I'm not collecting myself, just want to build up a nice amount for the kids to play with.... On saying that it's mighty fun looking for the right set for the right price! Got some cracking buys from eBay!

Ah noooo wife just looked at me sideways when I mentioned this!
Just did a dummy run online and yes 20% discount applied, death star down to 271, falcon down to 119. Oh to have €400 right now!
Any idea how long this promotion is running for?

Okay, what they did is just pure evil... That 20% off makes a lot of sets very damn good value! :mad: How long for this promotion lads?

€271 for the Death Star :eek:

That is a bargain. Having bought the Grand Emporium last week I'm going to have to stick my fingers in my ears for this one. I was also two days away from the double VIP points when I bought it

^ Balls. If it makes you feel any better, I paid €441.95 for it this time last year thinking it was on the brink of retirement. Though the €20 odd in VIP points was nice.

Death Star & Friends Riding Camp are ordered €272 & €64!!! :eek:

oh the kids are besides themselves, shame we have to wait till at least the middle of next week before they arrive.

Death Star and riding camp arrived today, should take care of the rest of the holidays! 80)

The smyths code is still working, which is both good and bad.

If I wasn't going away next week I'd be buying this. works out at about €94 posted to Ireland or €90 if you go through Parcel Motel.

Have seen it before and not sure if it's always the case these days, but Lego shop has free delivery on spend over € 55.

Also currently if you spend € 35 or more you get a free Iron Man vs Fighting Drone mini set thingy!

Wow if 3 people chipped in together you could have 42009 each for around € 135!:eek: 42008 would be € 80 each! Granted though no store in Ireland has either in stock yet!

Still None to be had,If you come across either let me know as I would be interested .

I was in Tesco Mahon Point yesterday evening and they had the LOTR Orcs Forge 9476 down from €52 to €26

You, sir, are a gent and a scholar.

I was going to pick it up on Amazon while they still had them for €33, after missing them while they were the same price in Argos. I drove up as soon as I saw your post and they had two left. I picked up one, and was severely tempted to get the last one too (I reckon this will do well post-retirement, especially as an accompaniment for Orthanc). I decided to leave someone else pick up a bargain though, so there's still one left.

*mam. And you're welcome.

I was in town today and checked tesco Dawn square but they're not selling any LOTR or Hobbit sets

Ah, my apologies! Thanks anyway

There's a thread over on BA about this website having a sale. 50% off using code AUG17 for the next couple of days. I see they do have a selection of Lego, although not a whole lot of it in stock. Tested code on a Duplo set and it worked half price in basket.

Not sure how much of a bargin, but worth a look - mini figs as memory keys

Only 7 in stock in the country and all down the stix! Also, there's loads of other stuff on offer - anything that makes this one better?

It was just the pick of the bunch for me, but that's just because it's aligned to my interests - I love Superhero stuff. Also, there are three minifigures in this that currently are not in any other set (the Superman is different from the Man of Steel Superman; Lex only appeared in an exlusive polybag; and Wonder Woman is completely unique). This set is a home run at RRP, so this is a steal.

This isn't a bargain alert, but just an alert in general for those who don't know: Smyths are really upping their game with regards to exclusives. I was in the Cork Maylor Street store yesterday and they're now stocking 10188 Death Star, 10221 Super Star Destroyer, 10937 Arkham Asylum, and 21103 DeLorean.

The Death Star is cheaper in Smyths than from Lego directly, Arkham is around the same price, but the SSD and DeLorean are a bit more expensive. Odd to have those kinds of discrepancies I think but there you go!
