    Maybe try this?

    https://www.elcorteingles.com/en/toys/A31160901-lego-star-wars-advent-calendar/

    I've never used the site so no idea if it's any good in terms of shipping etc.

    Good find and very good price @ only 22 euros - but its last years one - so odd its easier to get last years.

    A few smaller toy stores from outside of Dublin might have some in stock. I know their names have been popping up in the ever-expanding 'Shop In Ireland' Facebook group that is helpfully listing smaller Irish retailers and artists who are now selling online and I've definitely seen them pop up there.

    The only two ones that comes to mind are Duffys and Blacks but there are definitely others too. That Facebook group has become fairly huge but I think you can search within the listings for 'toys' and you might find some.

    Thanks - tried the local ones here on Northside (5K travel restrictions) - but they were shuttered up closed.

    Thanks for all the good tips - I think I may have one now - one at non scalper prices just popped up today on bricklink Romania.

    Always one thing each year impossible to get lol.

    I'm still waiting for my Buzz Lightyear action figure with working lights and sounds. About 25 Christmasses ago one could not be gotten for love nor money.

    Been trying to get that calendar for abiut a week now and seems to be OOS everywhere. There is some terrible price gouging on eBay. Made a few offers , all rejected.

    Would like it but not going to be ripped off.

    I see Lego are looking for nearly e12 for postage!

    Could you pool with a few like minded people (local) and buy enough to get free shipping?

    I opened the lot when I bought it aaaaages ago, because I'm an absolute bastard.

    My kid is only 1, he doesn't care... yet.
