Not available in WA, NT or TAS

Not cheap, just factoring in the value of my time and the cost of sourcing the probable missing parts. Sellers are a dime a dozen, if you…

Ultimately, your manager has the right to set performance expectations, even if (you believe) they are misguided, in the same way that you…

Melbourne usually has the best availability of all states, just not for this particular set. NT, WA, TAS have it way worse.

Brickeconomy is unreliable. Also investing in sets isn't nearly as profitable as it was during the Lego Movie and Covid eras. Most modulars…

Probably 90% of the sets that are sold "complete" on Facebook marketplace or Gumtree are actually missing pieces. I'm only willing to pay…

How does that even happen... The stock isn't on the sales floor yet, so they know exactly how much they physically have on hand in the…

Yeah, OnePass is borked. Couldn't handle the load.

20 minutes of trying, still nothing but OnePass "Sorry, we are having some issues retrieving your subscription details at the moment"…

More likely they just didn't have much stock. I could never get past the OnePass errors :/

No, those minifigure values will crash to less than $2.00. They aren't well known characters. It takes 12 months or so before Bricklink…

City is only worth 10c a piece at most. At 650 pieces this set was only worth about $65 to begin with, so not much of a deal.

Decent piece count, but pretty small pieces, and pretty small set overall. Good number of minifigures though. The LCS stores discounted…

Lego's production and distribution costs are only about 15% of revenue, so there is plenty of margin available to offer free shipping. The…

Every wave there are a few sets which have an unusually high RRP for the theme and piece count, and coincidentally are frequently offered…

Order was cancelled as out of stock, so I placed another order, which was shipped... Kmart really need to improve their systems. If they…

They definitely do this for the black friday sets. Theres one or two sets in each Friends and City wave that is given a massively inflated…

The RRP is $180 not $320.

They've done this four times now. Can't sell them even at half price. Garbage sets.

Not sure what is going on lately at Lego Australia, but their pricing has been completely out of touch. They wanted 19c per piece for this…

43 clearance sets available are available in Sydney, 0 in Perth. Sorry sandgropers.

People vastly overestimate the impact of scalpers, mostly because of covid when demand outstripped supply on a larger range of sets. That's…

There's a reason these sets are being discounted. The Hulkbuster's proportions are all wrong, and the table football set is terrible value…

225 is nothing. That would be about 1 per store for Kmart or 1.5 sets per store for BigW. Scalpers might have bought some sets but it's…

I doubt it - it's more likely Amazon just didn't have many in stock. This wasn't a planned promotion for them, they are just price matching…

Lego Australia deliberately over price a set or two each year, which then become the 'deep discounted' sets during black friday sales. The…

First step is to contact them, but if they fail to provide a suitable resolution you can escalate it to your states consumer protection…

If they give you a hard time, remind them Section 32 of the Australian Consumer Law requires them to supply any promotional gifts they…

If you haven't already you can contact Hobby Warehouse / Toys R Us about it. Section 32 of the Australian Consumer Law requires them to…
