Jusco's JCard Sale @ Mid Valley had a 20% discount on Lego. The planet sets are especially worthwhile, since they're only RM40 if you haven't got any yet!

It's disappointing that they raised the price. Meh.

Hey guys, happy Star Wars Day!

Yeah you should check out the guy's site. He takes some pretty cool pictures.

You should try Empire, I saw a fresh box the other day. The staff are usually quite helpful and if the box is near empty you can ask them to bring out a new one.

Well, that's true to a certain extent, but Lego has recently been catching a lot of flak for using cheaper "China-quality" plastic, especially within the Collectible Minifigure Series. Personally, the difference in quality (especially the leg pieces) is incredibly noticeable and frankly I'm a bit disappointed in them for skimping on the manufacturing process.

I guess its understandable that they're having to use Chinese factories at the rate they're pumping out the minifigs.

Ah that's my blog, haha!

Haha, soon when I have time. I have a lot of sets that are unbuilt yet cause I've been busy with work, heh.

Lol, the US RRP price for Helms Deep is $129.99... so expect is to cost like RM900+, haha.

Haha.. well you can buy all the Avengers sets, except for the 6867 - Cosmic Cube Escape to get the whole avengers team. The shitty part is that you'll need 6869 - Quinjet JUST for Black Widow which is pretty silly.

All in all.. based on Toys R Us pricing here...

Captain America - RM80
Quinjet - RM 479

You'll get the whole Avengers Team + Loki + 3 Chitauri villains.

Only problem is they're not selling the Hulk set in stores here, heh.

Someone call for The Hulk?

American companies like shop.lego.com and Amazon don't ship to AUS, so you can't enjoy the cheaper prices. For shopping in Australia the best time to shop for Lego is if you're going around late June, early July cause you'll be able to catch the Australian Toy Sale.

If not, your best bet would be to try Kmart and Big W. Big W normally sells for slightly below Aussie RRP (which is still quite high and only a bit cheaper than Malaysian pricing). Kmart has pretty good deals if you're lucky (for eg, my last trip I bought the Garbage Truck for AU$20) and they usually have pretty good clearance deals for older sets.

For the bigger department stores, Myer/David Jones, they occasionally have Buy 2 Free 1 deals for Toys or Buy One Get One 50% off deals if you're lucky. Target has pretty consistent 20% off sales on Lego, but as all the previous deals it's all about timing.

Don't even bother about TRU in Australia unless you're interested in exclusive sets like the Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape, they jack up their prices way above RRP and even when they have sales, it's not worth it. For example, Series 7 minifigs cost AU$5 per pack there.

For eg, here's the RRP prices for the Marvel Sets.

Captain America: $25
Wolverine: $50
Loki's cube: $50
Hulk: $100
Quinjet: $130

In conclusion, UNLESS the sets are on sale, buying in Australia is not REALLY worth it.

Lemme know if you have any questions, I travel to Australia pretty often so I can point you towards good places to buy if you're keen.

Just checked out Toys R Us Mid Valley and they were putting up several TRU exclusives on the shelves. 6857 - Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape and 9495 - Gold Leader's Y Wing for RM249.90.

They also added more Quinjets and they even have the Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout set for the high high price of RM345. Most of the other Marvel sets were also back in stock.

Oh and if anyone is thinking of checking out the TRU clearance sale at Summit, don't bother. No Lego at all.

I really like the bunny suit guy

I just checked out TRU at One U just now, there was one left!


Haha thanks guys. The Friends sets are really great, the porcupine was from Heartlake Vet which is an awesome set cause you get those yellow new molded flowers too!


Haha, surprisingly a lot of bunnies are left abandoned! They're not as popular as the Galaxy Patrols or Dark Knights.

Btw, Brickboy Mid Valley has stocked the Summer Ninjago sets. Saw 3 new ones

9450 - Epic Dragon Battle - http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=9450-1
9448 - Samurai Mech - http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=9448-1
9449 - Ultra Sonic Raider - http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=9449-1

The Mech was about... Rm240 and the epic dragon battle was RM660ish. Cant remember the exact prices.

the sets are really cool!



I just wrote about this set on my blog, it has more pictures there. Tried embedding the pix here but they were abit too large cause they're very hi-res. I got lucky cause my friend's mum came back from Canada 3 weeks ago and got him to help me buy this and Weathertop.

Hope to build Weathertop this weekend when I have more time!
