    i also got LEGO Prince of Persia Desert Attack Set (7569) for 6.99e and they had a few.

    I know its not lego but got the megablocks halo figher ship was 42.99 for 14.99... got all my brothers and nephews birthday gifts sorted for 25e... happy days


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,565 ✭✭✭✭Tallon


    The Halo fighter one looks cool though, I'd buy it just to have it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,358 ✭✭✭kollegeknight


    megabloks have a halo character lucky bag out like the minifigs out.

    My brother is mad into halo so i got the kit. it looks good and pretty big box looks like i spent 45e on him...

    Hi,Any of these in other stores?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,565 ✭✭✭✭Tallon


    None in Liffey Valey today :(

    None in Drogheda.Must be a local thing!:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,074 ✭✭✭skibum


    None in Bray or the branch off Henry street....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 945 ✭✭✭a5y


    Perhaps a dedicated BARGAIN ALERTS - LEGO stickied thread would be a nice thing to have?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Dunjohn


    Maybe this one could just be renamed?

    Either way, I might be able to contribute.... Smyths has the Games set Orient Bazaar at €7.99, usual price €21.99 (they had it at €16.49 then made a bunch of games half price). As a built set it's not great but as a parts pack it's very exotic, with a full 4-part golden dome, sixty gold disks and a bunch of perfume accessories. Most of the microfigs could pass for babies.

    Also, check Argos.ie because they're getting rid of a lot of last year's stuff at hugely reduced prices, though most of it is out of stock by now (at least it is in Galway).

    WOW is all I can say, there are some seriously good bargains in Argos. I'm gutted I didn't know about this sooner, a few I'd really love at those prices are sold out in both Cork branches. They still have a couple of good ones.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭Ron DMC


    It's not on special offer or anything, but it's still a bargain because it's pure class.

    Lego compatible iPhone 4 case.

    Shame it's iPhone only. I'd love one for my SGS.

    I have a 3G.. Dam :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    I really really want one of those for my Desire :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Amazon have 33% off a good few sets at the moment. The odd (great) thing is, the 'Super Saver Free Delivery' that is usually a UK-only offer is eligable on orders to Ireland too (it still says UK only but I can confirm I have availed of it as of today :)) so these prices are inclusive of delivery.

    The 2010 Harry Potter sets are down:

    4842: Hogwarts Castle: £69.01 (works out €81.85; the set retails here for €120, Argos had it for €135 when it came out).

    4738: Hagrid's Hut: £27.46 (€31.15; retails here for €49.99)

    4840: The Burrow: £41.53 (€45.98; retails at €74.99 here)

    4841: Hogwarts Express: £52.00 (€58.99; retails between €90-100 depending on where you go here).

    Away from HP, there's the City theme. See the full range here. For example:

    7939: Lego City Cargo Train: £87.10 (€98.81; retails here at €149.99)

    There's also 33% off the Star Wars line (see the full range here including:

    8097: Slave I £54.94 (€62.33; retails here at €90-100)

    8098: Clone Turbo Tank £69.01 (€78.29; retails at €115 here).

    Anyone in the market for a cheap train? There's 53% off the Toy Story 7597 Western Train Chase. It is £38.57 delivered, which works out at €43.75. Retails at around €100 here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Dunjohn


    I've got stuff from there before with the help of Super Saver delivery so it's a place I keep an eye on. Keep in mind you'll be charged a little more than the exchange rate suggests, as they need to add VAT shipping to Ireland (I queried them about that before) but it's only an extra couple of euro so still a good deal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Toy Story 3 'Trash Compactor Escape' is now less than half price at Argos.

    From 69.99 to 29.99.

    ^^^ Yep, I've been collecting. Though the Ninjago stuff that's around for most of the rest of the week doesn't interest me after a pretty strong start.

    While chasing the cheap computer stuff in the two Tesco stores in Naas, I found that the old Tesco had cheap lego,
    they are selling the Police lego bike for 2.50, the Police and robber ATM set for 4.50, the Police helicopter for 6.00 and two star wars sets for 6.00.

    They still have some bikes, robbers and star wars sets left as of 7:30 this AM.

    Pity this isint in all Tesco's, was in Tesco's Wilton earlier and I didnt see any of these on sale.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 64 ✭✭ATMAddict


    Yeah, It seems to only be in the old Tesco in Naas, they are having some refurbishment work done in the shop, so could be related to the sell off of the lego and other stuff.
    I went in last night and bought two police bikes, I plan to make some GARDA decals for them over the weekend, I'll post some photos

    Yoda looks hilarious in a santa suit

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Aye, he's a cool minifig. I passed on the advent calander though, too many of the days' models seemed to be filler. I might have picked one up at half price, but neither of my local stores have them. I can't help but feel that this will be one that will appreciate in value - it did well by all accounts and the 2012 calander has been confirmed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,358 ✭✭✭kollegeknight


    They are not great. we got one for 20e in argos before the christmas. ended up giving the yoda away, he was not my style. the other minifigs were decent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,358 ✭✭✭kollegeknight


    Tesco Ennis have series 4 minifigs for 1euro. None opened yet but musketeer in one and cave one in other so seems to have nice variety.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Heads up - Argos have a clearance sale on at the moment. Some absolute bargains to be had. You can check stock in your local store online.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 741 ✭✭✭therewillbe


    Just Cork or All? Cheers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭Hoofball


    Just Cork or All? Cheers

    There's only a few of the items available in Cork and they seem to only be available in the retail park in Blackpool (and it's just one of the item left). None of the ones I checked are available in Mahon or in town. Which is a pity as some good bargains there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Just Cork or All? Cheers

    All over the country - check www.argos.ie to see the stock of your local store. As Hoofball says, Cork stores seem to have been cleaned out. You really have to be up early for these things :(
