20% off at Big W tomorrow August 16. Not as big a deal as it otherwise might be because they are now at or close to RRP on most sets, especially the new ones.
Worth a look though if you have Woolworths rewards points and/or their 10% discount on one shop available.
EDIT : it seems the sale is online only, so you can't use the 10% discount reward if you have it, as that's now in-store only. Very sneaky of them

I don't need anything right now.
Ah, but need doesn't come into it

Have you seen the stack I have to build? Including Collisseum. Starting Lego shop and big mini figure this week.
I won't link here in case others are entomophobic, but the Lego Ideas Insects set is announced today and the builds look very clever. Not sure how many will willingly display Lego insects (I know it'd be a hot topic at our place) but there's no disputing the quality of the set. $125, releasing 1 September.
The big minigure is very cool. You should get a buzz out of building that. One of the sleeper sets of the year IMHO.
Caved in and ordered the Tranquil Garden. 20% off isn't bad and I need something soothing after yet another re-signing of the least successful one-club coach in AFL history .

Lol
That gardens one looks ok imo

Yeah I think it'll go ok with the bonsai despite being a different scale
Definitely will go well with the Bonsai
My Power supporting workmates are not impressed with Ken staying on
They're right. 11 years of failure was enough, and it was a natural time to move on. Sadly we are an AFL-run club and our chairman is a despot. The AFL is happy for us to be middle of the road, whilst of course the fans aren't.
I'm wondering if it could somehow be integrated into the Botanic Gardens being roughly at Minifigure scale.
Couldn't resist

Maybe. I will build it and play around. The Friends botanical Gardens was fun to build

Was initially reluctant but then Jaysbrickblog mentioned each insect is about 20cm wide - that's not too shabby. Fits in well with Botanicals too.
Will wait for a discount.
Looking for an excuse to try one of the Dreamzzz sets. Have just been told the grandchildren think they're cool
The turtle van looks fun. I don't dig them enough to buy any.
I think I'll get it for the build value. Can't imagine I'd be displaying them anywhere public

I liked the Treehouse and Stable. There certainly seems to be a lot of imagination in them.
The Nightmare Ship reminds me of Metalbeard's Sea Cow from the original Lego Movie. That was a hoot to build.
Jaysbrickblog is teasing a new Lego Store in Pitt St, Sydney, said to be "opening soon". When it does open it'll be the largest in the world at 900sqm. Doesn't say whether it'll be company owned or join the chain of Certified Stores, but I hope it'll be a little more like flagship stores elsewhere in the world. I don't know if it's just me but I find the experience in our stores somewhat underwhelming when you see the videos of the experiences in overseas stores, particularly in the US.

Yeah, was on display for years and needed a refresh. Purged my Star Wars and Harry Potter stuff lol.

Yeah the London store I went in to several years ago was far more impressive than the one they opened in the last 12 months near me.
You've been to the Leicester Square store? I am most envious
