    From June 16th online / June18th in store.

    • first in line on 09/06/2020 - 10:37

      where does it say June 18th in store?

    • djkelly69 on 09/06/2020 - 10:43

      A lot of these say 'Online Only' in the catalogue, so wouldn't expect to see them in store.

      Those are the correct dates for the toy sale itself however.

    • Taegukgi on 09/06/2020 - 10:24

      All these are online deals only. If you want one, I suggest you be ready on the Big W website at 12.01am 16/6.

        Also consider checking on Amazon. I've noticed they often lower their prices to match the large department stores's sales prices of Lego - if they have stock.
        Anyway, worthwhile checking if Big W sells out - especially if Prime member (free shipping - noting all the listed items would be free shipping whether Prime member or not)

      • CaptainCoolio on 09/06/2020 - 17:15

    Millennium Falcon has been as low as +- $840 before… so not a great deal.

    • Miami Mall Alien on 09/06/2020 - 13:38
      +6

      Those deals were a long, long time ago when the economy, the Australian dollar and global supply chains looked rather different.

      There hasn't been a non-RRP deal on the UCS Falcon in 8 months. $999 is the best price that has been seen on this side of 2020, so yes, it's a deal.

      • RetroMetro on 09/06/2020 - 19:48

        The UCS star destroyer was about $880 the other day though

        • Miami Mall Alien on 09/06/2020 - 21:30
          +1

          Apples and oranges. Different UCS and flagship sets will follow different pricing trends and have different life spans (see here for some comparisons).

          The UCS Star Destroyer has a much lower piece count compared to the UCS Falcon (4,784 vs 7,541) and a much lower RRP ($1099 vs $1300), so $880 for the Star Destroyer works out to a measly 20% off RRP, which for the UCS Falcon would give you a price of $1,040, which would still be more than the $999 dollars on offer from BigW, hence still making this price a worthy deal, especially since there haven't been any UCS Falcon deals from any major bricks & mortar or online retailers in ages.

            @Miami Mall Alien: It may well be the last chance to get a good deal off the RRP for the UCS Falcon before it retires according to retiring sets its at medium risk. Even at full RRP its out of stock everywhere with ebay prices above RRP. Since the 2017 release its been out for 24 months and the last UCS falcon was out for 30 months before being retired and we all know what happened to the price of the UCS Falcon after that.

              Since the 2017 release its been out for 24 months and the last UCS falcon was out for 30 months before being retired

              You're a little bit off there.

              The original 2007 UCS Millennium Falcon was released in July, 2007 and production ended on October 30th, 2009. That's 28 months.

              The 75192 Falcon is actually coming up on three years in production (32 months thus far), which is rather unexpected and something I didn't think would happen, though it has definitely reached its maximum historical low as 36% off RRP is universally the maximum discount sets of this size ever receive.

              Stock is definitely getting harder to come by, especially since COVID-related Lego shortages became commonplace and eBay resellers are already charging 10% over RRP.

              • RetroMetro on 11/06/2020 - 00:03

                @Miami Mall Alien: Yeah maybe after covid-19 or black friday a good deal may pop up.

                Also random question do you use a stand with your millennium Falcon?

                • Miami Mall Alien on 11/06/2020 - 00:58

                  @RetroMetro:

                  Also random question do you use a stand with your millennium Falcon?

                  Yeah I ended up getting an acrylic display stand off eBay, to position it at a 70-degree angle so I could put it on a fairly tall and wide shelf in a glass display cabinet I have. It just barely squeezes into it.

                  You can also build your own all-Lego Falcon display stands from instructions online or even buy them as kits off eBay and other places, but transparent acrylic stands just look a lot cleaner and less conspicuous.

                  If you're not going to be suspending your UCS Falcon from the ceiling and/or doing some variation of the very popular, Millennium Falcon display case coffee table, not having the Falcon on a vertically-oriented stand severely limits your options as to where you can place the set as the footprint is just too massive to fit on most shelves, so you have to basically have it on a dining table, a large counter or on the very top of a bookshelf, where it probably won't look that great.

                  Still, I highly recommend the 75192 Falcon and I was initially a bit skeptical of it and actually favoured buying some older UCS sets on the resale market over the Falcon.

                  • RetroMetro on 11/06/2020 - 10:44

                    @Miami Mall Alien: Yeah I got a stand for mine as well. I bricklinked eifferman or however you spell it 😂. But yeah the thing takes up too much room without a stand and puts it in a good posing position. It's a shame Lego didn't include a stand cost me an additional $70

    • Watto23 on 10/06/2020 - 08:28

      Well the more the scalpers buy up themselves the more they can sell at inflated prices cause they hold all the stock. Its a shitty thing to do really. I saw one person buy 28 Y wings from Myer (on Ebay) when they came back into stock.
      Huge difference between people who buy 2, one to build and one to keep new and people buying up so much stock they deny others the opportunity to buy it and instead have to pay inflated prices, because the scalpers wait til midnight to then add 20 or 30 to their cart to buy.

      The Star Wars helmets are being sold for $140 on eBay! Personally though if people didn't buy at those prices and just ignored the FOMO, then the scalpers wouldn't have such a good market.

    • neirboca on 10/06/2020 - 10:51

    Is the Death Star worth getting? Presume it'll retire soon. Has lots of cool playability and fun scene recreations. But $599 is a lot to spend. I got the Millenium Falcon so dont have an issue with a big spend. Kind of leaning towards the Hogwarts Castle over the Death Star but wonder if I'll regret not getting it.

    • RetroMetro on 11/06/2020 - 00:12
      +1

      Yeah death star is pretty good for $599 especially considering what others on eBay sell for. It's not bad.

      For me personally I try avoid buying brand new big sets I usually wait for used ones to pop up on the market. I try to save as much money. For example I bought the 2008 death star for $350 used and I am really happy with it. I also got the UCS Falcon for $420 used. It takes time cleaning that's the only issue but worth saving the hundreds of dollars!

    • Miami Mall Alien on 11/06/2020 - 01:13

      Presume it'll retire soon.

      Doubtful.

      The original 10188 Death Star, first released in 2008, still holds the record for the longest production run (89 months) by a pretty huge margin, and it's successor, this currently-available 75159 Death Star is already at 39 months in production, making it the longest-lived, current UCS set.

      No one is quite sure when Lego will retire it, as the Death Stars have been the biggest anomaly out of all of Lego's themes and flagship sets that have bucked every normal Lego set's life cycle with regards to pricing, retirement and availability.

      I'd wager it's going to be around for sometime and even if it's retired, an updated model will be released in short order afterwards, in the same manner that it replaced the original Death Star as they're quite popular with kids, they have endless play value (a rarity for bigger, complex UCS sets) and they are arguably the most iconic sets in the entire Star Wars theme, which also have the largest assortment of minifigs of any Star Wars set, many of them very hard to find in other sets.

      Is the Death Star worth getting?

      It's a very fun set, especially if you have kids, with a lot of very animated interiors with tons of play features and the amount of minifigs and rare/useful pieces included alone justify the cost but it absolutely does not go together with the rest of the Star Wars UCS collection of static models of predominantly spacecraft like the Slave I, Y-Wing, Millennium Falcon, Star Destroyer, Snowspeeder, Tantive IV, etc. It's just not and never has been a UCS set, save for the UCS badging slapped on the box (the same goes for the Assault on Hoth and Ewok Village).

      If you're going to start building up a UCS collection to put on permanent display with proper stands, lighting kits and additional money invested into display cabinets/shelves, I would skip the Death Star.

      If you want to include it as part of some kind of large, Star Wars-themed diorama with other play-oriented, non-UCS sets to make some miniature Lego Star Wars set piece, then it would probably work quite well, minus the scale being quite off in relation to other sets. It's also a great set to re-purpose into other MOCs.

        cool thanks for the feedback. My kids are 2 and 4yrs old so way too young to get into Star Wars and understand. Perhaps in around 4 years time the older one will be ready. But it is a lot to sink into one set. Might get 3-5 other sets instead.

      • popsiee on 11/06/2020 - 19:39

        Suggest you look at he data provided at the WS you provided where they state high risk for retirement for Death Star and I agree lol .

        • Miami Mall Alien on 11/06/2020 - 21:47

          If you clicked on that link you'd see there's absolutely nothing concrete to back up that assertion:

          In general, sets in Ultimate Collector Series have about 2 to 4 years lifespan. 75159 Death Star was released in October 2016 and it’s in the market for about 3 and a half years. So it is very possible for this set to reach the end of its lifespan.

          They make that exact statement, word-for-word, on their site for every single article discussing a particular set's potential retirement date.

          Every single popular Lego set is currently showing as "out of stock" on the Lego S@H store and has been since about March when most nations went into pandemic-related lockdowns and Lego experienced astronomical demand; that has nothing to do with a particular set's likelihood of retirement.

          At best, the Lego S@H site will list sets as "Retiring soon" a few months prior to official retirement announcements, but even that can vary quite a bit and it's definitely not a hard-and-fast rule that Lego adhere to strictly.

          Anyone in the Lego AFOL/enthusiast community who makes claims like "X set will retire in Y amount of months" is basing such predictions purely on their crystal ball and nothing else.

          I didn't post a link to Retiringsets.com because they've been a proven oracle of insider Lego knowledge in the past, I simply wanted to link to that graph of the production runs of various UCS sets, showing the extraordinarily long length of time that the original 10188 Death Star was in production for.

          IF we see a pattern emerge with the 75192 Millenium Falcon retiring after reaching 30 months in-production, thereby mirroring the first 10179 Millennium Falcon's production-run (though it's technically surpassed that already given it's been in production for 32 months) and/or the 75252 Star Destroyer retiring after roughly 6 years in production just like it's predecessor from 2002 (the 10030 Star Destroyer), then perhaps this will be a pattern that Lego will stick to for current and future UCS re-releases like the 75159 Death Star, in which case, it'll have to be around for another 4 years before being discontinued to equal the original Death Star's lengthy run. The 75244 Tantive IV is another one to keep an eye on in comparison to its two earlier predecessors.

          Right now however, there just haven't been enough re-releases of flagship UCS sets like these in order to have any frame of reference for what's a normal length of time for them to remain in production.

          Lego seem to be operate on a case-by-case basis when it comes to these flagship sets and popular, best-selling sets are much, much more likely to remain in production for longer.

            @Miami Mall Alien: https://retiringsets.com/lego-retiring-soon/

            I just went by this Info but I wouldn't advice people if they like appreciation to go near this one or any themed sets that are always reprinted or with slight tweaks . Plenty of LEGO themes that are not in that boat or maybe not yet . Looks like a great build so LEGO will probably keep this one going with another number in the future .

              @popsiee:

              I just went by this Info

              Yeah, as I said, that is based on nothing. They don't have an official source from Lego who explicitly told Retiringsets.com that the 75159 Death Star will retire on X date. It's not listed as "Retiring soon" on the Lego S@H store. Anyone's guess is as good as theirs.

              if they like appreciation to go near this one or any themed sets that are always reprinted or with slight tweaks .

              That's precisely my point. Even if it is retired, it will inevitably be re-released fairly quickly because the Star Wars theme has always had a Death Star model in its line-up since 2008 and because it has been consistently popular.

          That's the best approach. I was a tool and dismantled the entire second half into a pile to start with. Mistakes were made.

    If people want the entire data set, I am happy to paste it somewhere.

    I know that starting price varies depending on where you shop, pieces vary per set and some models are exclusives, however there had to be some way of comparing set with set.

    • deeeno on 14/06/2020 - 23:28

      Thanks, that is very interesting information which is leading me in several directions.

      1. Reinforces my need to buy assembly square
      2. Rethink Lego Friends large sets, was going to get that large new water park
      3. Seriously consider the 1500 piece classic set for my kids
      4. I am sitting on a gold mine of duplo at $1 a piece, hah!
      • John Stone on 15/06/2020 - 14:12

        The only problem with Assembly Square, is that so much of the detail in that set is "hidden" in the different floors. When it is put together, you don't get to see any of that detail.

        The 1500 classic set, or the medium classic tub are both good value. It is good to add to "Random lego pieces" boxes rather than building with a specific purpose in mind.

        Also another interesting note is that the "BigW" after promotion price and the Lego RRP sometimes differ, which makes comparing even harder. For example set 41375 Lego Friends Amusement Pier, has a RRP of $199 at the Lego Store, has an after promotion price of $159 at Big W, but is going to be on promo for $119. Which makes the discount even larger.

        I have a data set one this one too, which I will post up tonight when I get home.

        June 18th for instore sales.

        Lol, good luck to those poor souls. I'm sure most of the popular/best-selling sets will be gone in the first day due to online sales.

        • deeeno on 15/06/2020 - 13:40

          Agreed, I am not intending to rely on instore sales at all…will just have to cough up the delivery fee =/.

        • shiprekt on 15/06/2020 - 14:23

          I wonder how much stock they actually have for the popular ones here?

          • Miami Mall Alien on 15/06/2020 - 15:08

            @shiprekt: Considering the insatiable demand for Lego since global lock-downs began and the fact that everything anyone wants is still out of stock on the Lego S@H store and that supply chains globally are still disrupted… not enough to meet demand is the answer.

            My local David Jones and Myer used to have a Lego section in their toys department that was probably about 60sqm in size. They have both been reduced to half that, if not less, since late-March.

            If people are clearing out overpriced Lego stock in DJs and Myer because of stock shortages, they are going to absolutely raid BigW's very competitively-priced stock during this sale.

  • John Stone on 15/06/2020 - 14:13

    Looks like the prices have been loaded into the BigW website, but can't add to cart yet.

  • Skellysgirl on 15/06/2020 - 18:32

    If anyone is after the Roller coaster it's available on Amazon via a third party at $350. Take a look at the other sellers on the right-hand side. They have 5 available. I cannot post in the deals due to the min numbers of 10. https://www.amazon.com.au/LEGO-Creator-10261-Roller-Coaster/…

      Risk potential. That's a new seller with no feedback whatsoever.

      • shiprekt on 15/06/2020 - 20:19

        Yeah proceed with caution for sure!

      • Skellysgirl on 15/06/2020 - 21:06

        It is covered by Amazons A-to-z Safe Buying Guarantee. - Short story they keep the money till you receive the product and are happy.

    Ok, some last minute data for all of you hanging out for some Lego.
    This one takes into consideration that the Big W "after promotion" price for a lot of sets is much lower than the RRP for the Lego sets.

    Anyway, this table is sorted from Highest discount % based on the Big W sale price and the Lego.com AU site RRP.
    Keep in mind that the Lego RRP price is the price that alot of other sites such as Target/Myer/Kmart use as their normal sell price.
