Brick.ie The Irish Association for Adult Fans of LEGO®

Anyone near a Tesco that has two of these on sale for 16each that could grab me two i'd be very grateful, my two local tesco's did not have any.

If anyone sees this set in their local shop could you pick it up for me or let me know where to get it?

Just got a massive haul from gumtree for the pricely sum of 100e, now it needs cleaning and some kiddie damage on some bricks but overall alot of stuff.

So far

parts from:
7256 jedi starfighter and vulture driod 2005
7259 Arc fighter 170 2005
7261 Clone turbo tank 2005
7250 Clone scout walker 2005
7258 Wookie attack 2005
7264 Imperial inspection 2005
8635 Mobil agents command centre 2008
7707 striking venom exo force 2006
7326 rise of the sphinex 2011
8053 Technic mobil crane 2010

thats the first box and a half, still another 2 and half box's to go, guy said there was a falcon in there also and have found parts of a tie fighter of some type but trying to narrow it down.

Anyone have any tips for sorting out stuff like this?

I've opened up this thread to post the arrival of 2013 sets in Irish stores

We've already seen Chima sets in Toymaster and Smyths.
We've seen series 9 minifigures in Art and Hobby and Smyths
We've seen Friends 'pet' polybags in Smyths

The first wave of 2013 Friends sets are also available in Smyths to entice you to spend those Christmas vouchers. No sign of star wars yet.

Series 9 collectible minifigures are now available in Smyths (at €2.69). I saw them in Smyths Naas yesterday.

Hobbit sets now in stock also, or at least they were ... I've never seen the LEGO aisles so cleared out of stock. I bet sales are up this year as the shelves were piled high only a few weeks ago.

I was in town yesterday evening and spotted the new Legends of Chima sets on the shelf in Toymaster on Jervis Street. I'm not sure if any other retailers in Ireland have these sets yet. They are not available through Lego Shop at Home yet, but according to Brickset they have surfaced in stores in the UK and the US.

The star wars advent calendars are available in Smyths. Price e29.99

Series 8 Minifigures are now available in Tesco at the princely sum of €2.99 each.

Tesco Naas had two boxes this evening.

The Team Britain minifigs that were not going to be sold outside the UK are now available in Art & Hobby. Toymaster in Jervis street is expecting them next week.

Yesterday morning, I was in Dundrum Town Centre and went into Hamleys to see if any of the Summer 2012 sets were available. They weren't, but to my surprise, I spotted some exclusives that have never appeared in any retail outlets in Ireland as far as I know. I noticed the following sets available:

10197 Fire Brigade
10218 Pet Shop
10212 Imperial Shuttle
10221 Super Star Destroyer
10219 Maersk Train
10216 Winter Village Bakery

Some Architecture sets were also available, although I don't recall which ones. While this may come as a surprise, they are a lot more expensive than they are at Shop at Home. I didn't record all the prices, but I remember the Maersk Train was about EUR130 while it is only EUR114.99 at Shop at Home. If anyone is interested in these sets, I still recommend Shop at Home, but if you don't mind paying more you might be interested.
