    Thanks I was going to wait for weeks or months for discount from local stores but now I can get this at release.

  • Cheers OP, what's the go with Zavvi is it a Monday only deal?

  • +1

    I remember being annoyed I missed out on the older 76023. Not this time, thank you OP! Got one :)

  • +1

    Original set rrp was $270. Picked it up back then on sale around $199. New set too expensive, even @270

  • -1

    Damn I paid full price a few weeks ago

    • +10

      This isn't OzSuckers.

  • cool, got one. Thanks!
    How long does shipping usually take?

    • +1

      It varies a lot. Often two weeks but I'm still waiting on a Cat I ordered Oct 8th.

  • I bank with westpac/mastercard who add about a 3% fx surcharge for USD—>AUD, so the price ends up nearer to AU$280.

    Recommendations for better conversion options?

    • +1

      Potentially the Coles Rewards MasterCard. That's what I decided on last night.
      You can go to the Finder website to look for cards with 0% international conversion. I grabbed a MasterCard because Amazon now charges 0.5% extra for Visa cards. (And my ANZ Rewards Visa cut its points value massively in Aug.)

      • +1

        ING's saving's card also has no conversion fees. 28 degrees.

    • Bankwest credit card, or Citibank debit card are also 0% conversion. Citibank is also quite competitive on the underlying rate.

    • Commbank Ultimate awards card has 0 international transaction fee and 0 monthly fee if you spend over $2500 a month, if not it's like $35 a month.

  • Well I was going to wait for a retail sale, but this'll do, nice find.

  • I honestly thought it was just a re-release of the prior. Thanks for highlighting it has 200 extra pieces.

    • I agree with your first point its a suckers buy :)

      • +1

        I would agree if you had alot of 76023 lying around waiting for the prices to rise further as its a fairly hard to find set.

        This just gives people the opportunity to buy one if they missed out the on the first release, plus the box art doesn't make it look like a cartoon.

    • Looking at reviews it has a few improvements that add up to a better kit imo

  • +3

    The rate on 28 degrees is $269.91 if anyone is interested

  • how long do you reckon it'll take to arrive?

  • You absolute legend! Thanks for sharing 🙏

  • -1

    High yield investment

  • Anyone pay the extra for tracking?

    • +3

      You get the tracking either way, so don't be a chump.

      • not lately, the standard shipping doesnt include tracking. :(

        • Since when? My recent Porsche 911 included tracking and I chose the $2 shipping option, as has every other Zavvi US order.

          • +1

            @DevGuy: my orders were shipped on the 27/10/2021. there were no email updates. no tracking at all.

            • @PissLUR: I doubt they've made a change because all Aus Post parcel post is tracked, and it hits Aus Post once it gets into the country. I ordered the Tumbler with $2 shipping and will let you know if I get tracking.

            • @PissLUR: As expected I have Tumbler tracking for $2.

  • +1

    Will buy if my odds win today

  • Can someone please confirm how this one is different from the older 76023?

    • +1

      If you have the original I wouldn't bother getting this one. It's more or less the same.

      • Except it’s bigger, has a stand and 200 more pieces..

        • -1

          The stand is ugly and I wouldn't use it. Nor do I use the 89 batmobile stand. Actually I do use a WB stand for an edgy angle, otherwise it looks best without a stand.
          It's only slightly longer and IIRC from watching comparisons, it's because the rear tyres are bigger. Side by side it isn't appreciably bigger.
          The piece count is not relevant when the cars, side by side, have far more similarity than difference. IMHO.

          But hey if you think it's worth owning both more power to you. I don't have the original so I'm getting this one, but I wouldn't if I had the original.

  • +5

    $120 USD for Porsche 911 Lego 10295 is a good deal too.
    https://us.zavvi.com/toys-lego/lego-creator-expert-porsche-9…

    • +1

      Great find!

    • Have I missed this deal? Looks like $200+ AU

      • +1

        Apply code Porsche911 in checkout. Just worked for me.

        • +1

          Weird, worked once I logged in

  • Shipping kills it for me

    • Joke post?

      Shipping is $2 for most of us.

  • Don't really like it

  • +1

    Cheers! I got both the Batmobile and the Porsche.

    • Is it still $2 usd delivery when you order both together ?

      • +1

        I ordered separately as only one promo code allowed.

  • Cheers! Got a couple

  • Argh, never would've bought this, if not for Mum buying me the 1989 Batmobile set just last month for my birthday. Got to have both of the most iconic (IMO) Batman film cars, not just one or the other.

    So yeah, this discount makes it juuust acceptable to buy. So cheers, OP.

    • Batwing will be next on the list

      • Ha, the thought did cross my mind but I'm strictly sticking with the cars (for now).

        • +1

          batwing is hard to display anyway. The shape of it takes up too much room.

  • Great discount on the RRP.

    I was about to complete the checkout on PayPal, but when comparing it to the 1989 Batmobile set… similar price but twice the amount of pieces and better attention to detail…it seemed a bit overpriced

    • +1

      I am on the same boat…I like the 1989 Batmobile shape way more than this…but I am just thinking should I also collect this set since I also have the Batwing?

      • Too many good Lego sets out to buy ones 'just to have' imo!

  • Theres a new batman technic set coming too, looks like the orange chevy but 3 times the price - https://www.lego.com/en-au/product/the-batman-batmobile-4212…

    • +1

      Chevy 579 pieces, batmobile 1360 pieces

  • there is a AUS deal as well: $329 + free shipping, doesnt work out too much more than US after conversion.

    https://www.zavvi.com.au/toys-lego/lego-dc-batman-batmobile-…

    • +2

      They basically post from the same place UK…quite a bit of a different between $329 and $270ish.

      • And it will be sourced from the UK even if you order on Zavvi AU. Also yeah as above dunno why you think a $60 difference isn't "much more".

  • Very good price, bought one. :)

    Thanks OP.

  • The mrs won’t let me buy one. Sad

  • Can't find Australia in the countries drop down. Anyone have a workaround

  • +4

    Anyone else finding the US Zavvi no longer letting you select Australia for shipping? Maybe loophole has been closed and Zavvi AU $329 the only option now?

    • Looks like it…. 😕

    • Yeah I just noticed that as well.

    • -1

      Looks like it.

      Getting really tired of the Australia tax on legos.

      USA $229USD/ $306AUD
      Canada $329CAD/ $355AUD
      Germany €229/$355 AUD
      Australia $399AUD

  • Not expired, code still works, got all the way to payment method.

    • How did you select deliverery country to Australia?

      • I have a Zavvi US account. Just login, ensure region is US (to avoid redirect to Zavvi.com.au), and checkout. Be sure to add the promo code as it isn't automatically added anymore (it was auto-added yesterday, IIRC).

        EDIT: Just tried checkout and Australia is no longer in the list of countries on checkout. Perhaps Zavvi are now blocking Aussies from using the US website, forcing you to change region which takes you to the higher priced Zavvi AU site.

        Can anyone else confirm?

        • That's what I am seeing too "forcing you to change region which takes you to the higher priced Zavvi AU site"

          • @JCRALLYART: Disaster . Back to overpriced rrp.

            I wonder if the lego group told then to do this to keep their suppliers deal.

            • +1

              @tm32: Could it be something to do with GST? Never buy anything from the AU site but I assume it would be GST inclusive.

  • I just tested and the payment screen has Australia removed so pretty sure loophole definitely closed.

    • boo.

  • Hmmm…Ozbargain effect. I've been ordering from Zavvi US for a while now and this is the first time that they restricted posting to Australia.

  • Madman did this a while back with their so-called Evangelion "Ultimate Edition." They want $520 for something you can get shipped and all from the UK for $380. But since they're all in cahoots, once they found out people were buying from them instead they enforced a block on any orders to Australia, something they've never done before.

    It's all about money and f**k Australians.

    Glad some of us got in on this though, just to make sure Zavvi AU miss out on some unearned profit.

  • I heard Kmart has it for $299

  • Nice, this’ll only drop further.

  • Has anyone's order shipped yet?

    • Not for me. Status is: Awaiting Shipment with the Est Dispatch Date: 02 November 2021…. not sure what is going on tbh. Its not like the item was on backorder

      • Same as above, I wonder if they'll get cancelled?

        • +4

          Just sent the chat a message, they said that my order will ship in the next 24 hours.

          • @zmcgr1: awesome! fingers crossed everyone's orders ship over the weekend as well!

          • @zmcgr1: lol, I was about to ask if anyone received, glad they shipping soon if your chat conversation applies to us. Probably lots of Aussies are on the list and they need to fulfill the orders :D

          • @zmcgr1: Thanks mate, I just sent them a message before I saw your message. Hope we all get our orders.

  • +3

    Update for those who got an order in! Just got a shipping notification:

    "Your order has been shipped and will be with you shortly!

    Delivery is estimated between
    Fri 12 Nov - Tue 16 Nov"

    Happy days.

    • Same, just got the message.

    • AYYYE LETS GOOO!!! I was about to say the same as I just got the email too.

      Moral dilemma: purchase from Kmart during sale and resell? To scalp or not to scalp is the question. >:D

      All jokes aside hope everyone enjoys the set. I got it with the tracked shipping which provides a link to FedEx. Let me know if the $2 shipping offers that as well or similar tracking. Maybe useful in the future.

      Happy days.

      • Yeah, the cheap shipping gets a Tracking Number and link to FedEx also. Guess all that's left is compare how long it takes to deliver (but might be a bit hard depending on where it's delivering to).

        • Argh I paid for the $8USD shipping and it didn’t come with a tracking number wtf?!

        • Lol fair enough, I think I'm just dumb and paid a little extra since at this point they distributing all AU orders by the looks of it, and providing the same tracking link.

          Now I have to scalp to make back the money and then some 😈

          I wonder why they would charge a difference, perhaps to make people like myself fall for it. 😫😅

        • I got the Batmobile with tracked shipping ($8) and the Porshce with cheap shipping ($2). Both dispatched same time with same Fedex tracking. I will find out if there is any difference with delevery time - probably not.

    • Same, got shipping notification at 5.44pm!

  • So, these are getting shipped from the UK, huh?

    • I noticed that aye. I looked up the codes and distribution centre location. I think I should've paid $2 since a massive shipment is arriving to Australia. Glad to be around Sydney air port, should not take too long.

      Additionally, I saw on Zavvi website there is an option to ship to AU on their UK site and change the currency to USD or any other. May help in the future. I guess we will have to wait and see.

      • Have you received your order yet?

        • Nah bro, last tracking notification I received was it is in the country at Sydney Au on Sunday 14th Nov 2021 18:26:00.

          Maybe Au Post is got a problem or something but it feels like it is taking forever. Maybe too many online shopping with click Frenzy and some "early Black Friday sales".
