Australian LEGO Sales August 2014

August 18, 2014 By Jay 5 Comments

August has been a quiet month in Australia which is understandable since June and July were pretty full on with the Australian Toy Sale. With the new City Arctic, Guardians of the Galaxy, Friends and Star Wars sets starting to show up in toy sections across the country, a good LEGO sale would be very nice. Toys R Us have snuck some LEGO deals into their latest catalogue but it’s nothing great.

LEGO Modulars Myer

This is not a sale but I thought I’d share this. I was at the Emporium Melbourne’s Mykids (Myer’s fancy toy section) and noted that they had Creator Modular Buildings, namely the Palace Cinema and Town Hall. This is notable because Modular Buildings (except the Parisian Restaurant) were previously only available at David Jones and independent toy stores like ToyWorld. Additionally, they also had tons of City Town Squares, Sopwith Camels and Volkswagen T1 Camper Vans.

This is fantastic news because Myer discounts their LEGO a lot more frequently than David Jones. Would be interesting to see if other retailers like Target, Big W and Kmart eventually get modulars as well.

Now, on to proper Australian sales news.

Toys R Us ( Catalogue Link 20 August – 2 September)

Toys R Us LEGO Catalogue August 2014

Tucked away at the back of a Babies R Us catalogue is a small selection of LEGO sets discounted by 20%. It’s a mix of old and new Star Wars and City sets.

New sets on sale:

  • LEGO City Arctic 60034 Artic Helicrane – $32 (save $8)
  • LEGO Star Wars Rebels 75048 The Phantom – $32 (save $8)

And that’s pretty much it in terms of new sets on sale. The other sets are pretty uninteresting, having been on sale so many times previously.

  • LEGO City 60002 Fire Truck – $24 (save $6)
  • LEGO City 60017 Flatbed Truck – $24 (save $6)
  • LEGO City 60043 Prisoner Transporter – $24 (save $6)
  • LEGO City 60046 Tow Truck – $24 (save $6)
  • LEGO City 60058 SUV with Watercraft – $24 (save $6)
  • LEGO City 60020 Cargo Truck – $32 (save $8)
  • LEGO City 60060 Auto Transporter – $32 (save $8)
  • LEGO City 60003 Fire Emergency – $40 (save $10)
  • LEGO City 60044 Mobile Police Unit  – $40 (save $10)
  • LEGO City 60045 Police Patrol  – $40 (save $10)
  • LEGO Star Wars 75039 V-Wing Starfighter – $32 (save $8)
  • LEGO Star Wars 75040 General Grievous Wheel Bike – $32 (save $8)
  • LEGO Star Wars 75041 Vulture Droid – $32 (save $8)

You also get 2 LEGO Star Wars Microfighters for $25, which is nothing to shout about.

That’s it for August. Hopefully there’ll be more sales to come. Watch this space for more news and deals!

    Not sure if there are many readers from Adelaide, but the Lego specialist shop Toy Corner at Dernancourt is currently having a 15% off storewide sale to celebrate their birthday. It’s been going for about a week, and ends this Sunday 31st August.

      Thanks for the update! Hope that Adelaideans get to read this. I’ve been to Toy Corner a few times back when they were at Pelican Plaza and they were pretty cool.

        No worries, their new store is great too! Just noticed on their Facebook page that they’ve extended the 15% off sale until this Saturday (6/9/14).

One of the rarest LEGO Architecture sets - 21021 M One of the rarest LEGO Architecture sets - 21021 Marina Bay Sands! 🇸🇬 

Singapore celebrates their National Day on 9 August, and to mark the occasion, I've dug into my vault to showcase the Marina Bay Sands, one of Singapore's contemporary architectural landmarks! 

Released in 2014, it's notorious for being one of the most sought-after Architecture sets, because only 10,000 copies were made.

To make matters worse, they sold exclusively in Asia in countries like Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, and the Marina Bay Sands gift shop!

Thankfully, LEGO released a newer 21057 Singapore Skyline earlier this year which also includes the Marina Bay Sands, but this is a relic from an era where LEGO had regional exclusives in their portfolio.

Happy National Day, Singapore!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing @little.ongs play with 10305 Lion Knights' Castle, which I've conveniently left in an easy to access spot in the house. 

While yes, this set is big and meant for adults, the playability and story-telling is so native to kids that it's a great set to share with your kids if you have any.

👑 Having THE definitive LEGO Castle being ruled by Queen Lionne also sends a great message to little girls and a fantastic celebration of #lego90years 

10305 Lion Knights' Castle launches today for VIPs and if you're lucky enough to be in the position to pick one up, I hope you enjoy and savour every moment of the build of what is quite possibly my favourite set of 2022.
