Australian LEGO Sale: Mid-Year Toy Sale June 2017

June 13, 2017 | 45

It’s been a little quiet on the LEGO sales front here Down Under, but all that is about to change soon as the mid-year toy sales officially kicks off! 

If you’re new to toy sales here in Australia, the mid-year stocktake sale window is the second biggest toy sale (after Christmas) in the country and many retailers go nuts discounting their LEGO and offering incentives such as laybys to Christmas with the hopes of getting people to do their Xmas shopping early and avoid the frenzy at the end of the year.

Naturally, it’s one of the best times to buy LEGO as well! As always, I’ll be compiling all the sales and offers into this post for ease of use, so check back to this link or follow me on Facebook to learn about new sales and deals. You can also find this post on the top navigation bar on the blog!

Myer have officially kicked off the 2017 mid-year toy sale with the launch of their catalogue. Check it out below for all the details!

Big W (Catalogue link 22 June – 12 July In-store. Online now)

Big W have a monster of a LEGO sale and this is quite possibly one of the better sales this time round. Big W’s catalogue is massive, and pretty much covers every major LEGO theme. The great thing about the sale is that a wide variety of sets are discounted close to 30%, with some even approaching the 40% off mark which is sweet.

Big W’s 2017 toy sale runs from 22 June to 12 July in-store, however I’ve just been alerted that their sale has started online today!

In terms of exclusives, Big W are once again trotting out the SHIELD Helicarrier for $475. I suspect that this will be the final appearance of the Helicarrier at Big W before it gets retired. Big W are also flexing 60162 City Jungle Airdrop Helicopter for $198 (RRP $230) which is an all right discount.

The other major highlight in the catalogue is 71042 The Silent Mary which is discounted to $249 (RRP $350) representing savings of almost 30%. I guess LEGO, like Disney are cutting their losses with this ship after the lackluster performance of the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Here are my top 10 choices of what to buy at the Big W sale in no particular order. I can bet you that the Creator sets & Silent Mary are going to sell out REALLY quickly.

LEGO.com [AUS/UK]

In a bit of an unexpected move, LEGO.com are joining in the toy-sale frenzy. The Australian online LEGO shop has a bunch of sets reduced at 30% off RRP – mostly Nexo Knights and Angry Birds sets.

If you’re in the UK, the Sales & Deals are almost identical as well.

In Australia, it’s almost impossible to find Angry Birds sets out in the wild (except for a few well-stocked Toyworlds), so if you missed out on them and want some LEGO versions of those anthropomorphic birds from that smartphone game… 30% isn’t too shabby, especially once you factor in VIP points as well.

Myer (Catalogue link 13 June – 16 July)

UPDATE (15/6): Myer has 20% off all LEGO till Sunday, 18 June 2017. This time, the 75159 Death Star is included in the sale as well, so if you’re thinking of picking one up, now’s probably a pretty good time. With the Anniversary Code, the UCS Death Star goes down to $619.96 which is about 22.5% off.

The ANNIVERSARY codes (see above) also apply, so be sure to add them if you’re buying anything!

Myer’s stocksale sale is not the best this year as they’ve all but done away with blanket 20% off sales. This time, they have 20% off a selection of LEGO sets, which is decent but nothing to shout about.

The highlight of their catalogue is the much-anticipated 10255 Modular Assembly Square which is their pseudo-exclusive* which is on sale for $320 (down from $400). Other big ticket items include:

• 10214 Tower Bridge – $320 (RRP $400)
• 10253 Big Ben – $280 (RRP$ 350)
• 10251 Modular Brick Bank – $200 (RRP $250)
• 75159 UCS Death Star – $700 (RRP $800) [only a 12% discount]
• 60098 City Heavy Haul Train – $200 (RRP $250)

*the set is also available at the Dreamworld LEGO Store/Chadstone LEGO Store so it’s not a true exclusive. 

There’s also a selection of LEGO Batman Movie sets at 20% off which include 70909 Batcave Break-In, 70906 The Joker Notorious Lowrider, 70907 Killer Croc Tail Gator, 70908 The Scuttler and 70905 The Batmobile. 20% is not great, especially for sets that they’re trying to clear. I’d only buy LEGO Batman Movie sets at 30% off or greater.

Don’t forget that if you’re buying online, do apply the following discount codes which are still valid for additional discounts. Yes, these codes will also apply to the Assembly Square, which effectively makes it 25% off which is a bloody ripper of a deal.

• ANNIVERSARY10 – $10 off $60 spend
• ANNIVERSARY15 – $15 off $80 spend
• ANNIVERSARY20 – $20 off $100 spend

Expired: That said, TODAY (13 June 2017) is a great time to buy LEGO from Myer as they have a daily deal as part of their stocktake sale where you can get 25% off all LEGO, except for LEGO Minifigures, Creator Expert Sets, the LEGO Death Star and LEGO LED lights.

Be sure to combine them with the following discount codes to make it a really fantastic deal.

• ANNIVERSARY10 – $10 off $60 spend
• ANNIVERSARY15 – $15 off $80 spend
• ANNIVERSARY20 – $20 off $100 spend

And yes, this discount also applies to the new June 2017 LEGO sets (Cars 3, Friends, Nexo Knights, Speed Champions & Star Wars) so it’s a great time to pick up some of the newer sets. Not all of them are listed online but you should be able to find them in-store.

Here are some highlights. Don’t forget to factor in an additional $20 off from the use of the ANNIVERSARY20 code.

• 75095 UCS Tie Fighter – $224.95 (RRP $300)
• 41318 Heartlake Hospital – $105 (RRP $140)
• 41317 Friends Sunshine Catamaran – $75 (RRP $100)
• 75993 Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team – $112.46 (RRP $149.95)
• 75882 Ferrari FXX K & Development Center – $60 (RRP $80)
• 75178 Jakku Quadjumper – $67.46 (RRP $90)
• 75182 Republic Fighter Tank – $33.71 (RRP $45)
