Lego Hoard?

pmcc1

Hello!
I’m tasked with putting together a free, regular Lego event for the chislers of D7 through a community group.
The missing ingredient is Lego. Large amounts out it.
Can anyone recommend how I could borrow/rent/beg a hoard of pieces for a couple of months?
We have no funding to speak of.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, Lego is expensive (roughly €15 per kilo for unsorted random pieces).

https://www.bricks4kidz.ie might be an option but I can't see any pricing on their website and suspect it might be pretty expensive.

You can buy a KG of loose Bricks from Jack & Jill for €10 (I'm 95% sure on the price). This gives you the added bonus of supporting a very worthwhile charity.

You should also keep an eye on DoneDeal and Adverts as you'll often get bulk lots for less per KG.

These are all located in the Dublin region, you might be able to negotiate a better price too.

Dave - you're a star. I've contacted Jack & Jill. Would be best to support them!
I'll make up the shortfall with ebay/adverts/amazon.
Thanks a mil!
