  1. I did order 3 of them, though if they send some in bags it definitely something to keep an eye on for any future purchases!
  2. My Slave One sets arrived from Catchoftheday and and feared damaged boxes when I saw how they were packed. However, thankfully all were fine. Bit disappointed they couldn't throw in an airbag or two just to fill out the box. Still, their packaging is superior to Barnes and Noble's rubbish
  3. Ended up picking up a SW Emperor's Shuttle for $46ish from Target, decent return from the $110 RRP. Obviously had a bit of a run this week though, most of the Toy Story stuff was gone, along with the Turbo Tanks though one Slave One remained.
  4. Anyone have any idea how long it takes to receive CatchOfTheDay orders?
  5. Wow, will bring the price down of some of their cheapers sets even further. Time to make a bigger purchase I think!
  6. Thanks for that. Not overly interested in the set but may take a peek at that price. The minifigs on it though are disappointing :(
  7. Thanks for this, finally ordered a Slave I
  8. Cheers for this, I've been keeping an eye on this set waiting for it to drop further
  9. When I saw Barnes and Noble had the Hogwarts Castle up, I thought a bargain could be had, but not when they added an extra $20 US onto S@H's US Price :( The Hogwarts Express is $79.99 US, so if you can get the 30% off then it can be a much better deal
  10. My Clone Turbo Tank from B@N has shipped, so pretty happy right now to score it at a nice price, even if I only used one Groupon with the 30% off. Thanks again ang911 for the deal!
  11. It is Not Yet Shipped, yet I have received an email saying it has been delayed
  12. How many groupons did you use with the your unshipped order? I only used one groupon with the 30% off code, just hoping I didn't luck out For those discussing the Battle for Endor set before, S@H have taken $20 off their selling price, down to $179.99
  13. They had dropped it to $49 at our local store Has anyone had their orders from B&N ship yet? I haven't used them before but some of their Lego sets say "Note: : This item does not qualify for coupons or promotional discounts unless expressly stated." Is this a new thing?
  14. Was over in Bali when it came up that K-Mart had reduced the Tantive to $169, I thought I would miss out. Went in today to see plenty on the shelf, in fact all the Lego was fully stocked, a rare suprise in itself! Anyway, not sure if it has been posted but S@H has the 10215 Obi-Wans Jedi Starfighter UCS for $122.49. Still overpriced IMO, but it is discounted from the $714.99 RRP
  15. K-Mart have the Prince of Persia Battle of Alamut set now at $70
  16. I'm glad that the price has finally started to drop on it. If only it would drop as low as the AT-OT went! Mind you, people pick bargains up alot faster at my local K-Mart now so I miss out more often. Either that or the pull the stock off faster. That being said, some clone battle packs made their way back onto the shelves here, which was a suprise, but out at their standard price of $19.50
  17. They also have the Toy Story Garbage Truck for $69.95 delivered, not bad for a Limited Edition set
  18. Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but K-Mart has further discounted the Lego Construct a Buzz and Zurg sets, to $20 and $18 respectively
  19. Our local store put out a few boxes. I was hoping someone made an error when I saw a completely seal box on the shelf, so scanned it only for it to tell me to see a customer service agent. I bought 4 packs for the first time, a Spartan was first up. My kids were happy putting them together though and playing with them. Is there an easy way to identify what is in each packet? I remember reading somewhere about people doing alot of scanning Also went to K-Mart. They had decided to put more of the older Toy Story Lego out, and put back more more Midi-Falcons, so I will revisit tomorrow. Picked up the farm set for $55 though
  20. Definitely. It is the last one I need for the entire collection. Lego at KMart has been pillaged here, but was suprised to find a Woody's Roundup set which I bought for $39. I already have one, but will give it to my nephew for Christmas
  21. I am 1500kms away from anything other than K-Mart or Target, so I am very pleased to be able to order from Big W online. I've made plenty of overseas purchases, but some of our store deals in Australia have been amazing in the past year or so
  22. Cheers for that, I'll check out my local store and scan some barcodes tonight. My Toy Story 3 order from Big W arrived today, quite impressed with the packing and the price
  23. I think you are definitely right. Key characters in the movies are from other toy lines. It's just unfortunate that looking at sets like the train, you really notice the absence of the Potato Heads, or even a Slinky. I doubt Mattel would have any interest in Lego Barbie and Ken (a modular Ken's dreamhouse with minifigs would have been hilarious) This will basically mean the main minifigs will constantly be recycled in all sets like we have seen, limiting their lifespan. The dirtied minfigs I thought were a good touch, but I don't think kids would have cared less about it. There are definitely options that can be explored with this line, but I do think it's time is unfortunately nearing an end, which is disappointing. Both my kids have fallen in love with Lego due to the Toy Story releases
  24. Your review makes this look alot better than S@H. The RRP though here is scary as lightningtiger mentioned. However, it is the one of two left for me to finish off the complete Toy Story series, and I would love to have the whole set! Thanks for your effort!
