    Out of interest, what makes you think that is the case? Just the speed and location of getting them up?

    That was the initial trigger, but to be fair, he does have some built sets for sale now too, and that makes it less likely - he could just be a hoarder like the rest of us :D

    Was down at the shop after work yesterday and there was a guy with a overloaded trolley full of loads of sets and big sets too like the batcave. My boyfriend who is a big lego builder was asking him bout some of the sets and he told us 'he had no interest in them and was just going to sell them''.

    Very very annoying as there was sets he had we were dying to get and build.

    20% off superhero sets in Smyths and there's a €20 off when you spend over €100 as well. Can get €72 off that classic batman cave.

    Is the €100 spend counted on the Marked price or the price after the discount?

    I'd assume on the marked price. Just looking into it and I don't think you can use the offers together.
    Worth a shot though.

    Got this for €3 in Tesco yesterday :)

    They had good few bits discounted on the shelf stickers but no stock. Obi-Wan Kenobi 75109 figure at €13 I would have liked. Might be still worth having a root around your local tesco and price checking some of the sets without shelf sticker prices.

    I think you can. I put the Ninjago Raider and Wu's Dragon in my basket and was able to use the sep20 discount to get the price down from €107.98 to €87.98. Full retail price is €134.98.

    Less than half price on 75147 Star Scavenger. Not a fan of the set myself but that's a good price.

    Tried to order one for my nephew. Tells me it can be ordered for collection between September 8th and 10th. When I enter my email and phone number and hit reserve it tells me it's out of stock :(
    Also got an empty reservation mail.

    You have to spend €65 instead of the usual €55 to get the free delivery though since the €10 off counts against your order total. This is according to some people on Brickset.com and I checked myself, it looks that way.

    Great to get a tenner off and everything, but not really seeing anything especially different about the new site. Minor redesign and a new banner across the top as far as I can see. It did the job before though so no real need to change much, all they need to do is show us pictures of Lego and the price, there really isn't that much you need to tart up about an online shop. Unless of course you are justifying your job as the sites webmaster to your bosses and needed something to do.

    How long does the €10 off last for, never see any money off the pet store or dective office, might be time to splash out and use some VIP points with it.

    Amazon uk is cheap at the moment a lot of stuff 20% off, still works out cheaper than getting the free delivey.

    I think it's until 20 September.

    I was able to get the Lego Ideas Maze as a Christmas present for €54.99 with free shipping using €10 in VIP Points and the IE10 code (I think the code has to be applied first to get it to work) . I also got a free Ninjago mini kit as well :)

    Heads up, this is not a good deal - https://www.lughq.com/set-75101/

    I'd highly recommend www.lughq.com to everyone to compare Lego prices across multiple stores in Ireland and the Lego shop @ home price.

    What am I missing - according to what I can see on that site that's the cheapest the set has ever been?

    Great set, too. Santa brought it to our house last year.

    The lowest it's ever been was €50. Why I was saying it's not a good deal is because Argos raise the price higher than RRP and then reduce it so it looks like a great saving when in reality it's usually on par with prices in other stores. It is of course €5 cheaper in this instance and yes, it's a great set, I have two myself

    Handy site, thanks.

    I just noticed that set on the argos scanner and thought it looked good.

    Bargain query. I have a fair bit of Lego to get pre Christmas. Some of which I will only be able to get on Lego.com other smyths. Is it better to grab the smyths stuff in the 20% sale this weekend and the rest online or wait and see if they do double points or free gift on Lego.com?

    It's a bit like asking how long a piece of string is.
    To my mind it's a case of "a bird in the hand.....etc"

    Is that sale starting tomorrow or saturday? My daughters birthday is on sunday and am getting her the lego friends hotel set so if it was 20% then that would be an added bonus.
