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

The seventh series of the Bricklink Designer program will be available for pre-order on Monday 16th at 8am US pacific time (4pm our time).

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-7/main.page

This round's sets are:

Privateer Frigate Fortuna - €349.99
W.A.L.T - €39.99
Sushi restaurant - €279.99
Alchemist's shop - €199.99
Antique Collection - €109.99

Not a castle in sight but the alchemist shop looks medieval. I love the ship.

If we figure out the direct ordering links, we'll post them here to enable you bypass the Bricklink site altogether and order direct from LEGO.

Hi.

At the moment TLG have Double VIP points on all of the Botanical sets online.

Could be handy if you want to brighten up your home with some "Flowers".

Niall.

A few of our winter village set light bricks are dead, so we need to replace the batteries. In the old days I would have gone to Maplin's for them but they're gone. The likes of Woodies and Screwfix don't stock the right size.
Any tips for where to buy LR41 batteries?

I only just realised the Bricklink Designer Program Series 6 goes live on Monday. I might get the smallest set but I'm not too interested in the others really.

Anyway, these links should go live a few minutes before 4pm like the last time and there's no need to wait going through the links on Bricklink:

910054-1: The Art Factory (2025)

910055-1: Gold Mine Expedition (2025)

910056-1: Off-Road Adventure (2025)

910057-1: Outlaw Forest Den (2025)

910058-1: Sequoia Tree Trail (2025)

The Bricklink Designer Program Series 5 crowdfunding is tomorrow at 4pm. I really thought it was next week but the date snuck up on me!

Apparently there will be more of each set available than usual so it may not sell out as quickly. I'm definitely getting the next in the Mushroom series and the Antique Shop looks really nice. I'm undecided on the Popcorn Wagon but I'll probably end up getting it too.

I hope these links will work tomorrow and they're usually active a few minutes before the listed time:

Hey all. I was looking to buy something on lego.com and use my insiders points to buy a discount. I used to be able to get these 'vouchers' to get a little off my purchase. However, I don't see this anymore. Am I looking in the wrong place? Or are the rewards only items now? Thanks.

I never knew Harvey Norman sold LEGO. I saw some sets on sale there earlier.

[Edit: But by on sale I meant 'for sale' - nothing particularly cheap]

Has there been any release of that the Christmas set might be this year, not too impressed with the candle set and and wreath. But I usually pickup the village type one.

For those of you who like to hold on to your boxes, a warning about Smyths. The Star Wars set I bought today in Jervis had the anti-shoplifting wire around it, but also this NFC sticker that ruins the box when you try to remove it.

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

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.
