Looks like you can pretty much get 20% off if you buy 2 Lego sets the same value.
Also some good other toys included.

Update: According to tests and purchases (mine included) it currently becomes a flat 20% discount off all items.

  • Save 40% off the second item when you purchase 2 items across Toys, Lego, Costumes, Kids Art & Craft, Books and Paperchase.

*Purchased in one transaction. Not in conjunction with any other offer. Excludes: Clearance, Board & Card Games and selected LEGO ranges (Art, Creator Expert, Ideas, Super Mario, 71043 Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle, 76139 Batmobile and 42115 Lamborghini Sian FKP 37).

    You just need to buy two of ANY item part of the promotion to be eligible for the deal. I bought the a- wing and combined it with a $9.95 matchbox truck also part of it.

      Wouldn't that mean you paid full price for the a-wing, and $6 for the truck?

        No, once you put two eligible items in the basket they give you a blanket discount for all items I.e. roughly 20% off.

        Actually Mr Snrub is right — it takes 20% off both items.

        I added an A-Wing + random $12 set and checkout takes 20% off each.

          20% off is pretty good. I recommend the a wing. Its pretty hard to get and first time at least for me seeing it 20% off

          • Gnostikos on 21/08/2020 - 13:12

            @RetroMetro: The A-Wing was on sale at David Jones just last week for virtually the same price and there was another David Jones deal before that for DJs Rewards members that came to $254 for the A-Wing, but both of those deals seemed to sell out incredibly fast and the latter wasn't very well-publicised.

            This Myer deal (at least for the time being) seems to have a lot more stock.

          re sale value for lego bits is very high… they are sold per kilo because they last for generations.

          whole point of lego not to recreate the same model but mix and match if you want… this is creativity

          most of the time they get thrown in the bin.

          Even if they do, and that's a big if (I still have a giant tub of virtually all the Lego I had as a kid in the garage and most other AFOLs I know do as well), do you honestly believe Lego even rates as some statistically significant source of landfill waste compared to all of the other plastic junk people consume and dispose of on a daily or weekly basis?

          The most common types of plastics that end up polluting the environment are disposable, incredibly low-cost grades of plastic that are ironically the most recyclable (cigarette butts, plastic bottles, food wrappings, plastic bags, straws, styrofoam, etc) and not high-quality ABS plastics of the kind found in Lego.

          Do you realise 95% of the plastic in the oceans comes from 10 rivers in Asia (which ranks as the smallest Lego market by annual net sales globally) and that China, India and the US contribute 95% of the world's CO2 emissions?

          Seriously, if you want to grandstand on your moral high horse at least pick a more worthwhile "villain" than a goddamned toy manufacturer that takes environmental conservation and sustainability more seriously than any of the largest oil & gas companies in the world.

            @Gnostikos: You're referring to specific, Lego hobbyists that never chuck their Batman Bat-Tumbler in the bin - true.
            These are no different to coffee drinkers that are environment-conscious, or people that re-use their shopping bags

            I'm referring to the basic Lego set like Barbie Friends beach-house which would probably be up there in your interests, but either way - they're not recyclable. Here's a statement from Lego Australia about Recycling: “we recommend passing them on to someone else.” source

            I'm not a lego hater if that's what you think, I just think the components can be made from recycled plastic.

              @frostman: "I just think the components can be made from recycled plastic."

              You can basically say that about 95% of all mass produced consumer goods. Picking on one specific product or deal to wax lyrical about your values is pretty much just virtue signalling. Obviously you're not trying to be a d-bag, but as the quote goes: nobody's a villain in their own story.

              Snarky.

              Did all those neggy-negs give your ego a big boo-boo? The life of the ecological martyr railing against the Lego zealots is lonely and fraught with peril, I know.

              I just think the components can be made from recycled plastic.

              They can't. Not to the level of quality that Lego is synonymous with; the allowed tolerances for finished products in Lego factories are simply too small for non-virgin ABS plastic to achieve.

              Plant-based plastics will likely change that in the future and there already have been a few sets released that feature them but they are still experimenting with the technologies involved.

              Thank you for conceding defeat and ignoring the other 90% of my post that refutes your baseless assertion that Lego pieces are some environmental menace clogging up the landfills of the world, which is based on nothing but pure speculation.

                Not at all - people on forums are biased (sometimes unconsciously) to things they like, so it bothers me SFA, i'm not here for love.
                Same people that negged my comments probably remove the Milk Bottle cap and divide their rubbish meticulously. Yet providing a link that shows Lego's FAQ about recycling is answered by 'passing it so someone' falls on deaf ears and eyes.

                Thank you for conceding defeat and ignoring the other 90% of my post that refutes your baseless assertion that Lego pieces are some environmental menace clogging up the landfills of the world,

                I didn't think you'd stoop to levels of paraphrasing, and worst of all, even assuming 'defeat' here.

                My original comments suggested the hard/solid plastic of Legos DO NOT decompose as easily as a Plastic Milk container or Coffee Cap, or straw. for the very reason you stated about build quality.

                As the world has moved on to more greener plastics, Lego should too.

            @ChiefAJ: The fictitious Lego villains of Frostman's vivid imagination who are dumping their damned coloured bricks onto our shores, parks, nature reserves and pristine Australian outback by the truckload.

            I can't remember how many times I've gone for a picnic at a regional park or a botanical garden only to find those damned minifig heads strewn all over the previously unspoilt green meadows.

            Every time I go for a jog around my local park I'm always losing my footing on little Lego tyres and 2x4 bricks, it's just ridiculous. The birds try to eat those colourful transparent 1x1 pieces thinking they're food… oh the humanity of it all.

      They are starting to create new sets with recyclable plastics, albeit rather slowly as it’s still in its experimental stages. An example of this is the Vestas Wind Turbine (10268).

      Bricks and pieces from the past 6+ decades are still compatible with today’s bricks and pieces. Far less likely to end up in the bottom of the ocean if people reuse them by reselling or passing them down.

      Lego need to get with the times

      Easy there rainbow warrior.

      They have "gotten with the times". Next time you want to mouth off with your incredibly uninformed commentary why don't you take 5 seconds to Google some basic information so you don't sound like a complete tool?

      • The Lego Group recycle 93% of all waste from their manufacturing facilities, including 100% of plastic waste (forecasting a target of zero waste sent to landfill by 2025).
      • They've already begun manufacturing a lot of parts from plant-based plastics (such as sugar cane-derived polyethylene), which is a lot less environmentally-harmful to produce and they're aiming to have all parts sourced from sustainable materials by 2030, thereby completely ceasing production of traditional ABS plastic pieces.
      • TLG reinvest heavily into renewable energy, especially wind power in Germany and the UK, to offset the energy consumption of their production facilities. Since 2018, the energy output from their renewable energy investments is actually greater than the energy consumed by all of their factories, stores and offices.
      • Unlike almost any other toy, Lego pieces have the highest re-usability potential and their high quality means they're easy to wash, sanitize and pass on to others for an incredibly long time, thereby making them far less likely to end up in landfill than your run-of-the-mil Chinese crap that's lucky to last 12 months. There's also a sizable resale market for complete sets (even without the original packaging), which is something rare for most toys in the same price bracket.

    • FrugalNotStingy on 22/08/2020 - 18:53

      DJ also does that with their larger sets. If the set is sent from Myer’s warehouse, they won’t use the electronic tags hence there will not be those wire marks that hold the tags in place.

      I personally had more bad experiences with dented corners/scuffed box with DJ than Myer.

      • Mr Snrub on 23/08/2020 - 14:09

        Whenever I order a large set, it often comes scuffed in some way or form due to poor packaging, sometimes not bubble wrapped at all, loose in the box. DJs is good and offers a discount in return when this happens.

        • SF3 on 23/08/2020 - 14:18

          What’s the process to inform DJ if a LEGO box is damaged/scuffed to get a discount? How much discount do they offer? Just curious, as I thought it’s tough luck when it happens.

        • FrugalNotStingy on 23/08/2020 - 16:04

          Didn’t know that DJ would offer discount for damaged box. Myer did give me a gift card in return for a dented box corner once but I thought it was just a nice gesture from the rep. I don’t think if you go complain every time that happens you would be given a discount/gift card.
