    Wanted a specific set for the kid but Amazon don't ship it to Ireland. Anyone found any good places that ship here?

    Would the Lego wesite itself be worth a look?

    Not sure if they'll have the specific set you want, but if anywhere do, they should! :)

    I used lego.com a few years back-very reliable - I got what I wanted, hadn't been able to get it anywhere else.

    Yeah, it's weird, I've no idea why this particular set couldn't be delivered to Ireland, and yes I did check that it was Amazon.co.uk selling it.

    Did it have batteries included by any chance? Amazon have a thing about shipping products with AA or AAA batteries.

    Nope. Battery free, it was quite a simple set.

    The wife ordered Lego off this site last week and it was delivered within a few days. They seem to be a bit cheaper than Smyths (special offer at the moment)...

    Hi I know you said you are looking for a particular set but I just found this site. They sell blocks that are compatible with lego but are much cheaper. I have a few sets picked for my kiddos :D

    Unfortunately it's a Star Wars lego set he's after and honestly I'd always buy Lego out of nostalgia about my own childhood! Megablocs be damned etc. :D

    I have a bunch of Lego Power Miners and Lego Atlantis sets to sell if anyone is interested . I got junior to remake them so I know the parts are complete
