    OK who bought all the Merc's, not listed on the site anymore.

    Just as well. I was just about to take a look again. Removes any temptation.

    Picked up the Merc truck too. I did find a valid 20% elsewhere on boards, but it's not valid on Sale items

    So my order arrived from Littlewoods today, guess what they sent me instad of the Merc? Linky :eek:

    Can't reorder as it's out of stock... :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,446 ✭✭✭NinjaTruncs


    I won't have thought you need to re-order, I'd expect them to replace the item for you. You may be waiting a while though, I missed out on it myself but got the crawler crane and fire plane to make up for the disappointment.

    Ye, I rang them up, and it does't work that way NT. I have to send back the wrong item (via Parcel Motel, for free) for a full refund, and then re-order - the girl on the phone couldn't do it as it's showing as OOS. I'll just have to wait until it's back, and then try and reorder over the phone to try and get the same price

    Oh hopefully they'll be able to sort it out for you and you'll get the merc truck. I actually ended up cancelling my order for the merc not long after posting here as I realised I don't have the funds for such a big set this month. I did order the crawler crane though. Will let you know if it arrives safely.

    I ordered the volvo truck and a few smaller items in the past when there was a similar sale on and everything was fine so maybe your order was a once off.

    I'd be interested to know if other people who ordered the merc had the same thing happen.

    Sorry to hear that.

    I was fighting 2 whole days with myself and today I decided to buy Volvo L350F lego set. 150Euro with discount code. Off course there is no sale anymore. Item back to 210Euro :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    I think the sale is still on in Europe. I saw it mentioned a couple of times.
    I think it was + €10 of the littlewoods sale price to have it delivered here.

    check mydealz.de - I may have entered the wrong search term there, or there may be a better offer in the threads, that site is VERY specific on it's spelling.

    Found it here from the mydealz link: https://www.eggersmann-modellautos.de/shop/LEGO/LEGO-Technic/::67637.html?MODsid=9c1f9e084cfb58ee31fe4f70d4717013

    It's coming in at €170 + €10 shipping - I might hold off and just by it direct at full price from Lego instead, in October, as thats when they will be doing double points (effectively 10% discount/back), so the same price

    Not really a bargain but the Advent calendars are available now from http://shop.lego.com for €22.99

    Only Friends and City. No sign of the Star Wars one yet.

    Available from the 11th in smyths for €27.99

    They generally sell out really fast.

    That's a bargain to me, cheers. I got the two calenders, 3 mixels and the freebie they are giving away delivered, for the same price as 2 calenders in smyths (nearer 30 euro in my local toy shop).

    Signed up to the VIP thing, is that worth doing by the way, didn't really bother reading the whys and what fors!

    If you *absolutely* have to have a new kit before anyone else, then yes - sometimes (think UCS Tumbler) sets are released to VIPs first.

    I used to depend on the points for future discount, but they are only worth 5% , so I'm not depending on the VIP points to get me the cheapest price

    How in the... :confused: Did they mix them up?

    You could sell it.. :)

    Yep, that was the link, it must've expired, I remember the site.

    I had another look for it on the same site, but I searched for the lego number (42043)

    http://www.mydealz.de/search?keywords=lego+42043&action=search&search_in_description=1&expired_deals=1

    But they're also expired (one is the same link).
    But, it may provide an option for future purchases... maybe.

    Hi guys, looking for a deal on the old millennium falcon,
    Debenhams had it but it's sold out

    http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_171010543199_-1

    Any leads on where to get it? I actually think I prefer it to the new one!

    Cheers

    How much was that to begin with? The cheapest I'm seeing it anywhere is for €127 + shipping - compared to Debenhams €48.60 :eek:. Did they ever sell it for that sale price, or is it one of those "price drops, not in stock, but look what else we have here.."


    EDIT:
    Apologies.. A link might be helpful. - http://geizhals.eu/lego-star-wars-episodes-i-vi-millennium-falcon-7965-a665526.html

    I saw Lego Movie Rescue Reinforcements half price in Heatons Carrickmines today. Was 60 euro, now 30 euro. They had about 6 of them.

    EDIT: Here's the link. A few other sets half price too. :)

    http://brickset.com/sets/70808-1/Super-Cycle-Chase

    This set was down from e54 to e27 in Debenhams in Tallaght today. There was one up at the pay counter. Seems like a good price.

    I'd be careful. The seller has zero feedback. There was a seller on adverts who was banned just yesterday as they were pulling a scam selling big lego sets.

    Not to say this seller isn't genuine but tread carefully.

    I'm not sure if its a bargain or not but maybe someone here would know better but I just spotted the Lego Imperial Star Destroyer (75055) for €99. Is this a decent price ?

    Where's that?

    Its on the Smyth's website. I was in Ken Blacks on Saturday and it was €150 there.

    It's a good deal, I don't need a new star destroyer but at that price I'd be hard to say no!

    I've reserved on in Waterford so hopefully I can make it down after work tomorrow :)

    Stock checker for that Star Destroyer:
    http://www.checksmyths.com/StockCheckPage.php?productId=135707

    Only that the closest to Dublin I can find is Dundalk, I'd be buying it. The petrol and tolls up and back would end up more than the saving.

    Also, while on the Smyths site I bought the Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar. They ran out last year and my young fella is already talking about this years one. Better safe than sorry!
