I'd like to put out a favour to the good folk of the forum, and if anyone could oblige I'd be most grateful.

#9679 AT-ST/Endor planet set is €2.99 and seems to be available in a couple of Smyths stores around the country, but unfortunately none near me. If anyone came across one and was willing to pick it up and post, I would be most grateful. Would obviously reimburse and would also be indebted

Jervis Street branch does. Also Fonthill, Swords, and Carrickmines but they are marked as low stock.

sullivlo · 10-01-2014 11:21am

Council of Elrond is a terrible set, the play feature is rubbish and the only thing that is any good are arches which can be only found with this set. It not even a proper scene from the movie... All that been said, I do love The Lord of rings sets.

I would love to know where you got an Orc forge for €20, I would have bought 5 :-)

Ditto. I got it recently reduced to €47, though given that it's out of print that was acceptable. €20 seems almost too good to be true.

Just saw that Helm's Deep has become out of print since the new year, which means online prices for it are going to skyrocket, which is really unfortunate as nowhere seems to have in a brick and mortar shop.

I think I sow one in that Hobby shop in Cork last time I was there. It was ages ago though.

I bought 3 of those sets when they were 7eu in Tesco. Left one unopened. Good value for that price.

Thanks for that. Appears to be an in store only offer. I checked a few locations and it was not available. Smyths appear to have some other sets reduced too but again they are mostly in store only.

jenjenten · 17-01-2014 2:52pm

I picked up the tractor for 9.99....last one on the shelf!.....sometimes the website isint accurate and if you go in store you might get lucky!

Which shop is it? Not Other Realms surely? I'll check it out all the same. Thanks.

Also since this is the bargain thread, Smyths on Childer's Road in Limerick have both the Death Star and Super Star Destroyer reduced, only one copy of each, as the packaging on each got damaged. If you don't care about the box being badly beat up, might be worth checking out for some.

The one in Douglas. "Art and Hobby" was it called? I am pretty sure you can give them a buzz and find out if they still got it in stock.

I saw two of these (at least) in childers road today, but they were marked as 11.99.

I didn't get a good look at the specific price, only really saw that it was a sale sticker. I think it was in the three hundreds though.

Will check when I'm in there next for you.

Hi there, my wife was in there today but they said there were no reductions on either of those. They didn't have much to tempt one. But she did manage to pick up a couple of the lego movie mini figs. In the flesh (so to speak) they are pretty cool.

Yes, not sure that one is reduced, I got 9674 and 9678 at 2.99 but 9679 was full price.

HorseSea · 19-01-2014 3:53pm

Went to Smyths Tallaght this morning as reduced Jabbas Hut showing as low stock - it was very low there were none, that was the only shop in Dublin showing stock, so I guessed I missed.

All movie sets and new star wars sets were out, movie minifigs were available but were under the cash desks!! First one one opened was Abe Lincoln.

Nothing else much interested, picked up one Chima 70203 reduced to €4.99 and one 9678 reduced to €2.99, there are a few of that one left.

Went to Smyths in Fonthill next, more LEGO in stock there but no bargains, no Lego Movies and no minifigures. New Star Wars was out though.

jenjenten · 20-01-2014 8:09pm

I was in Smyths....they have all the new Technic sets bar the big cargo plane, no bargins as all the price are equal but mostly higher then the lego website. Probably best to buy direct, and you get VIP points which count toward cash rewards.

Which Smyths? Also LEGO VIP points can be used to reduce cost of LEGO, but not cash rewards, but it's a good point. I noticed that all the Movie sets in Smyths were cheaper than Amazon after currency conversion, but only just.
