     It’s also THE BEST for those poor plebs of us that can’t afford to drop $500 bucks at one time on a Lego purchase 🙂

     I’m disappointed as well. Had hoped Myer or Target with a 20% off sale. Here’s hoping they have a sale greater than 5%. Will just have to wait and see, otherwise save my pennies for double VIP.

   Yes. Another slap in the face from LEGO Australia allowing the Ghostbusters HQ to be exclusive to Big W.
   A store that doesn’t do 20% off sales!!!
   Would have been great to pick this up at a DJ’s 20% off sale.
   The frustrations are nearly reaching boiling point…..
   Here’s hoping the $500 Technic Porsche 911 GT3 is not exclusive to Big W when released to retail in Spring later this year.

     Interesting – as I cannot purchase anything from DJ’s and I find they have very few sales. (They are not located close to me, and the only set I want from them ‘Ferris Wheel’ always seems to be ‘out of stock’ during their 20% online sales). So now (having had a night to think about it 🙂 ) I am looking at saving Big W gift cards when they have a decent percent discount – to help offset (can always use them on other sets if I get GB HQ from Lego S&H).

   Those buying Big W gift cards for the GB HQ be warned, there is no guarantee they will have much stock.

   Hmmm…Big W has never been good when it comes to selling the BIG exclusive sets. I went to my local Big W last year 5minutes after it opened to try get my hands on the helicarrier and was told that they had apaprently been sold. Then I rang up 3 other stores and I got the same response “none in stock.” I’m beginning to think it’s a scam to get people into the stores because I have never seen any big exclusive sets ever in store. Does anyone out there ever seen one in stores? I’ve heard that they only get 2 sets per store in which case would make sense why I’ve never seen it on the shelf.

   Another reason I think it’s a scam and not really lego related was that also last year in their catalogue they advertised the Tranformers Combiner Wars Devastator for $200 when it hasn’t even been released yet. No surprised it was already “sold out” when I logged into their website 10 pass midnight and also wasn’t available in any stores for obvious reason.

   Now they’re doing it again this year advertising the transformers Fortress Maximus http://www.lasoo.com.au/catalogue/big-brand-toy-sale/56uzs3xzc.html?pid=promotedCatalogue#pageview=2&pageNo=18 when it’s not even out yet lol. It’s scheduled to be released around September 30.

     One of my three local BigW definitely has all three exclusives. The other two didn’t (yet) or the teenage employee didn’t know. Call your local and see what they say.

   They do indeed get stock how ever limited the numbers are. I assume Lego itself determines the supply but they’re not exactly going to swamp the shelves with $500 sets when that’s not realistic for the majority of people who shop there to lay-by for Christmas. Definitely ring your local the day prior to the sale to confirm the sets are there to be put out.

   Travelling for work at the moment in NSW, spotted 2 ghostbusters HQ’s in Singleton Big W. The exclusives are out there…..

   Big W Carindale had good stock levels when for the sand crawler, gb ha and helicarrier when the store opened at 8. There was still a few of each left by 8.30. Much more organised than previous sales.

   I tried the KMart Price Promise tonight at Burwood NSW and the store manager told me I needed to have the physical catalogue to get the deal. Sort of defeats the purpose if I have to go to BigW to get the catalogue just to return to KMart to pay the same amount. I can understand if it was a dodgy website sale but I showed him the bigw.com.au site and….. not interested. I think I’ll be calling KMart management sometime about this…
