Betrayal at Cloud City 75222 is £179 on the John Lewis site. It includes free delivery to Ireland.

Using Revolut it works out at under €200 compared to €350 in Smyths or €400 on Lego S@H.

DaveNoCheese · 20-08-2019 3:28pm

And I found the Lego Disney CMF's in my local Tesco for €2 today

Sweet thanks! €204 delivered - bargain. I took it off my wishlist because as much as I wanted it I couldn't justify the price for a playset. Even at an inevitable 20% off I wouldn't go there but this is a great price!

Could very well be a price error but this and the destinys bounty boat are nearly half price in argos. No interest in either set myself but seems to be stock around anyways

I checked all in Dublin city and around Kildare.

I removed a three of the stores that are not in the city centre and replaced them with three random stores.
Not ideal, but it is available in them outside Dublin, and orderable in the others.
If you go to the Argos site and order it anyway, they should give you a date to collect it in your nearest store.

Sonny noggs · 21-08-2019 8:15pm

The Technic Porsche 42096 is GBP 65 from Amazon.co.uk at the moment. After VAT adjustment that is EUR 74

That's a good reduction - it was £105 this AM when I set off to Argos to collect mine - had Amazon discounted then, i'd have saved my fuel and ordered it there:D

Gone back to £114 now - 1 day offer, perhaps those who ordered for collection at Argos will be honoured but my experience of similar offers was unless you got one from stock, not getting one.

Some reduction whilst it lasted!

I have a code for one in Argos Childers road for pickup today that I won't be using.

Anyone want it?

Cantona's Collars · 22-08-2019 12:15pm

I've a code for Carlow for the Porsche if it's useful to anyone. Reserved until close of business tomorrow.

BelovedAunt · 22-08-2019 10:22pm

A few more Destiny's Bounty's available in Dublin.

mloc123 · 23-08-2019 11:04am

I ordered a Destinys Bounty for collection in Argos, which is meant to be from today... has anyone ever used that before, do they email me to say it is now available?

You should have received dates that it is available from and to, for collection.

After that it goes back into stock if you haven't collected it.

Yeah, I ordered it on Tuesday and it said that it would be in stock today until Monday. The store still shows no other stock... I am wondering do they email to confirm I can now collect it today. Do not want a wasted drive

No. You can collect it until Monday, I think they email you when it has not been collected though.

When you ordered, did you receive an expected date for collection AND a reservation number?

Sometimes it looks like a reservation has gone through but you don't get a reservation number.

I ordered one for reservation in Clonmel - the email I got has a reservation number, as well as the "Will be available for collection from" dates (Sat through Monday).

I wouldn't be expecting a second email to be honest, but I might call before travelling, just to make sure they have it, and the latest price. AFAIK items that are reserved don't show up in the stock checkers, until they are released back into stock

Fuzzy Logic · 23-08-2019 3:07pm

If you included your phone number you get a text to say it's ready for collection. I got my text this morning

Zebrano · 23-08-2019 3:58pm

Ive a code for the porsche in ashbourne if anyone wants it

mloc123 · 23-08-2019 10:41pm

To close out my question. It was ready to collect when I went up earlier. No further email or text apart from the initial one when I ordered it during the week.

Nope I never get emailed if it's ready or not collected, never.

Argos also have the Technic Bugatti at ~270e which seems like good value too

Necronomicon · 30-08-2019 4:26pm

Anyone know if Smyths have their 20% sale at the same times every year? If so, when can we expect the next one?

I remember it last year, Was last week September /First week of October, For every €50 spent get €10 off.

Im waiting patiently for it again this year.

laros · 30-08-2019 6:28pm

They currently have 20% off some Harry Potter sets....

The one I'm thinking of - which I remember happening a few years - was a flat 20% off everything. I remember being sorely tempted by the UCS Falcon €640. I don't recall it happening yet this year.

shotgunmcos · 01-09-2019 10:31am

Yep that's the deal I waited for last year and got the whole Harry Potter wave at 20% off

Sonny noggs · 01-09-2019 10:33am

Smyths seem to have had fewer 20% offs on LEGO to date this year, more targeted at specific sets rather than full themes.

Spocker · 01-09-2019 11:32am

Just a reminder, it's wasn't 20% off - it's €10 off every €50 spent, so round up - if you're buying something for €199, the discount is only €30 (not €39.80) so make sure you add stuff to bring the overall cost to the nearest €50

Rhyme · 21-09-2019 12:58pm

People on a few Facebook pages are talking about the Smyths 10e off every 50e spent deals running from next Tuesday. Source seems to be staff telling customers over the phone.

DaveNoCheese · 24-09-2019 8:39am

Smyths have €10 off every €50.

So if you spend €150, that would be €30 off. Offer ends Sunday coming.

Make sure to buy something for €1 otherwise it'll be €99.99 with 10 off.

SMC92Ian · 24-09-2019 8:05pm

Got the last Tower Bridge today, €150. Nice one.

Exclamation Marc · 24-09-2019 8:21pm

Picked up Stranger Things, Friends set and the HP advent calendar today for 240 after a tasty 60 discount. It really is the only time of the year to buy the higher tagged Lego sets!

DaveNoCheese · 25-09-2019 8:54am

Argos are quick on the heels of Smyths with an "up to half price toy event" today. Nothing spectacular though.
