Bargain Alerts - Lego

No i didn't get the train GWP as it's only on certain themes you get it with and the lego castle is not 1 of them sadly (instore only), if you spend 65 euro online on certain themes you get the item in pic below once your registered for lego insiders

Blanchardstown wasn't bad this morning but I was there for 9 when store opened. Another chap bought the lego lions castle as well while there. Blacksmith set I have. I haven't built it yet but I think would be a great set to get if you can as retiring so once sold out its gone.

At only 140 euro it's class price.

There weren't technical difficulties last night that don't occur every time they have promotions on. They have in the last year or so put in place holding pages to manage traffic as everyone piles on around the same time but it doesn't fix the crashing so it's fairly standard for those issues to occur. It's frustrating as hell when it happens! 😂

There's a chance they extended it if the sales weren't as high as they expected.

Ha they pay me in lego bricks 😂

Smyths and art and hobby store.

Looks like it's in the black friday section of the Lego site.

No idea if it will get reduced though.

These are the 2 Xmas GWP. See to be from 1st December.

That youtuber does be very good with leaks etc. Says in the above video from black Friday there will be 200 lego sets reduced (north America and Canada he has a list) sets might be different in Europe. But you might want to hold off on sets until then just incase. (says the lions nlknoght castle be 100 off but might only be in north America and Canada that set, typical i just bought it wkend before last for Xmas present) I suppose I could bring it back instore if it does. But hold off and be ready on Friday. Also 250 spend come December seems to be lego blanket like in other years.

Yeah seems to happen a bit here nw. But you never know.

Well spotted! I had 565 spare points so got three of the €5 vouchers :) Had a look at the sale and there's nothing else there for me, so I'm going to hold out for the horse carriage GWP in Dec before buying anything else.

A few things I'd picked out were reduced.

Not a fantastic sale but I redeemed the castle. Also got 3x €5 vouchers , so not too bad!

If anyone near the border region. Argos has some sets reduced by a 3rd and very good savings on them. Might be worth checking out their website and going to the store. Argos around now and in January sales were brilliant, shame they didn't even make it until the end of the year here.

Yeah massive shame. Argos and Debenhams I would get best lego deals in them 2.

What's the import duty like on them? Been considering getting some but they're costly enough without the duty

EDIT: Just see they collect VAT themselves now but shipping is fairly expensive.

Cheap sets on amazon, stocking fillers.

The haunted house is down from €300 to €210 on Lego.com if anyone is interested. It's retiring soon.

I picked up another Christmas tree...I've one built already and it's lovely but it can be split and made into 2 trees...which is what I plan on doing.

I threw in a chip and dale set to bring it up to 56 for free delivery moreso than the gwp , but they were welcome. Then threw in the code for the world of wonder set , then the code for fiver off.

So not a bad haul for €51!!

I want to save myself for the 1st so I'm afraid to look at the sale stuff, in more depth!

There's a poster in the Christmas forum who has a massive Christmas Lego display, he posted a picture a few days ago. I plan on copying them.

I've the holiday main street, alpine lodge and Santa's visit. Santa's sleigh, two Christmas trees now, the little polar bear sets and two of the gwp stalls.

I picked up a holiday train(not Lego) in homestore and more to run through it somehow.

Will see how it goes.

I actually should have got that monkey set rather than chip and dale, but I have a massive soft spot for chip and dale 😁

So well em 😂, Lego delivery today and I had ordered the monkey set in a previous order 😂🤣🤣 time to step away from the website 😂

Ha worked out well for you. I have bought sets and then forgot about them and then bought them again and found the other 1.

Actually still available at €112. I'm still tempted.

Kids have a good few of the Modular Hogwarts set's but it's massive for display. They've kind of grown out/ lost interest in Lego but the small one would be nice to have.

Anyone know where I could acquire a Lego Dublin Architecture set? AFAIK they don't exist officially but I know there are groups etc that source pieces to form one based on the city.

Open to an amateur setup as I want one for myself and my business to display.

Also, raging I missed out on the Berlin one about 8 years ago. They're no longer in production!

Thanks for any pointers.

Don't know if anybody uses them, but Very.ie have some argos-style discounts on sets. I've just purchased the Lego City Rocket Launch Centre 60351 set for €83 bucks plus 2 quid shipping. (it was never as high as they say it was at 165 euro, but it is 150 on the lego site)

I just love these sets, but wasn't able to justify the big one at 150 - at 83, on payday, I caved :D

I did notice that they also have the Speed Champions Nissan Skyline for 15, the microscale Hogwarts for 110 and Yavin 4 for 105, which are also decent discounts.

You might want to hold off a few days and get the double insider points.

Got 3 yesterday in smyths. As its reduced and it's 3 for 2 on the annuals was only 6 euro.

I saw on an Instagram ad that Stakelums are offering a 20% discount across all their range this Saturday (for international Lego day) both in store and online and they have a great range.
