    Not exactly a bargain but easons in dundrum have a load of the Ghostbusters cars in stock. €50 so not too bad for a rare set


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 654 ✭✭✭conor-mr2


    So yea,

    I had ordered the things with Tesco and checked out. Got a pickup time.

    Guy rang me at 16.40 to tell me
    "that they cant see whats in stock/what they got for hardware related items until they get the shipment. They know for things like bread but not for hardware/toys. You should have seen the Frozen dolls.. I only got 2 and had to ring about 300 people to give them the bad news"

    Seriously.. you'd think Tesco would have a stock check system!!! I mean it happily allowed me to add them to the cart and check them out.
    So no snowspeeders and Cantina for me.

    Tesco.. really, in this day and age!?

    ****e I have two superhero sets reserved for collection tomorrow I hope the same doesn't happen.
    It sounds strange though because I had three items in my basket and in the period between putting in my card details it told me that the star wars set was no longer available in this store so to me that seemed like they had a stock take system.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 654 ✭✭✭conor-mr2


    Well I hope you do have better luck than I do.
    Keep an eye out for that phonecall.

    The chap said he'd ring me if they came in today but no joy

    Actually I spotted it in tesco in the city centre. Up on the top shelf of the toys.

    Bit annoying because I picked it up for €17 a couple of weeks ago.

    They have some starwars sets with a similar discount.

    Cathal Healy are you talking about the lego junior fireman set? Love to get one of those but sold out everywhere.

    Yeah sorry it was the fireman set I was looking at


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Both Smyths and Toymaster in Dublin are stocked with all of the January sets with some small discounts on some from what I could see.

    Star Wars Cantina set for 67euro in Smyths as well. Nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,123 ✭✭✭GodlessM


    Cantina is €54.99 in Argos.

    Coonagh in Limerick.

    Everything was at least 75% off. Nothing over a €10. Most expensive thing was the police station @ €8.39


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 567 ✭✭✭bonnieprince


    Is there much Lego left?

    Nothing marked down in Mahon :-(

    There were some things left but don't know what will be there now.

    I picked them up at the weekend.

    People didn't seem to notice the deals were there so there might be a chance that there's stuff left.
    Nothing marked down in Mahon :-(

    Could be store specific.
    Have noticed them doing this across stores before though.

    Tesco Ardkeen (Waterford) have recently revamped their Lego section. It was previously only about 3 shelves high, now it's top to bottom Lego so there might be some stuff reduced, I'll be in there tomorrow and have a look.

    On a side note, I was there about a month ago and down next to the staff entrance there were 4 full boxes of Series 11 Minifigs all with a reduced to clear sticker €2.00 sticker on them! They didn't look for sale but I grabbed two handfuls, and went to the checkout. They didn't scan :( The cashier called over a girl from the toy dept. but she didn't know when they'd be put on general sale. I've been checking back every week since but no joy :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,793 ✭✭✭g0g


    Nabbed some great deals in Smyth's Bray today, great for presents! Assume other stores might have similar. Left plane as didn't seem as good value and has been similar price on Amazon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 904 ✭✭✭geecee




  • Registered Users Posts: 49 Cathal Healy


    Picked up the large x-wing model ( 10240 ) in Argos at the weekend for €128.99 - €94 off. Not on the website. Looks like individual stores are clearly some old stock so it might be worth your time heading down to your local store and checking for deals there.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 974 ✭✭✭Remouad


    Yeah there were some other deals there that were not online.
    Train was the most appealing one to me.

    Actually hoping someone will go in and buy it because I'm VERY tempted but have spent a bit too much on Lego in the past month.:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 49 Cathal Healy


    I picked up the x-wing, got a €10 voucher and bought the museum heist for €16 thereafter. First sets this year, but I reckon I spent 7/8 hundred on lego last year. Almost always when I saw a bargain. My son is 1 year old, so the vast majority of the sets won't be opened for years! Hope he likes lego..

    Wow! My little fella is almost 4 and I thought I was planning ahead! :)

    Might head back in later to see if it's still there.
    Maybe if they let me return and rebuy the museum heist and get the €10 voucher.

    Btw he's a boy. He'll be into lego. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 49 Cathal Healy


    Yeah if you get the train and the museum you'd get the voucher.

    We've been buying set since before he was born. i think he's an excuse more than a reason tbh :)

    Some reductions in debenhams. Seen the AT AT, droid gunship, death star troopers and general grevious set all with money off. There was also tecnic and a few other things with money off but I wasn't paying too much attention.

    Also some Lego city, Lego movie, ultra agent, chima and friends stuff reduced


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 974 ✭✭✭Remouad


    Which Debenhams did you spot them in?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    Not sure how accurate this is, but if you go to the lego section
    http://www.debenhams.ie/toys/lego-and-construction-toys/lego?DM_PersistentCookieCreated=true

    And on the bottom of the left menu there is a "Discount" sub menu.

    You can choose to view the items discounted up to 30%, 30% - 50%, or 50% and over.

    Maybe they're the items that are discounted in store?
    Although the discounts don't seem to be applied to everything on the website.
