am a Myer One cardholder and received nothing in the email about a 10% off voucher. Furthermore, I asked about it at the counter this morning and was told there was no such offer...I also checked with another staff member I know and they informed me to their knowedge there was no 10% off offer as well. If anyone has been granted such a discount then good luck to them.

Well, I just got back from Myer Carindale (Brisbane QLD) and they had....nothing...no LOTR, no Camper van and no new Star Wars either. Furthermore, my contact informed me it is very unlikely there will be a Myer One discount as part of the June toy catalogue....so it looks like it will be this time next year before QLD lego nutters get the same level of discounts as others have enjoyed in the last few weeks.

Hello All I checked in with Myer Brisbane CBD and they tell me (again!)...that they have no LOTR stock, and even if it turned up it would NOT be on sale for the preview sale tomorrow night. They were adament that it would be out for the stocktake sale catalog on the 21st and not before. It seem very unfair that Myer stores in VIC, and NSW already have the stock out and have been puttin it on the shelves but here in QLD it is still NOT even available. I called Myer customer service and they had no eplanation and only said I could always ring those stores who have it on sale and have them send via post. Of course good luck with getting someone to answer the phone let alone put a sale through during the preview sale. Sooooo frustrating.

Hello All Just did a ring around Brisbane stores (e.g. City, Chermside, Carindale) and again no luck with LOTR sets...nothing on the shelf, nothing out the back (from what they tell me) and nothing in sight....!!! Once again QLD Lego fanatics will just have to wait until we actually get it up here Looks like the 21st June Catalogue will be our first bite of the cherry. It is VERY frustrating that we seem to be missing out again....particularly given it looks like 20% off now is actually less than the June Catalogue price.

Greetings Mitgardians and Citizens of Historica, Last summer we came up with a solution to four problems. Firstly, how to discourage pesky interlopers from arriving unannounced? Secondly, what can we have for entertainment to help the mead go down after a long harvest and the odd bit of raiding. Thirdly, what to do with some of the passengers we acquired from previously mentioned raiding. Lastly, what is the answer to the eternal question debated around the hearth for many years...can man fly? The solution, once we came up with it, was so obvious we just had to share it with fellow Mitgardians...Can Man Fly? In the end the answer was a disappointing, no! Any suggested improvements, or other perrenial questions we can help with, please let us know. Regards Ingvar Arngeir Dragonkin

Hello All I do not want to rain on the parade...however, I went into Myer Brisbane City this morning and they confirmed they are having a 3-2 deal this weekend...but they also stated LOTR sets will not be part of it. They did confirm LOTR sets will be in the Toy catalogue coming out in June, presumably with the 20% off sale, and they did say they are also getting the Camper Van although they could not recall exactly how much it would be. In regards to LOTR sets they said Lego had made it clear none were to be put out before the June catlogue...so am now confused as someone has said they are already in store in Adelaide???? Anyone have any further info?

Pjchilds...just to let you know I have seen the XXL box at K-Mart in the past and even picked up a box at a discounted price once...and yes it is a good box for basic building parts.

Hello All...just called TRU Garden City (Brisbane) and they told me yes they do have series 7 minifigs (just came in apparently) but they are NOT part of the current 2 for 1 offer. Can anyone else confirm they have purchased series 7 minifgs at TRU under the special offer in the current catalogue????

Hello All, I have finally got the pictures loaded correctly. Thanks for the advice and help from others to get it right (you know who you are).

Hey Brickie, Thanks for including some extra shots...yes I think the clock really added a nice extra bit of detail. I have also finally fixed the picture situation...thanks all for your patience and advice.

Hey Phred, Thanks for that it is appreciated.
