2018 Toy Sales – All The Deals From Target
Period: June 28 – July 18 2018
Big Ticket Items: Some small exclusives
Christmas Lay-by: No
The latest Target catalogue features their toy sale offering and it’s a fairly standard offering – 20% off all LEGO.
It may be lacking in big exclusives like Big W’s Hulkbuster but Target does have two smaller exclusives that are on sale. There is 41343 Heartlake City Airplane Tour for $35 and 31078 Treehouse Treasures for $30.
The catalogue is full of sets that appear to be discounted further than the advertised 20% off. You can view a list of those below.
Sale prices are also active on the Target eBay store and you can get an extra 5% off with the code PULL5. View the eBay range here.
On Sale: 10% Off At eBay
Did you miss the weekend’s eBay Plus 15% off? Well eBay is offering a little something for everybody.
Using the code PIZZAZZ at checkout will get you 10% off your purchase over $50.
This is one of those annoying codes that will work for as long as it’s advertised. Essentially eBay will pull it when they get tired of giving the discount.
Head over to eBay now to look around.
This code should also stack with any other discounts that don’t require a code. For example the sets that Myer has on sale. You can view the Myer LEGO range here.
On Sale: 15% Off eBay Plus Items
In an effort to catch people before they sign up for Amazon Prime, eBay are offering some weekend specials for their “eBay Plus” service.
There are a few hourly offers but the more interesting deal is 15% off Plus items.
You’ll need to be a Plus member to take advantage of the offer but there is a 30 day free trial. eBay Plus is $49 per year ($25 for the first year) and gives you free shipping as well as access to exclusive offers like this sale.
To get your 15% off you’ll need the code PLUS15 at checkout and spend over $50. This offer ends 11:59 PM AEST on Sunday June 24th.
Unfortunately the Big W listings don’t seem to be covered under the Plus banner but it looks like the Myer listings are. You can get a further 15% off their 20% off prices. View the Myer listings here.
Here is a general listing of LEGO listings in the Plus category. That result is fairly broad so be sure to check that prices before the discount aren’t a ripoff.
There are certainly listings from well known sellers that are worth checking out. This UCS Falcon listed at RRP would be nice with a 15% discount.
App users may want to use a different device to check this out. I am not sure how well any of those links will work with the app.
On Sale: 20% Off At Myer
Myer are having another Super Saturday sale. I’m still not sure how they determine whether a Saturday is super or regular but I’m not complaining.
On offer is 20% off toys, including almost all LEGO. This offer is online now or in-store tomorrow (Saturday June 23rd) only.
They already had 20% off a lot of themes but this will be good for those sets that weren’t covered.
Unfortunately there are still some exclusions: Clearance, Creator Expert, Ideas, Millennium Falcon & Death Star. Edit: Looks like Creator Expert and Ideas are included.
You can view their online range here.
Extra 5% off via eBay
If the Myer eBay store has something that you are after you will be able to get an extra 5% off with the code PULL5.
App users: I can’t seem to link to search results for a specific seller. Sorry.
LEGO Masters TV Show Looking For Contestants
Television company Endemol Shine Australia got in touch with me earlier today with some exciting news.
The LEGO Masters TV show is coming to Australia and they are casting teams right now.
If you are unfamiliar with the show it features teams of two builders working together to create some amazing creations.
You can check out the trailer for the UK version below.
Teams fall under one of three categories – Two Minors, Adult & Minor or Two Adults.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
Teams of two who are talented LEGO builders from all backgrounds around Australia.
Examples of teams: Father/Daughter, Mother/son, Grandmother/Grandson, Siblings, Work Mates, Uni Friends or Cousins.
RULES:
Australian residents or Citizens
You must be available for one (possibly two) days between the 6th August – 3rd September 2018 for a potential audition with Producers.
You must be available for approx. 10-12 weeks for the shoot. At this stage, shooting will take place between October and December 2018.
If you want to be the first winner of LEGO Masters Australia you can find the application form at https://legocasting.com.au/
Toys R Us Australia To Close
The Toys R Us brand has had a dark cloud over it since the US arm first announced they were filing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy back in September 2017. As we know the US didn’t recover and has now closed all stores. The same fate befell other countries shortly after.
Now, after administrators failed to find a buyer for the company, all Australian stores will now be closing.
Regardless of how you feel about the company this is sad news – over 700 staff will be made redundant. Less competition is also bad for consumers.
The online store will be taken offline tomorrow and open online orders will be delivered to customers in cases where they have paid in full and stock is available. Gift cards must be used by July 5th, but in order to do so you will have to spend the equivalent amount yourself. For example to use a $50 gift card your purchase will need to be at least $100. Lay-bys will also be honoured until July 5th.
Toys R Us was home to several exclusive LEGO sets, with more that were scheduled for June. I have spoken to LEGO Australia about these but as of now there is no official statement on what will be happening in regards to these sets. As soon as I know more I will share that information with you.
There is likely to be liquidation sales happening soon and I will do my best to share those with you as they happen.
On Sale: Extra 20% Off Myer’s Toy Sale Prices via eBay
The Myer 2018 Toy Sale starts online and in-store today. That also means that sale prices are now live on the Myer eBay store. That may not sound that interesting until you remember that there is a 20% off code that is still active until 11:59 PM tomorrow night.
Enter the code PICK20MYER at checkout and you’ll get the extra discount.
Not every set is on sale but those that are have a red price. With a few themes with a flat 20% off there may be something worth checking out.
The PICK20MYER code is single use and expires 11:59 PM AEST on June 20th.
Thanks to Adam for the information.

Big Ticket Items: Downtown Diner, Assembly Square, Taj Mahal, Ship in a Bottle, Saturn V
Christmas Lay-by: Unknown

On Sale: 25% Off At Myer
Myer are having a LEGO Day with 25% off most of their LEGO range. I say most because there are quite a few exclusions.
Not included in the 25% off is Clearance, Han Solo Star Wars, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, Creator Expert, Ideas, Death Star and Hot Price Lego.
Everything else should be 25% off. This is a one day only sale so discount prices will be valid until 11:59 PM AEST.

40% off via Myer’s eBay store
Myer is also offering 25% off most of their eBay range too. With the addition of the code PICK20MYER you can get 20% off the already reduced prices for a total of 40% off.
The PICK20MYER code is valid until June 20th, but the 25% off will end tonight.

Thanks to everybody who emailed or messaged me about this sale.
2018 Toy Sales – All The Deals From Big W
Period: June 21 – July 11 2018
Big Ticket Items: Hulkbuster
Christmas Lay-by: Yes
After pictures of their 2018 Toy Sale catalogue started showing up on various sites Big W have surprisingly pulled the trigger today and released the actual catalogue online for everybody.
There are 80 sets featured and it’s a very broad mix of themes.
The big new exclusive for this year is 76105 The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition, which may not have the same level of impact as previous years exclusives but it is still something that you won’t find at every retailer.
Once again in 2018 Big W is doing a 10% price beat offer. If you find a lower advertised price on a product Big W will beat it by 10%. The catch is that you can only match in-store prices, so no Amazon matching.
You can view the full list of sale sets below. The table is searchable and sortable.
Note that these lists are always based on RRP rather than Big W’s regular pricing. The discounts may be different from what the catalogue says.
