And you've spent over 55 euro? Odd, it just appeared in my basket when I ordered.

Can't find these 6 mini figs for 2.99 do you have a link, only ones I can see are 2.99 each

Checked the link in your post and I think that is for individual mini fig each made up of 6 pieces, head torso legs etc

I think they got the wrong end of the stick as well. Even the description at the bottom says pretty much the same.
6 mini figures for 2.99 they would have no stock guaranteed.

Ah, one figure for 2.99 makes more sense. And yes, the description is very misleading.

Just spent over 100 on that site. Got the classic + Santa's workshop.

One of my boys wanted a train set so he should be happy.

not showing free shipping with the 8c piece to go over the 55 limit...

Just be careful with Tesco as if you have multiple items in an order they often send them in separate boxes thus you pay parcel motel multiple delivery charges for the one order from tesco

With double VIP points, means €10 off next purchase. 100 = €5

Lego dimensions also €99 , which is very competitive.

Aye but it's nearly half the pieces for the same price.

coming up as product unavailable in tescos.uk now ...

I threw a request into flubit (for a discount on amazon.uk) so I wonder if enough folk put it into flubit would it offer a better discount that might match the tescos offer!

The order I placed on Lego site came thru - massive cardboard box but not Classic box in itself isn't too big.

And the mini-figurine is just one - I got super hero Bart, "the Bartman"

Ah great stuff, who delivered it ? I have a Lego tracking number but nothing is showing up. Hoping to get it in and hidden for Christmas before it gets spotted !!!

Did you get the Christmas train ? Is it any good

positron

There's a DHL label on the box, but I think it came via an Post "EPG Priority Parcel" whatever that means.

Yes, Christmas train set in the box and it looks nice, but it's most certainly not a toy that you can give to young kids. It has dozens of tiny peanut sized components - various decorations etc - that set is for me I guess.

Would it suit at the bottom of a Christmas tree?

Used the tracking number from lego.com on An Post website and should be able to see when it will be delivered

I am not sure if I understood that question - as an ornament? Probably not - it might be too small for something like that. You can see how small it is in this video (compared to the narrators finger tips).

It will certainly make a great gift to a 'lego-minded' teen, or even for a slightly grown-up teen in his 30s or 50s.

Well I'm giving the train set to my 4 year old. I know I will end up building it but I'm sure he will help.
