It's only €120? What? When I saw the photos earlier I thought it was going to be €250+ :pac:

I'm guessing it should be widely available. My only fear would be from how much demand there is.

Lego store says max 5 per person per order so would be guessing this will be widely available. Limited run sets are generally restricted to 1 per person.

I have no problem with that. Just want to make sure I get my hands on one. I wonder what the odds are Smyths would have a few..?

I contacted them on FB and they said they wouldn't have it.

Strange, they've carried ideas sets before. The only thing I can think of is that they were put off by the price. It's hard to imagine this set being unsuccessful though.

So they do....in the Baby and Child section. Ill try not be offended...

£109 and the site reckons £7.50 postage to ireland, allowing 6-8 days for delivery. That approx €133.75.

Surprised to hear about Smyths, they sell the Ghostbusters hq for a lot more...

shotgunmcos

Its €119.99 from LEGO [EMAIL="S@H"]S@H[/EMAIL] with free delivery. If you can wait a few days

Can someone explain this to me? Is it buying from the Lego store with an AIB card (Debit, Credit?) gets you money back?

Yup using Visa Rewards. I think you get 8% back on your next purchase.

Damn forget about this.

how do lego ship their stuff courier or on an post?

Thargor

Got mine on backorder aswell, I read the blogs and Reddit daily at work and subscribe to Jangbricks on Youtube but this is the first Lego Ive bought in about 15 years.

eclipsechaser

Just got an email from the Lego Store saying that it has shipped. Might be useful information for anyone who got their order in around the time I posted.

Urquell

Ordered on the 31st around 18:10, and I got the shipment notification on the afternoon of the 2nd, landed today - w00t!

Urquell

Email in this morning to say that my order will take longer to fulfill since they are out of stock. Ordered on the 31st May as well.

Dammit!!

Oafley Jones

Mine arrived in work yesterday while I was off. Never got a shipping notification.
