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

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.

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 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.....

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.
