All Random Lego chatter!

If youre waiting a week might as well order online. You’ll get pirates and treasures freebie and dont have to travel to town. Unless you want to visit the store in person. Not sure if vip points are added inmediately in the store then I guess you can pick up something worth €20 there and then by cashing in the 3k vip pts. Which you cant so online (you’ll need to wait till set ships).

If your spending that big would you not wait until next month there might be some GWP with a spend of over a certain amount. I know the pirate polybag but might be something nice on top of that if you hold off and wait and see if something mentioned in a YouTube video for stuff like that.

Too late, I've ordered ;)

I want the set for the last few days before the end of the school holidays, taking a couple days off work and my daughter's summer camp is done. Otherwise I'd have waited.

Those were good times for being a kid who played with lego.

Just remember with GWP do 2 separate or more purchases if what you are buying is hitting over the threshold if you have multiple sets your buying as you might as well get multiple free GWP either doing this online or instore.

Was in Dublin yesterday. Queue was crazy when I got there. Gardai got involved and had the queue moved across from the Lego store all the way down Grafton St. I couldn't be bothered queuing and getting packed into the store, so I'll go back bright and early some morning I'm in Dublin when the schools are back. I did want that Lego van GWP though :(

Yeah I was hoping to get in but with crowds the way they are I am goin in on Monday. I will miss out with the GWP but I won't be buying any sets in there until there is a free GWP and I saw there is a nice castaway set coming out in October for 120 it seems so I will keep my eyes peeled for that. No point in spending in lego store until you can get a free GWP. Spent enough as it is this month on lego but if I could of gotten in by Wednesday I would of spent enough to get the free GWP truck. Problem is with the lego store on the wkends it will be packed nó matter what. So unless you can get into there when kids are in school it will be packed anyhow on the days there off.

I really want that castaway GWP too, maybe even a couple of them. I'll hold off buying much until it's out in October but I'm hoping that the sets on my wishlist don't go up in price after the European price increase on Lego from 1st September. I was going to pull the trigger on a couple of them yesterday, just to get the GWPs, but don't have the patience for queuing :) Lego.com all the way baby!

managed to get a wrist band for today, got the home alone set in fears that I’ve seen it’s gonna increase in price soon… lovely store! The upstairs for pick a brick and mini fig was insanely busy! They don’t have any more of the gwp stores, only the van & pirate set.

they were saying that the guards told them yesterday that they had to bring the ticket system back or they would shut the shop down due to q’s to get in….

FFS was planning on bringing the kids there on Sunday because I figured it would be a bit quieter bit it sounds like it's still nuts!!

I caved.... got an earlier bus than normal into town on the way to work this morning, and ended up getting a wristband for lunchtime. I just want that little truck 😄

I don't know how far you'd be coming from, but if you got to Grafton Street for half eightish, there was no problem getting bands for 9am, or presumably anytime today.

Going to aim to be there for opening time Monday morning if queues are still this mad.

Aye, I was just in and out yesterday. I knew what two speed champions sets I was getting for €40 each to get me over the €75 for the truck. Will be back for a good look around once all the kids are back in school. Didn't go near the build a minifig, or the minifig factory printer, or PAB wall. Got one set, no sign of the other. No staff on the floor downstairs, just on the tills and out at the barrier. Went upstairs and asked one of the lads up there if he knew if there were any more of x out back. He hadn't a breeze and wasn't exactly volunteering to go and check. Went back downstairs to see if anything else on my wants list was handy and there was another chap bringing an armful of boxes out to restock. Caught his eye and showed him a picture of it and he said he'd go have a look once he got rid of what he was carrying. Came back out with my box and more to fill the empty space. Top marks to him, took note of his name for the feedback survey. Had to remind the girl on the till about the VIP truck and she hadn't a breeze what I was asking when I asked her about the Pirates and Treasure gwp. She also took a few liberties putting her own name down on the till receipt instead of asking if anyone had helped me out.

Smyths on Jervis Street and Lego on Grafton Street would both be handy for me in work so could choose either and unless there is a huge price difference I suppose I'd go with Lego Shop directly because they are going to give me clubcard points but equally I know what I want and am not likely to go in on a whim and be spending big money.

Might have been posted elsewhere on the forum, apologies if so, but thought this was fantastic.

was there at same slot…..my poor bank balance. Two hogwarts sets, the guitar for husband and two smaller Jurassic sets.

All done in two purchases to get two vip sets and two shops. Everyone had a ball
