Any idea if 40262 and 40263 – the small Christmas sets are going to be available in Australia? They are currently on the US site. Planning on getting the Winter Village Train and Train Station, and the small Christmas sets would go nicely in the Village.
Can’t do more than 1 order every 6 months or so due to the $200 limit for shipping.
I am waiting for the 40262 & 40263 as well. The $200 limit for shipping is too high, I am always having trouble filling up the cart to $200 as you can often get the big sets much cheaper in the brick and mortar store. That’s the reason Lego always offers the gift with purchase to attract customer to buy at RRP price (if you exclude the VIP rewards).
Ended up buying the Winter Village Train Station and the Creator Ferrari F40 (every time I tried to buy this on special at Myer they ran out or cancelled on me).
Was told by Lego that they don’t know if they are getting 40262 and 40263 in Aust online store. Will order the Winter Village Train, 40262, 40263 and something to make it up to $200 if they come out later in the year. Otherwise will get the train from Toyworld – which seems to be the only place I can find it.
Thanks for the heads up just made my order for that truly awesome little VIP gift with purchase. Not sure if you are in Brisbane Tim, but Dreamworld Lego has the new, small Christmas sets and the new winter fridge magnet. If they have gotten it surely it will be on the Lego store soon.
What are you buying, if you don’t mind me asking?
Don’t mind at all – I bought the Winter Holiday Train, Thanksgiving Scene (Dreamworld Manager said they def were not getting this), a couple of baubles and the Ninjago Movie Jelly Sub. A pretty random assortment, I know, but I keep back the exclusives on the Lego store for free gift sets just like this. It has been a truly ugly year for the Lego budget!
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately we have no Lego stores in SA so there are some items I can only get online and the delivery fee is a killer.
