Kmart doesn't do sales anymore, it's everyday low prices. i got it for $250 and was very impressed with the size and the build.

at $23 each, i'm glad I ordered mine with the ewok village for $16, they will be hard pressed to move them at that price

Ewok Village is listed as now available on S@H, I'll wait till pay day to order mine, it's Tuesday for me

I spotted the City Starter Pack and the Stunt Plane today in DJ's Sydney, haven't seen them anywhere else

Finally some new sets in Myer Sydney, 3 Star wars, the AT-TE, the Spider Droid and the Duel on Geonosis (only 1 of those left since I grabbed one). Also saw the Coast Guard boat and the F1 truck

Picked up 75017 today, finally have seen some of the new sets in store, going to try and pace myself out on this lot

No it's not, he meant go in, buy a second set at the discounted price, then go back later and get a refund for your original receipt purchase at full price. On another note: I haven't seen any of the new sets around all my haunts in NSW so far, hoping my local 2 TRU get them for the sale on the weekend

I went into Target Roselands today to look at the Brickmaster books, hoping for a couple more star wars for myself and friends ones for the nieces, they had one Ninjagogo one that is all.

one small tip for the serious collector legos is not a word, LEGO is the plural of LEGO. ie: I went and bought a heap of Lego this week, all sorts of Lego sets that come with a heap of different Lego bricks and figures other than that, buy what you enjoy and try and stay within budget, the try part is entirely up to you though.

I went up to Roselands Target tonight, was pretty empty and they had a stack of AA on the shelves, grabbed myself one, last purchase for this month after the HH, Myer and Big W spends

Wow, both are awesome, I really like the colour combination of the R5

Managed to get a HH at Bankstown kmart today, had one left on the shelf after me

I received in the mail the Tie Crawler today, It was a bargain on ebay. I was the only bidder, box was a bit banged up but it was sealed, the build was a bit weird and i'm not sure I like it, but the Dark Troopers are a bonus on thier own

Picked up the Town Square and Tree House on Big W, got the Family House from Myer today with a box of switch tracks. Big W when I finally got on was only doing layby on the Family house. I'm not interested in waiting for my Lego. :) Also inquired at Target Roselands for the AA, nothing on shelves and they said will be out with the sale. They did have one R2 on the shelf however. Interesting thing I noticed yesterday at Dymocks in Sydney, they had a lot more Lego in stock and even had the old Red passenger train and the Yellow Cargo train, no sale prices though

Costco at Auburn NSW has a few sets at good prices: Creator 31009 for $28.79, City 60008 for $63.99 and Friends cafe (not many) for $35.49

Battle of Hoth is Toy'R'Us, haven't seen the other two in stores, I got them for my May the 4th purchases

Oh Nice, thanks all for the votes, first build I have done in ages of a MOC, let alone a train. So much skill on this site it's very inspiring to see what can be achieved.

I got my order today, R2, MHC, and the BARC with Sidecar and a Pick-A-brick lot, got my Han and Yoda Poster but looks like Australia misses out on the Chima bonus

$9.99 each to buy the magnets in Australia, yeah, not worth it.

Just had my 8038 The Battle of Endor delivered, Ebay at half what I can find it anywhere in Australia, new in box :)

While this is bad for a bump, I have only just now seen Oky's creation and can't believe no comment has been made on the fact his MOC looks so much better then the one Lego finally released.

Really nice, I love the design an scale, looks awesome

So what to create when you have heaps of Star Wars and a bit of train gear, A LEGO Star Wars Train of course, this is a bit of a work in progress and the effort below I am pretty happy with. The astromech bay was an accident in the design that I wasn't sure how to fill, but came up well, original idea was for an semi exposed engine works. The top turret i think needs some work, but wanted to knock in some defense mechanism as a starter. Side skirts will extend the length of the engine, since there are not may vehicles that use wheels in the SW universe and all rely on gravity drive, it is what I want to convey using the skirts. A few more carriages would also be nice, a detention carriage, and a medical one is current thoughts. The cargo carriage I am thinking of loading up with battle droids as a cross over from clone wars to OT since in no way is this a canon set, more for a playability point for my son.
