Myer Queen St, Brisbane City Myer has exactly three LEGO The Hobbit An Unexpected Gathering 79003. They are opposite the pay desk at the end of row of the city sets. They are behind some larger city sets. Can use the b2g1 deal on them (33.3% off effectively---about $79 each). Myer also has a ton of the Lone Ranger silver mine (..ok about 9 sets) [at retail price, can use b2g1....but Target downstairs has one on clearance see below]. Note also that the Hobbit set and the Lone Ranger set are both the same price ($119). Myer has good levels of the new Hobbit sets and Ninjago sets. Target Queen St, Brisbane City Pretty poor quantities here. However there are 1. Arkham Asylum on the top shelf ($249) 2. Exactly 3 Ninjacopters ($59) Perfect for the b2g1 deal today. 3. Also has the new Ninjago mecha set ($87 I think it scanned for) [about 4 sets on the shelf]. 4. Lone Ranger silver mine ($79) [only 1 remaining on the right-hand section of the lego aisle] It is a yellow box and was behind another set (around the duplo area)--couldn't find any other lego around the $79 mark, except for the $87 ninjago set. 5. The $39 new hobbit set (79011) Target also has b2g1, but not a lot of (Lego) stuff to combine together... and I don't think they have ANY Friends stuff at all. Another thing, Target sells the Green baseplates for ~$8, Myer for ~$10. Both have b2g1. I don't usually see baseplates on special much more than 20%, so the b2g1 is a good opportunity to get them if you need them. Myer has not only the green one, but the road plates (~$15) and the blue plate (~$10) and the large grey one (~$18 I think). Target in the city had more than 6 green baseplates today. Please let us know if anyone picks any of the above sets up or are gone when you visited.

ShopForMe daily blitz Not sure if these awesome offers from the big guys make it harder for SFM...can SFM access rates from Lego to profitable match them?...but today's daily blitz is better than the big boys....even Target with its b2g1 offer. Bugger... I just paid 18c more for it. LEGO Creator 31015 Emerald Express $9.99 down to $6.49 Save: 35% off

Wow! And I just had Myer all sussed out for today...then bam! Target hits us with this... wonderful! Thanks TanTile for letting us know in good time. Yes, I confirmed through purchases that it does stack with the 20% off lego City and Ninjago and the special Lego prices in the catalogue..so some Lego is effectively 50% off retail price. The older $29 vehicles (e.g. Cement mixer, Garbage truck) are scanning at 23.20 (so will be even less than the new vehicles at $24). (The two Ninjago sets probably better percentage off at $23 each and with more interesting pieces). I am holding off on the new $29 City vehicles as TRU is likely to have a $14.99 sale on them later in the year, or at least will be able to pick them up at $20 at Big W if not. The $39 sets may get down to $25 at Kmart/BigW later. The Ninjago sets are also on special (20% off or special price). 70724 NinjaCopter (516 pcs) is down to $59 but you may have to get in early to find three in a store (I only saw a couple today). Sponge bob Glove world (3816) now scans at $15....or $10 each when buying three. The City monster truck (60055) and the racer (60053) scan at $12...so $8 each if buy three (50% off $16 retail) Creator train and other little sets scan at $10. The small city sets are 20% off (I didn't scan, but would expect it to be around $8). Another combo is with Friends Kate's scooter fun which scans at $9. As far as Friends sets: no Sunshine Harvest, no new $15.99 sets (they have Andrea's bedroom and Mia's magic tricks at $15 each). Didn't see any minifigures or friends animal series. Would you please let us know if you do see any other sets at target. The Junior builder sets are also worth taking a look. The $30 ones now at $25 (princess pink one and the construction red one) also are packed in stackable plastic storage containers fashioned like a 2x2 brick (although the piece count isn't that good). Buy three for $50 ($16.67 each: $1.67 shy of half price). They have a few Lone Ranger Colby City sets --- scan at $69 not as the $89 tag tells on the shelf. But Myer online shop or Lego Shop online may be better as they are still clearing these out at half price---cheaper than Target even with the B2G1 offer. Note: Comparison with Myer's 2 for 1. 1. The Creator mini sets (e.g. the train, digger and little helicopter) are $9.95 there, so save a little 10c on three. (Target sometimes rounds up from the retail price (e.g. 15.95 -> 16); Myer prices Lego as far as I can tell at $nn.95 in comparison with the lego shop at $nn.99. 2. Myer has other sets that Target doesn't have, so you less likely need to buy two or three of the same set. 3. Myer's reward program appears to be better than Flybuys. Let me know your thoughts on the above.

Monster Fighters: Kmart has plenty of the Vampire ($125), Crazy Scientist ($69) and the HH ($168) Was hoping they would mark them down...

Doesn't appear to be any Lego in tomorrow's Kmart and Big W catalogues. Did I miss anything?

ShopForMe daily blitz: LEGO The Hobbit An Unexpected Gathering 79003 $119.99 $89.99 Save: 25% off SFM is apparantly selling its last remaining hobbit 79003 sets. Although it is not retired yet (lego shop still selling in Au, US, UK and Canada), it has been around since nov 2012 so it may go out of production soon and now might be a good time to pick it up. Note that half of the other sets in the same batch of the series (i.e. 79000, 79002, 79010) are sold out on the online Lego shop for Australia and retired in the UK/US/Canada. The following are still available: 79001, 79003, 79004---all at Au retail price. Set 79004 was retired in US and Canada a few days ago. Check Target first if you want any of these sets as I have seen them on clearance end of last year/early Jan---though maybe not many (if any) left now (e.g. 79000 $13, 79001 $34 or $29 depending on the store, 79002 $59(?) (can't remember this one exactly sorry)---would you please update us if you know anything about seeing these recently in target and prices. I haven't seen set 79003 for months in the retail stores and didn't see it in Myer today. Please let us know if you see it in your local Myer this week during the buy2get1 sale. Now may be the best time to pick up any of the above sets at Myer if you are lucky to find them there.

Is in store now until Monday.
