Millennium Falcon 75105 down to €132.99 in Argos

Minecraft The End is only €10 this morning in Smyths, http://www.lughq.com/set-21107/, good value at only 0.02 cent a piece, got myself two

I don't recall it being all on the one day or a couple of days, I'll try find one of the sets price history with this occurance.

I haven't studied business for more than a decade at this stage but I think I'm sure a product has to be at a set price for a certain amount of time before it can be dropped and declared a 'sale' or 'discount' price.

Having something at 9.99 on Monday, 10.99 on Tuesday and then 'on sale with 20% off' on Wednesday at 8.99 is infringing some trade rule.

...If someone can prove me wrong on this, I'd be delighted. I don't want to hear that stores online and high-street are being this obviously underhanded.

That was my understanding too.

On a site note, keep an eye on Littlewoods, I've seen numerous instances where a set of say RRP 19.99 was put up at 90.00ish and dropped to say 14.99 and the discount percentage and amount are left on the product page, so anyone that doesn't know much about expected RRP are getting mislead on the discount, seen it on at least 7 maybe 8 of their product listings for LEGO, might be a genuine mistake entering in the price on their end but doesn't take away from the fact that the displayed discount is very misleading.

I'm fairly sure the reason Argos have their high price as standard is so they can have the big red 20% or 30% discount logo on the leaflet or the website when they have a "sale" on some Lego sets. That and to make the 3 for 2 on toys look better value than it actually is.

On the below link you'll see what it typical of Argos, you can see that the price was 9.99 and then a couple of days later it went up to 10.19, then back down to 10.00 just above RRP and then down to 7.99 as it is at present where Smyth's have already been at that price since the 29th April.

Smyth's seem to be very good at keep prices at RRP, they only store in Ireland I have seen that are continuously consistent.

It looks like Argos marked these up a bit going by the previous price. The RRP is €8.99.

Smyths have the full range of these Microfighters Series 3 at the same price [URL="http://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/toys/lego-bricks/c-775/lego-star-wars/?page=1&pagesize=12&viewall=False&sort=vs_775 desc,boost desc&fz=False&f_attr_Category=LEGO Star Wars&pr=price:{7TO8]"]here[/URL].

Argos do things like this a lot. Mark a higher price and then have a 'sale' bringing them down to the Smyths price or just above it. It's a rare occasion that Argos sell any Lego cheaper than other retailers.

...though when they do, I go and buy a few Simpsons minifigures for 0.99c each.

It was annoying. Got to the ashbourne Argos and they had 8 on display. Went to buy some and they said they couldn't sell them as they were reserved and should have been taken off the shop floor. Disappointed

Interesting, I could have sworn that the UCS Tie Fighter was reduced to €169.99 yesterday as I worked it out it would only cost me €150 (€149.99) if I used my €20 voucher.

Today it seems to be €179.99 . . . . . .

Considering selling my lego, I have full set of Helms Deep with box and instructions fully made however.

Hi, would anyone have a rough figure to bricklink the usc X wing 10240, the prices on eBay are very disheartening but I suppose expected now that it's retired. Getting back into Lego after a ten year absence, can't wait to get going again.

Bascically looking for the cheapest way to get one

Really want the Imperial Troop Transporter for the figs! A nice bit off but I'll just Bricklink Captain Phasma. It's a hideous looking creation.

Id hang on if you cant get a good price. She is to be in the next movie so will be in more sets. Bb8 is in at least 3 more sets coming in the 2nd release.

Nope i went in but not worth it. Some minecraft down but just a little.

Lego sales are always like a couple of euro. Dont think i've every seen a massive discount off a set. Always seems to be a couple of euro.
