Yes I know. I should have posted about the Big W sale.
Anyways. Target is now on sale too 25% off all LEGO.
That is if you have any LEGO money left for this year!

AU$ 0.07 pp seems to be the common factor when prices hit bottom.
(That’s apart from exceptions like Kmart Yoda).
Richie...any historical stats to back my claim ?

I’m glad you asked!
7c/piece is very low, and according to my records, there’s been only one
largish set which has been on sale below 7cpp.
Looking back at some of my purchases:
Large sets:
USS Constellation was 6cpp
Fort Legoredo was 12cpp (lots of big pieces though)
Ogel Underwater base was 11cpp
Ogel Non-Underwater base was 7cpp
Enchanted Island was 11cpp
Small sets:
Mono-Jet was 6cpp
Rock Raiders flyer was 4cpp
Note that my purchases do not represent a complete picture of the prices of LEGO
in the Australian market, and don’t include any of this week’s specials (curse
GB’s Chatswood! They had no BFFs yesterday), but they do include most largish
sets which finish with hefty discount. I tend to miss out on the really good
deal $1.97 sets at Big W, for instance, due to geographic circumstances1.
Don’t forget blue tubs! They are under close to 3c/piece at $39.99 which is
probably the best value (new) LEGO in recent times (certainly since the end of
my dark ages). But I don’t think they can be fairly compared to a ‘set’, but it
really depends on where your collection is. I’d buy a blue tub for $20, but
that’s mostly for the box - the bricks would be a bonus - but I won’t buy any
more at $40. (I paid $60 for my first couple of blue tubs, and I still consider
that a good deal).
Cheers
