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

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but need a big of advise on organising my buying!
Currently planning to buy Winter Village Toy Shop, Santas Workshop & Modular Pet Shop...may stretch to the Detective Agency.

Would like to avail of the freebies ( the small train and gingerbread house) if I can, so am watching closely to see when they are available. Am I taking a big chance in " waiting" and in what order should I buy. This is my first year buying a Winter Village set from the Lego website itself, as only discovered them after they had sold out last year.
I know they were sold out at New Year. Will the toyshop sell out that quickly after all it has been " done" before, so thought there was a lot of lego fans who were very disappointed and planning to boycott the toyshop

Hi,

A guy in Smyth's last night said that there was a Lego, shop at home sale coming up. Could anyone confirm that this is the case?

Or is it double VIP points, wnt to pick up the Christmas set and a few bits not I'm shops here

Thanks

Have heard some rumours of this, will check tomorrow to see if they've booked ad copy for it... 20% off most stuff if it is.

I don't think anyone has mentioned seeing the monster minifigs in the wild...

I saw them in Argos yesterday.

However at €3.50 each, I'll wait till somewhere has a multi buy offer.

I'd like to buy a sealed case of the new Series 14 CMFs. How does one go about this? Will a shop sell me one? I can't seem to find the option on S@H either.

cheers.

Does any of you have a Bricklink shop? I'm looking to buy some bricks and I'd like to shop local, if I can. There's a pcbricks shop run by a dragal, but those names don't correspond to anyone on here.

cheers.

I was passing through NI this weekend and stopped at the Toys R Us in Derry. They had some of the new City Space and Deep Sea sets. They also were having a special on collectible minifigs, buy 3 for the price of 2, which was €2.49 each. If anyone is going to be near a TRU then it may be worth a stop.

Someone once asked me about bringing them the Flatiron Architecture from the USA in case it wasn't sold in Europe. Well, it looks like it should be at Smyth's soon.

Not sure if this is the right forum, but I found a mention of Polybags coming in the Daily Mail in the UK for early May. Does that mean that they could be here in the ROI too?

I'm going to be in England May3-5th at Legoland, hopefully it happens then and I can get a bunch.

Hi all.

There is an article in the Buisness section of today's Irish Independent about the possibility of Toys "R" Us moving into Ireland.

Very short article online.

More detail in the printed paper, plan to open 6 stores "in dublin and other parts of the country".

Article also mentions that they will be competion for Smyths Toys.

Regards,
Niall.
