I Scream Clone Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks, ScreamBob ClonePants! ROFL, absolute gold there D! Now I wish that was my login name No new TRU catalogue yet, and nothing on lasoo.com.au. This is probably a good thing for the wallet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hewman Posted March 25, 2009 The new star wars lego book with bonus exclusive Luke minifig due for release in September is available at a discount price of around $15 US on amazon.com. Good news is they ship to Aus and it was about $10 US for standard shipping (about 3 to 4 weeks). So all up about $40 AU which isn't a bad buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whittleberry Posted March 25, 2009 That Star Wars book looks interesting...can't wait! Anyway, I've visited the the Moore LEGO Education Centre in Melbourne, and it's basically like a physical mini-S@H, minus the bigger exclusive sets. You can find a lot of LEGO merchandise there (brick ice-trays, keyrings etc.). It's worth checking out if you're in Melbourne! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDarkness Posted March 25, 2009 I will probably be ordering a few copies of the book, so I am happy to add more to my order if people want copies and to reduce the postage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Svelte Posted March 25, 2009 Well, I got my issue of Lego Club magazine today, which answered the question of what happened to 7751 Ahsoka's Jedi Starfighter - it's a Toyworld exclusive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarthSion Posted March 25, 2009 Do we even still have toyworld, all the ones i know of closed down, and haven't seen a leaflet in months. Speaking of Leaflets, Target and BigW have no sales this week, don't know about Kmart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siegfried Posted March 25, 2009 Do we even still have toyworld, all the ones i know of closed down, and haven't seen a leaflet in months. There's one left in Hobart. It's rather lame though... Well, I got my issue of Lego Club magazine today, which answered the question of what happened to 7751 Ahsoka's Jedi Starfighter - it's a Toyworld exclusive Sorry; I thought that was common knowledge. I should have mentioned that. Did you get a keyring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svelte Posted March 25, 2009 Did you get a keyring? I got the green one. It's a shame the mouths are fixed, since the rock monsters are all about the 'nom nom' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Scream Clone Posted March 25, 2009 I will probably be ordering a few copies of the book, so I am happy to add more to my order if people want copies and to reduce the postage Well, with all the other sweet cross section SW books it could be a large order for me too Thanks! That's another I own you... I got a 8261 Rally Truck for free thanks to you! Well your welcome, I went to the Wollongong Myer, and surprise surprise, 40 boxes of droids and not one clone BP to be seen, our Myer is pretty lame, they still have MM on shelf, maybe if the big walker goes on special I will weaken....

Well according to this site they have 170+ shops, I had no idea they were that big, must be smaller regional centres I guess, the only ones near me are holiday towns Quick look in their catalogue shows no Lego on sale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarthSion Posted March 25, 2009 Ah ok thanks for the info, there is one near me, but like 30 mins drive. Eww what happened, the site is all beige. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Izzy Posted March 25, 2009 There is a Mr Toys Toyworld in my humble village, I can check the junk mail and let you know if any sweet bargains are going down. I thought it was Toy'R'Us that were rare not Toyworld. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svelte Posted March 25, 2009 Toys R Us stores seem to be based mainly in large cities, whereas Toyworlds are regional. I can't remember the last time I saw a Toyworld, it would have been about 5 years ago when they used to have one in Coffs Harbour (also gone now). I wonder if that means that one of the mid year SW releases will also be a Toyworld exclusive? It will probably be the Hoth battle pack! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Scream Clone Posted March 25, 2009 It will probably be the Hoth battle pack! Better hope not! I will come visit you if it is! Aus TLC people look away, don't get any funny ideas.... On another note my Custom Garage S@H order turned up 4 days after ordering, thats just crazy. I didn't spend over $800 so I can't explain the speedy delivery from UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svelte Posted March 26, 2009 On another note my Custom Garage S@H order turned up 4 days after ordering, thats just crazy. I didn't spend over $800 so I can't explain the speedy delivery from UK I never seem to have much luck; I put in an over $800 one when the Farm stuff came out and didn't get the supposed auto upgrade to Express shipping - it came standard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDarkness Posted March 26, 2009 I never seem to have much luck; I put in an over $800 one when the Farm stuff came out and didn't get the supposed auto upgrade to Express shipping - it came standard I was fortunate enough to receive my last order within 3 days of shipment but then it was a $1300 order. My previous ones of $700 though all were shipped slowly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth_Legois Posted March 26, 2009 So went to Myer and its fully stocked! With Farm and everything [Farm is everywhere now like Toyworld, BigW, Kmart, Myer.. ]. And plenty of BP's [About 15 or so] on the shelf. [Plenty of everything like all the shelves with LEGO were packed So I got the Construction Front-end loader, Clone BP[My second] & Assassin Droid BP. All up it cost $39.90 [With the "Buy 2 Toys get the 3rd FREE" promotion] So I'm pretty happy now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hewman Posted March 26, 2009 I jsut went to the Toyworld in Adelaide which is pretty well stocked, but no sign of the 7751 Ahsoka's Jedi Starfighter. February release date pfft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted March 26, 2009 I know of at least 3 Toyworlds here in Perth that opened in the last year or so, one at Balcatta, one at Cockburn Central and one new one that just opened up in Canning Vale (the last one is only small and not worth going to through) Why can't they discount some decent sets?! Although that V19 on sale & discount was great! My local Toyworld still has some Space Skulls and its $60 ea I think, If you just want one you could save like $20 [instead of paying the ridiculous shipping] if you just went to your local Toyworld Since when did Toyworld carry the Space Skulls? I go there regularly and have NEVER seen ANY Toyworld that had the Space Skulls in stock (given the way LEGO lists it as a "factory" set like the market street, star justice and custom car garage, I would doubt LEGO would even sell it outside of S&H and LEGO stores.

I heard they were stocking them for a while now, though they are on clearance on S@H for 39.99 and not even worth that according to svelte_corps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarthSion Posted March 26, 2009 Thing with exclusives they all end up eBay anyway, so if you cant get to the store just get it off eBay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sammyboy Posted March 26, 2009 Checked out the Myer sale today in Melbourne CBD - no sign of Farm as of yet. But I did pick up three Police Station, three Construction sites, and three Ferry Transports! I think I definitely have a problem - at least thats what my friends tell me!
