Are you using coupons or are they just refusing to ship internationally?

About $450 first up, but I didn't check bricklink for any cheaper. If I could get as much from Lego as possible I figured I'd save myself a few headaches

Officially started buying parts for the UCS Falcon, so this will be a once off post. Ordered about 70% of it already through Lego which is a fair start, but then I need to source the rest from Bricklink.

I picked up two 5512 sets at my local k-mart today. I was annoyed I missed these at the toy sale but happily snapped these up. They had some season four minifigs which I looked at then put back as $5 was too steep. I looked online when I got home and decided to order a carton of season five internationally due to the much cheaper price tag!

Just ordered another Death Star Playset from Amazon.fr who have restocked

You've inspired me to do the same, I am downloading the instructions now. One sold for over $2k on eBay a few weeks ago (before the scammers started) and this is the only way I think to put it together. the minifigs are insignificant, so it really is a matter of either sorting out all my pieces, or just buying the lot.

It is, but cannot be shipped to Australia

Thanks for the review. I was contemplating picking it up, but the Clone Pilot black head and unprinted Rebel helmet are enough for me to decline a purchase

I finished putting these together tonight, and just love the set. The minifigs were awesome (though a new Qui-Gon would have made more sense!) and it is just so colourful. I didn't find the build tedious at all, I was probably too busy admiring the colour of the sets. Thanks for an awesome review!

I would have thought it would be a great idea to promote families building the bigger sets together. I finished off the Podracer sets tonight, my kids were in awe of their colours. Even moreso when I showed them the part from Ep 1 which it was inspired from!

Hahah so awesome! Love it

I won't be purchasing from Barnes and Noble again. I ordered some SW Lego and paid for express shipping due to the sets constantly getting smashed up in transit. Well they shipped 6 small sets express, and the 2 bigger ones obviously via slow shipping. The small sets had a tracking number via UPS, the others shipped by Brokers. So it looks like I paid $70 freight for multiple sets of the Ewok Attack and the Geonosian Starfighter, whist my Darth Maul ship and Frigate arrive by slow boat! As soon as a shipping note came through I queried it, and they said I would receive all my sets by the 16th of August. The UPS one came quick but still nothing on the other. Multiple emails have been sent, with them saying just wait, and the latest was customs were delaying my package. Yet today, a Podracers set arrives, shipped by the cheapest standard method, and shipped 5 days after my last one was sent. Incredibly frustrating. Never, ever again. Onto Amazon.fr, my technic sets arrived yesterday with the box condition similar to u98925's pic. The sets inside weren't too bad, but its still bitterly disappointing that on larger orders they don't secure the boxes as well as they should. Had the same from Amazon.uk, so I am now debating whether or not to bother ordering from any of those stores anymore.

How likely is it one of the stores gets the Executor before Christmas?

Yeah I do try and keep and eye out, but it really doesn't last long. May have to send my money overseas again

Cheers for that. The only retail stores I have available are K-Mart, Toyworld and Target so unless any of those others have an online sale, I miss out.

What chances that the Pet Shop will reach the ridiculously low prices that the Fire Station hit (ie 50% off)? I have been close to ordering this from overseas a couple of times but after picking up Fire Stations for $150, I'm holding off for the moment

I bought two of these and two of the original Death Stars when Lego had a clearance, and sold them off for a tidy profit not long after. I seriously regret not keeping one, as I would love to add one to my collection and now the prices are insane!

I've purchased a couple of sets from them. Delivery time wasn't the fastest but had no issues

If they make a LOTR line, then my money will be away from Star Wars for awhile. I'd love for it to happen

Well it costs about $50 to ship one of those inside the country via Australia Post

Damn, so my 100 or so snowtroopers will cop a pasting too

Is it mainly clones you create armies with, or do you have big stashes from the other battle packs? I supposed what I am asking, do yuo have other large armies, or are your clones your main focus?

Awesome once again mutley. I reckon you should mail your clone pilots and wolfpack clones to Australia for a break from active duty

If it is legit, I will be happy, but for now I have my doubts

Do you really have to question if it's a scam? eBay has become flooded with these scams lately
