A Rough Guide To 2012

Friday, January 13, 2012

The Mr Toys Toyworld website has once again provided some Australian release dates and retail prices for LEGO® sets coming out in the first three quarters of 2012. In the past, these have proven to be a good rough guide to the coming year in LEGO® for Australia. In total, there are 183 sets appearing [...]

LEGO® have launched a new LEGO® product called Life Of George which combines an Apple iOS game with physical LEGO® bricks. The iPhone app recognises which bricks you’ve placed on a play mat and this, by physically constructing 2D models against the clock, you can progress in the game. Here’s a video of how it [...]

Kyle of Sport Bricks has set up an international Series 5 collectible minifigure availability map utilising Google Maps. You can see it here. First off – what a great idea! Very useful for LEGO® hunters. Australia has no sightings yet, and New Zealand has pipped us at the post. When you see some, it’d be [...]

The next set in the LEGO® Modular Buildings series, 10218 Pet Shop, is now available from LEGO® Shop@Home with an RRP of $269.99. This has got to be one of the cutest sets ever, with lots of lovely details and even a parrot! But as always shipping will add substantially to the cost. If you [...]

Big W: LEGO® Cars Arriving This Week

Monday, May 9, 2011

5 Comments

Big W don’t have any LEGO® deals of note in their latest catalog, but they do have several of the Cars 2 sets listed. I’m not sure if this is an exclusive for them or if we should expect these in other shops this week too. None of these sets are yet on the LEGO® [...]

The hunt is on for Series 4 Minifigures on Australian shelves, with forum users reporting they’ve been spotted in Toyworld Southland, Myer Melbourne and one Target store. It seems like the stock will be limited to start with, so if you see them, snap them up! No luck at my local Target today, but hopefully [...]

An educational minifigure set that was only available on the European Lego Shop is now available for Australians. The set is 9349 Fairytale and Historic Minifigure Set and it includes 22 minifigures and accessories. Not too badly priced at $67.99, though a lot of the minifigs look familiar from the Kingdoms and Pirates themes. It [...]

4 Comments

The Mr Toys / Toyworld website has again given us a sneak preview of upcoming LEGO® sets, including Australian RRP and release date. It includes the new themes Cars, NinjaGo and Pirates of the Caribbean; but interestingly not Pharoah’s Quest, suggesting perhaps this will be an exclusive theme to someone other than Toyworld. It also [...]
