    This amazing (1500 pieces) Lego set cannot be got in shops here & Tesco Online are out of stock. Amazon wanted €133.95 for it....but a quick browse of Lego.com & voila, I bought it & a Lego base thingy for €63.00. Arrived today, beautiful set & 5yr old Jack is gonna be a happy bunny.

    Nice one

    I got it from lego.com about 2 months ago. If your kid loves 'free play' then they will absolutely love this.
    Mine has built some amazing things with it and is delighted with it. You will need some new lego storage solutions though...it is a LOT of lego.

    I got that storage all sorted. I put a pic up here last year. Although it does cause problems for the kid that picks up a random piece and goes from there.

    I'd have pushed it to 60 euro total for the free gingerbread house model which is cool.

    Is that only valid from Nov. 27th though? And I saw that on HUKD as £60.

    Ah I ordered it the other day, once you sign up to VIP thing you get early access for a day. I spent well over the 60, rereading the email it was 65 euro minimum spend. Worth hanging on til 27th though.

    I ordered the big 1500 box, the smaller 580 box and the Lego building mat.

    I just checked the website as well and its out of stock in all stores now. Ken Black might be an option as well.

    I'll keep an eye out anyway for you and post back here if I see it anywhere.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,325 ✭✭✭✭Dozen Wicked Words


    I'm going to Ken Blacks Kilkenny tomorrow so I'll keep an eye out for that Jurassic set.


    Edit: looked, no luck I'm afraid.

    Probably not what you want to hear but there's an ad on adverts.ie selling the whole Jurassic World collection (7 sets) for €580. Your set is included. Location is Kildare.
