They were in the Lego section, on the far left. There were 6 or 7 there yesterday. I actually tried buying some last week but was told they weren't supposed to be out yet. At the time there were a couple of cardboard boxes on the top shelf, marked as "40121 Painting Easter Eggs". Maybe if there are none on the shelf, there might still be a box up there. If not, it might be worth asking if they have any more in stock. They could have moved them into the stock room after I tried buying them last week.

I asked a member of staff and they couldn't find them on computer, so you may be right, they may have removed them. I will keep looking.

That's probably a pretty good price at 6.3c per piece.

This is a couple of years old and in USD, but someone with way too much time on their hands figured out the average price to be 10c USD.

Its got 1500 pieces so about 3.7c per piece.

Don't think I've seen it in any bricks and mortar store so you''ll have to order it online.

Any of the licensed Lego such as star wars harry potter etc is a crazy price but their own stuff like lego city is pretty well priced I think.

Was up in Debenhams on Henry Street and they had this marked down from €25 to €15. Not in with the other Lego stuff, it's on the top floor as you come off the escalator straight in front of you there are toys marked 40% off. They're in with those toys.

Average price in Ireland across retailers at present stands at about 9 cent a piece.

Saw this post earlier, so went in to Smyths after works and bought The Kwik-E-Mart from the Simpsons for my wife. She's home sick with a chest infection, she was much better when she saw this

I'd love the KwikeMart or the actual house but unfortunately they're both a little out of my price range

Yeah, it was a little pricey, but after looking on ebay, they seem to be around 200 pounds delivered, so 199eur was a little easier to stomach. Plus I played a bit online over the weekend and had a nice cash

I used to play a lot of cash tables in the Casino a few years ago. Made a few thousand over my time playing.

Then I got responsibilities and can't afford a loss anymore so packed it in

Older sets I assume? I have to pick up one of the new series Ninjago sets for the little fella this weekend.

No doubt I'll end up with a few other bits though.
