Seeing as RRP items are more and more making it to the front page I have decided to join the party. I bring you the Bunnings LEGO-style truck. First of five collectibles that will be released over the coming months.
10 dollerydoos at your local Bunnings.
Mod - Related Deal: Bunnings Block Warehouse (168pcs) $30
No it's okay, the patent or whatever on these bricks expired decades ago. The Chinese companies got in trouble for copying newer sets or trying to pass off as being actual lego, lego logo trademarks, etc. Everything you see on that truck is a copy of classic bricks that are basically public domain nowadays.
LEGO is a brand name though.
And to the OP, a lot of people have alerts for LEGO so if you post non-lego stuff and use the name 'lego' you are certainly going to attract a lot of attention… from people looking for actual LEGO.
And I have alerts for Photo Paper, yet most of the emails I get have nothing to do with photos or even paper. I think the lego collectors will learn to deal with it. Lego style is the only way to accurately describe this, the bricks are near perfect clones of standard lego bricks, except they don't have the word "lego" printed on the nipples.
@AustriaBargain: If you’re after photo paper check there’s out. https://crkphotoimaging.com.au/clearance
Lego style is the only way to accurately describe this…
Or perhaps Lego compatible? There are many ways you can describe interoperability with the original without claiming them to be original.
In either case, they are not claiming that they are genuine Lego. You would never described actual Lego as Lego-style. It is clear that you are referring to a non-genuine copy or compatible product.
I think your comment just triggered their alerts 5 times!
Lego's trademark ninjas
Heh I just imagined them as Lego Ninjagos in my head
Just pull their heads off….
Holey moley, not just Lego's trademark ninja's but OzBargain's own Lego Police will be up in arms! Someone call a waaaaaambulance! :-)
If you really want to trigger them go into a post for a Lego set and post a link for the knock off copy on Aliexpress.
Wow, they even got the Lego pricing right too…
now we'll just have to see they have the lego quality right
Shocking price per part ratio for KO blocks…
And no minifig in a Bunnings uniform, missed opportunity.
They couldn't make the minifig look retired enough.
Why is full priced goods designed as advertising being posted? This in no way constitutes a bargin. Xboxes I can understand given their supply deficit, but come on …
According to mods there are no rules against posting items at full RRP or even Above RRP.
Apparently the community decides what a bargain is with the voting system.
Bargain is in the eye of beholder
incorrect. bargain is in the price below rrp.
Generally negative votes aren't allowed based on the communities opinion, so this isn't typically the case at all.
Edit: I support all negative votes.
"Seeing as RRP items are more and more making it to the front page" is no excuse to add to the pollution.
And as has been said the pricing on this thinly veiled piece of advertising is poor
(added on edit) And a "hello" to the predictably anonymous neg brigade
agreed, the "well everyone else is posting non-bargains" comment pushed me over the line to downvote this deal
It's diluting the purpose of the website.
Perhaps you should create a list of all the items that can and cannot be listed as per their RRP?
So Bunnings sells toys now?
They always did, lawnmower, chainsaw, weedwhacker…
yeah RRP deals are not a bargain
I shall sook off elsewhere tail between my legs
I agree bargains are relative and the relativity comes down to demand and stock. eg. PS5 & Xbox Series X.
I wouldn't consider this a bargain due to it's assumed availability in which case this is a Forum-based PSA.
Maybe it could be considered a bargain if these were collector items or limited stock items, which could be hard to find later on.
yeah my guess is they have millions produced, doubt its limited in any way
i can still order the bunnings warehouse and this
post new articles and ozbargain
means they have HEAPS lolz
Why is this a bargain ?
The Trump hand puppet deal was better value and that got deleted…
How are they allowed to even make this shit?
you can make these but can't call them lego
it wasnt me
This ain't no bargain, and I doubt they will be in low enough supply like the latest consoles.
Awesome! My kids will love these and love collecting them! Another reason to involve my kids into my projects! Thanks OP. Had no idea.
Bunnings doesn't even have trucks
It does have bricks tho.
I have seen them on the road. A quick google images search- https://www.ctilogistics.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/bunn…
Not a bargain. Rubbish product.
So why the upvote?
Fat finger!
No need for name calling
It's a regular truck. Not a rubbish truck.
Ba-dum-tsss!
I like how in the product description it says "Scaled down model of a Bunnings Truck" - is that in case someone is expecting it to be full sized?
well, there is always someone who might say they were mislead into believing that, and then starting a lawsuit. It reminds me of cookie packages in the us. You have the cooke package in your hand, you can feel and see how big it is, but since the picture of the cookie in the package is BIG, they add a little message at the bottom that reads enlarged to show detail (here: https://c.shld.net/rpx/i/s/i/spin/10127449/prod_ec_206301120…)
I've never even seen a Bunnings livery truck 🤔
Its like labelling "Serving Suggestion" on a box of water crackers in case idiots think it also contains brie, cheese knife and wooden serving platter like in the picture.
And here we go again 😀
Considering the blatant advertising they should be paying me $10 to take one.
I remember watching Lego Masters, where the expert said one of the things that need to be considered when making models is the scale. Sure, they're not Lego, but he's right - it shits me that the building is tiny compared to these add-ons (e.g. this truck looks about the same height as the building model). Also annoys me how all the graphics are stickers which are of poor quality - and which span multiple pieces which looks crap.
My sister gave me one of the buildings as a joke Christmas present - and I'm surprised how crappy the quality is… I've bought knock-off Lepin sets from China which are much better than these!
yeah im with you, the best part about lego is the scale. making a truck taller/same height to the building is just not a well executed product range.
Well the LEGO City have the correct scale, but some others may not. For example, BB-8 vs D-O.
I am curious has anyone seen this Bunnings truck on road?
Since when has Lego applied that principle ?
Bunnings don't want to pay royalties to some truck manufacture so they can pocket more for themselves :)
I doubt you would even notice it on road, it's only 140mm high.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
coffee went up my nose lol
That's what I thought. They don't even exist!
The stuff must arrive like magic, in the night. It's almost like the Wonka factory, nobody ever goes in, and NOBODY EVER COMES OUT!
Yes, in NZ - search Google Images (most are these models!).
I bought mine
Not discounted or in hard to find numbers. Not a bargain. Better off in Forum mods
The good news is guys Bunnings Block Warehouse @ $30 is available most stores as well :)
Unlimited supply .
Maybe get the instructions and make a real LEGO version
lol i was thinking that. It'd sure last longer
maybe the masters warehouse would qualify as a collectible?
They are 2 different scales of models
Do they have the millennium falcon copy too ? I would pay $36
Actual Lego is better value than this LOL.
"117 pieces which can be combined with most other brands"
I assume they mean Lepin and the other knock-off brands Kmart keeps stocking to fill the empty shelves.
Or is it compatible with other brands like those that rhyme with Schmego?
Will wait for the lego Bunnings snag house.
18cm width? That's huge, no?
I think she'd agree.
Must be the overall box dimensions, no way it's that big looking at the pieces in the graphic render. Unless they were duplo size lol.
What's the reason for your negative vote?
Since an Xbox at RRP is considered a deal I will upvote this one too. As just like an Xbox these are also often in short supply and I intend on buying one.
Also trigger alert. Some sensitive people may find this comment overly offensive.
but why?
First of 5, what other monstrosities have they cooked up I wonder?
I would love Lego to do Mario characters Brickheadz .
They have the opportunity right now with the Nintendo license they have :)
6 - Bunnings Sausage Slip Up (Where does the onion go? You choose!).
Is that the variety that tries to force you to wear a mask in the carpark or the variety that refuses to wear a mask in the store?
I don't think you are allowed to say "Lego style". Lego's trademark ninjas are about to burst through your windows.
