Inconsiderate toy retailers! Anyone had news of sales in the auckland/Albany region? Warehouse i noticed had holiday sales on 4 ninjago sets and a promo for Friends: Ninjago: Earth dragon defense 2509 - save $30, Now $30 Turbo Shredder 2263 - save $30, Now $30 Spinjitzu Dojo 2504 - save $35, Now $45 Fire Temple 2507 - save $126!!! Now $124!! Friends: Promo - buy 2 or more, get 20% off! CF

Hmm thats odd....oh well, i guess i'll just use the laptop when it comes to bricklink. Its so annoying about not being able to use the bigger %offs from the toyworld catalogue, that 50% off would have been nice..... CF

Yeah, i remember the days they'd have the first battle packs on for $80 Hey someone mentioned the UCS 10221 SSD, fishpond (no kidding ) has it for $800, not sure if thats any competition with overseas prices though... On a side note, my imac doesn't let me browse any stores on bricklink, but my old pc laptop does, its really weird. Anyone else having this problem? It comes with this - ADODB.Field error '800a0bcd' Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record. /store.asp, line 212 Im completely at a loss with it. CF

Hey thanks so much for that info! Man I will have to start saving..... CF

Have you got the 7946's yet? Im interested to know if fishpond is actually sending sets and not giving you that out of stock email. Wow, sounds like i will have to go have a looky in the red shed soonish. CF

hey talking of LOTR, have we got any details of sets? And if so dates of releases in nz? Allan...? CF

I thought the quality wasn't that bad. Super envious man! Would love to see that set made up in person...all that gorgeous tan CF

what a bargain!!!! I wonder if my kmart has any in stock on sale... Same, i got the skateboarder, was hoping for either the nome, viking, muskateer, artist, fifa guy, sailer or the orange guy, the rocker would have been pretty cool as well. Oh well pretty cool. Im doing my little arms order now, no one is keen? CF

Hey guys, been off here for awhile due to lots of work...anyways. Im very pleased to announce (to anyone in the area who doesn't know) that a Toyworld in Albany (north shore) is opening! Its situated in the block of shops where the Placemakers used to be. I can't wait as now that will be another lego retailer in one area and hopefully some good sales eg boxing day...! We now have: warehouse, Farmers, Kmart, Toyworld, Toys R Fun...I think thats pretty darn good. Im planning on doing a Little Arms order in the next few days, to get afew more of their guns and to sell afew on TM for profit. Is anyone keen to combine with me? Im happy to buy what you want (and you can put the money + shipping (from me to you), into my account) I don't mind as its a fixed shipping price from little arms. Have a look and get back to me via PM asap. Im planning on ordering Friday or Saturday. CF

Recognizable immediately! Fantastic work. I wonder if this is going to be a start to more LOTR mocs this year with the coming release of the Hobbit! CF

Supported on Cuusoo! Best of luck, this is just a fantastic moc, hands down the best western moc i've seen all time. Keep up the good work! CF

Went into farmers 2 days back and they had 20% off lego, the new BPs $30 - were down to $25. Didn't look at any other prices as I was in a rush. CF

Ahh, thanks for that, wish i lived down there. CF

Thats ridiculous! I guess since they have put 2 factions into the set its cause to boost up the price... Will have to wait for a sale. This isn't even funny!! I have no idea how your doing this Fatteh! Well im super envious of your $10 parts pack. Will have to go into my local WH and hunt down some damaged sets. Oh BTW what store was it you got this $10 'parts pack'? CF

Hey, yes thank you, i did indeed, and got a very nice tan. Thanks bro, nice to be back. Anything to help get the site out there! I haven't been spending at all, feel like im neglecting lego. Very tempting, would love to get that set, just don't want to shell out a hundie. Any sales on new SW sets? CF

I go away on holidays and this topic explodes! And some new NZ members to boot! Welcome guys and gal. Kiwi Bricks looks fantastic Brickthing and Legoman! I've just joined and look forward to being accepted. I hope you don't mind but i'll add the image to my signature. :) Looking forward to participating in this topic hopefully alittle more than last year, and maybe i'll buy some more sets this time round...last year was a shocka. Sorry for my offtopicness. CF is back!

No SW. Was at the Warehouse yesterday and nothing new...they sure are taking there time this year. CF

Anyone sited the 2012 sets? I was in Farmers today and the 30%off sale is still going, but no 2012 stuff. This time last year i picked up the new BPs and the Naboo set and with the then current 30% off sale it was great! Was hoping i'd get the same deal this year but no go... Ah well, will keep my eyes open.

It so is. I only got two sets in january this year and the temptation has been crazy to get more!! Had a small look in on Kmart today when i was at the sales in albany, not much on sale. My brother wanted a Ninjago set and it was $39, he scanned it and it showed $25, so afew things must have 'secretly' been on sale. Don't know why they don't advertise though. Looking forward to 2012, the SW BPs look great!! Can't wait for the clone one especially! CF

Event Cinemas have a special offer of when you buy a family pass and swipe your kids club card you get 1 free Lego minifigure, not sure from which series though. Pretty sweet though, go to the movies AND receive some lego.

Thats pretty good, i wouldn't pay $70 for it at all, maybe $34 though...

Thanks for the heads up, i might get the geo fighter as its $60. I think its pretty good from what i've heard, guess you just have to try, and see what the results are. I think in the past either harmacy or legoman wanted a 4483 at-at. Here's one on TM for a bargain - http://www.trademe.co.nz/toys-models/lego-building-toys/lego/star-wars/auction-430411233.htm . CF

http://www.1-day.co.nz/onsale/playmobil/p/ Why can't it be Lego?? Does anyone know if boxing day sales are going to be any good in terms of Lego prices? I might get a set or two if so. CF

Is that the SW calendar for $40 at Farmers? Or is it the City one. CF

This looks very exciting! Im definitely going to have a go. CF
