I purchased the LEGO Saturn V from MYER Maroochydore (Sunshine Coast, QLD) on Friday 20 Oct. for $135.96 after 20% toy sale discount ending Sunday 22 Oct. (regular price $169.95).
Six (6) in stock at time of purchase. Other MYER shops showed stock as well.
Check in store as this item is not listed online.
Checkout operator should be able to give stock levels of stores.
Also they can do an online order. While it doesn’t appear online for the public it appears on their internal system which you can then with staff assistant order from.
$169.99 at Lego Shop, but has been out of stock more often than not. One of the rare lego models that I've paid full price for.
Yeah I got one 10% off at toys r us and thought that was great.
Yeah didnt wanna risk it and paid full price same as you. Got scammed by Lego on their BS 'exclusive' $400 minecraft set only to see it a week later everywhere and going for 300 at shopforme. Really hate lego as a company
It's not rare. It's a new release, so fairly constrained stock, but Lego doesn't make limited drops. Even special runs and UCS typically have a 3-4 year shelf life, so everyone will be able to eventually get this, even on sale.
Rare as in normally I only buy Lego when it has a discount of 20% or higher.
However, currently this model is definitely hard to find and as a 'Lego Ideas' set, so I'm not sure if the standard rules apply for shelf life.
According to the Chatswood store, there's no stock in NSW. They wouldn't let me purchase at the $135 price today even if I was willing to wait for stock.
Good luck, all the other states!
Found one at Brisbane Carindale but I think it was the last one there. Apparently Brisbane City store may have a few left in stock.
gona be a free for all tomorrow lol
Plenty of us walking around the aisles.
No physical stock in Brisbane City but were able to place home delivery orders.
Carindale might have some stock, unless our orders are being allocated from there. Just wait and see if it shows up now. Hopefully Myer is better set up than David Jones but it would have been so much easier if these sets had been available online.
Home delivery orders from which store?
@feihong: I called the Maroochydore store just after 10 AM this morning to check if they still had any. The woman said they had none left in the store but they were still available for home delivery so she placed an order for me over the phone. Same price with free home delivery.
@feihong:
They got me to place the order on an ipad instore at Brisbane City. I thought she said stock was available at Carindale so assumed it was being taken from that allocation. Not sure how that would work if it's already on the shop floor.
Brisbane City did say at 10am that they might still have some in the loading dock but that they couldnt be sure. Asked us all to come back in an hour and see what was brought up! Couldn't put any on hold or create a wait list for those of us in there early.
I was really hoping to pick up a set today as it's my birthday and my daughter is still in hospital after two weeks. Thought it would be good for both of us but the stars haven't quite aligned.
@Emeister: I called Carindale Store this morning and they located 12 in their loading dock. I reserved 1 and I’ve just picked up in store. Good luck (hopefully they’re not all allocated from the home delivery orders)
@feihong:
Thank you.
Just got confirmation of delivery at home from Aus Post.
Wonder if I could throw a sickie tomorrow ;0)
No one in Victoria seems to know anything. Can someone with a successful purchase provide the Myer stock code so we can quote to the staff. Thanks in advance.

Awesome set, worth RRP.
Legend! None what so ever in Vicco Myer stores, called Maroochy and very nice lady sold me their last one and free postage to my door :)
She said it was odd that 4 or 5 people had come in for the others within the space of an hour of each other!
Cheers again for the post
Chaddy's Lego store gets stock in a fair bit, you'd be paying RRP but its worth it IMO.
I bought 2 from the Lego store online before they sold out. Both arrived in damaged boxes. Sold one for a tidy profit , built the other.
This is possibly one of the best sets you will find. Lego customer service said they will become available again next year.
Good deal if you grab one.
I did exactly the same thing, worked well
Blah wish I could get the online.
I might be getting two. One to be assembled, and one to keep in the box for show.
Was in Myer this morning. Apparently stock is slim. People that were calling in whilst I was there were having details taken down with those in our queue having the advantage. As it’s limitd stock it never made it to the online store.
Good luck for those still looking!
None in ACT neither store received stock. :(
all out booragoon and perth city in wa
Guess they didn't get the memo about flat earth and nasa lies !
I plan playing the fake moon landing with my son with this. See son no stars in the background. The flag is waving in the breeze.
Teach them the tricks young they won't be fooled when there old ;)
Perth WA has 3 on hold and 5 'lost' so despite what other stores day about them having stock don't believe it
Lost is probably just a way of saying staff have put them aside. Well that’s my suspicion.
Mine according to the tracking is awaiting pickup.
Just letting others know that may have ordered it instore like I did. Well it was delivered by Australia Post today after we ordered it from Myer Chermside on Sunday. Didn't think we would have a chance of getting it but Myer actually came through this time :) Son will be so happy to get that as a Xmas present.
Ditto, the item has been dispatched, happy days!!
Mine was delivered today as well. That was quick :D
I had been waiting patiently for lego.com.au to have these back in stock so thanks for the tip-off and especially to my wife who went into the Maroochydore store (Sunday) and managed to get the staff to order one. Australia Post delivered today… looks amazing and can't wait to build it!
Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed
Do you know which store has stock?
