This is my first deal so please go easy.
Just saw this deal after seeing this set unavailable in the DJs sale.
RRP is $750 so this is a saving of 20% or $150.

Referee gets 25% off first order of £20 or more. Referrer gets £10 store credit.
That's a $119 difference there ;)
Not good methmatics
Indeed. I swear I typed a one there.
Its actually $120 more but I don't think many peope actually got one at that price as it sold out so quick.
I would prefer a better deal than 20% but every time Myer, DJ's etc have a sale they are out of stock of this set so I just bit the bullet and bought it.

Really? I'm sure it was available for at least a couple of days. I found out about it early and posted it on a Facebook group and two days later, people were still mentioning they had just managed to snag the deal. Two days is an eternity in ozbargain time
and for bargain lovers looking for an even cheaper option, this old coupon code is still working so brings the price down to $499.98, then you apply the cashback of 5.6% for additional saving of $27.99. Brings the price down $471.99 after cash back for a total discount of $278.01.
*** props to Amar98 and Bluehj88 for gifting me an awesome first post ***

Wow, I'm pretty sure I saw the Liebherr this morning in DJ online sale. Must be really popular set (or they only have limited stock)
I had it in my "bag" on the Djs web site at about 430 this morning ($565 before delivery) but didn't pull the trigger.
It's popular because it contains a tonne of the new control + motor components
Still too high!
Yep. Patience will get you this sub $500.
This will be retired soon?
It was only released recently.
Might work with this?

If I buy this will I ever have sex again? (with someone other than myself)
Yes. Its not Star Wars Lego.
Worst case scenario you can use it it to dig up a corpse for some sexy time ;)
Woah that escalated quickly!
Better pun: that descended quickly!
Yes. Its not Star Wars Lego.
Nah, the Lego City/Creator themes are the bastions of the incels. They inevitably lead to having an entire Lego display city taking up a spare room and from there, it's a downward spiral of brick-based, self-abuse.
Remember kids, say no to "Gateway" Lego sets. Choose the path of Technic, so you can at least learn some basic physics and mechanical engineering principles.
Again?
Its lego, use your imagination
If you can afford to drop that kind of money on lego, you can afford a whore.
Don't buy….save heaps……..Bargain.
Buy… sell for more…. make money…. spend that money on bargains… bargain.
Can't remember Lego were that expensive when I was a child haha!
That's because your parents only bought you the crappy $20 dollar sets.
That's because there'll probably only one generation ever grow up with lego, the next hot lego sets will probably be lawn bowl and nursing home kits.
true, but $600 for some Lego o_O
Plus cashback reward of 5.6% ($33.59944, okay okay it is $33.60), hence - $565.40
My email from cash rewards said $17.
Update: This is correct. Cash back is 3.5% for toys.
Currently building this set and I have not finished so I don't have an opinion yet.
One thing I don't like about it as that for whatever reason LEGO decided to separate all parts into 5 sets of bags instead of 10-12 like they usually do with big sets like this one. So you end up with 5-6 bags for every number (set of bags).
Obviously, it all depends on your pace but personally I find it about annoying because I prefer to spend 1-1.5 hours per set instead of 2-2.5 hours like with this one.
…I find it about annoying…
It's approximately annoying?
Sorry, I meant "a bit annoying".
This or 16TB drive?
This or Apple Watch 5?
Why stress? Get all 3. You will eventually anyways…. right?
yeah :-(
Need to make more money!

Do you pay GST on this? I'm assuming it's delivered from overseas.
Chat advised GST is additional
When do you pay GST? Do you pay it to Customs after the parcel arrives in Australia?
I’m guessing customs would demand import tax too. So if you pay $500, you would pay $50 GST and around $27 for import tax. Cash back is about $17. The total would be about $560.
I cancelled my order. It will be cheaper than $560 soon enough.
Import tax? Thank you for mentioning that.I wasn't aware of that.Not worth the trouble
Wait for local prices to drop.
US prices are very high too
@Wiser: I've purchased on Amazon US, AliExpress, and from several eBay sellers located in Asia and haven't paid import duty or GST before. But nothing is stopping Customs Australia from holding your parcel till you cough up about $77 in taxes:

I need this for reasons.
I have been looking to buy my first technic set for quite some time now. But I reckon this would be technical overkill and price overkill. The simpler mack anthem technic might suffice.
I'm so happy to live in a country where the people call it lego, singular, I would go postal otherwise.
$20 more than the historical low, but still a great price for an epic set.
