Buying Lego in Ireland

Private sellers - register

Originally this section was to register sellers that sell on various online fora under user names that differ from their own (or Brick.ie user-name).

With the advent of GDPR and following a review of the risks, this is no longer considered necessary. We will follow-up on a case by case basis any reports from members of potential abuses of Lugbulk or other Support programs.

Loot of the day

We all find great deals from time to time that are either one-off's, that last item of old stock on a shelf, great ebay steals etc. This thread is for sharing with us those great finds without clogging up the sales and deals threads which should remain focused on deals that are potentially repeatable, usually in the major toy stores or online.

I'll start the ball rolling by confirming that the Littlewoods offer posted a few weeks back in the sales and deals section showing the Mystery Mansion

Fetching set 75904-1...
as available for delivery a few weeks later for €39.99 (free postage) has been honoured (LS@H price is €89.99) and Breda's set arrived today. Good parts for that price.

*Live Price Comparisons Across Retailers

Just posting this here as it might be useful to some people when deciding where/when to purchase sets.

The site is: http://www.lughq.com

It's a pet project I've been working on for about 2/3 years now but only recently decided to make it publicly available, the site keeps track of set prices across different on-line retail stores, the prices are checked once an hour and if there is a change it will be reflected on the relevant set page.

Currently the site only checks 3 retailers in Ireland as I want to see how feasible/maintainable the project is over a longer period of time and when I start to add more stores.

I have tons of plans on where the site can go for example: price alerts, price trends, price percentage increases/decreases, submission of discount/'shelf' prices per store by site users, location specific information, stock levels and so on, but all depends on what type of feedback I get.

Have a look and be honest about what you think, don't forget it's only a be

Bricklink Designer program 2024 Crowd Funding Series

As a reminder the Series 1 for 2024 goes live at 4pm Irish time. There are 5 sets available (some a bit pricey)

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-1/main.page

I assume, if it is the same system as before, you order on Bricklink which will transfer you to the LEGO.com website to process the order and receive payment.

There will be a maximum of 30,000 of each set produced (up from previous rounds) and a maximum of 2 per household. It will be the summer before these ship.

Bricklink pop up store - any feedback?

Since September the MOC Pop-Up Store has been live on BrickLink with additional MOCs being added in October (ignoring the downtime this past week). The Community Engagement team does not have a real read on how AFOLs are reacting to this new feature/option.

Are people here generally aware of it? Have any of you actually purchased any of the MOCs?

Any feedback you'd like to give back?

Bricklink compromised by Ransomware attack

Bricklink is currently down due to a ransomware attack.

The site was taken off line shortly after numerous breaches which concluded with a bricklink forum post by a hacked account indicating all accounts had been hacked and the hackers would begin purging store records (orders/inventory etc) for every hour that passes until payment of €50,000 in bitcoin is made.

If you use the same username/password for other sites, probably wise to change it.....

PAB notifications

The pick a brick team is going to test providing us with lists of upcoming element launches and notifications of when elements will be removed from pick a brick.

The team has provided a list of soon to be discontinued 'last chance' items.

I am not sure if the link below can be accessed by everyone but if it cannot and anyone is interested I can send them a file. Please PM me if interested.

Is buying Lego by KG Worth it?

Only new to trying to build up stock for builds.

im seeing used lego going for the kilo 25Euro per kilo on average.

Is it worth buying the kilo just to start building up stock?

And on a side note: Do you ONLY use Lego or do you use off brands aswell?
or is that a No No ?
