Pick-A-Brick Australia

Jasen

Gday all - I was wondering whilst living in Brisbane, Australia - if there is any PAB stores in Australia, (hopefully within walking distance haha). As it is to buy bulk I really only have BrickLink (which is limited at best) or get f#sted ordering from [email protected] with the $30+ postage....
I have recently found Mooreed.com.au @ South Bank but that is very limited.
Any help would be great although I hold my head low in anticipation haha

Haha, I'm with you there. Check this out, a bit out of the way and I haven't been, but I'm keen to go check it out one day.

Hate to disappoint but that's not a PAB. You can only do that thru their Bricklink store....

Eric

Oh. :(

There is a store in South Bank that I've just found but yet to check out -
www.mooreed.com.au
It's near the Convention Centre, I'll let you know how it turns out

I go to the TAFE right across the road, so I frequent it fairly regularly. Nothing really exciting. Mainly the education packs which are useless to me, they have sets, but they are either bang on or just above RRP. So, I don't think they sell a lot. They do stock some cool mechandise, (keyrings, calendars, even wrapping paper). But it's all pretty expensive.

Have you considered asking the manager there for a discount in exchange for a larger purchase?

Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't, but it can't hurt. If you were to offer to buy 10 sets, he might well give you 20% or more off each one if you ask nicely, or catch him on a day he needs sales.

Or perhaps he doesn't care or can't, it is just an idea. :)

@LegoFanTexas this is a bit OT but www.bricksdownunder.com.au keeps track of the Aussie sales, it's like the Bible of sales here :D

Either that or Outer Rim Trading Co. :)

Eric

^ Yes, but they have been a bit slack recently.

Jasen

Yeah it's run by Em, who's doing exams lately, just follow the forum (comments on the right), they're more up to date :)
