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

Hi everyone,
Ok so I've been quiet for a while, due to other priorities I haven't been around, but now it's time to start a new project.

I've begun building a new MOC and have realised how hard it is to purchase large quantities of bricks without having to go to many different sellers and purchase small quantities over a large period of time.

My question is; I need approximately 15,000 2x4 tan bricks alone for my new project, is there any way of buying these directly from LEGO, or anywhere else that people know of.

There's also a large quantity of 2x2, 1x2 and a variety of arches required. All in the same colour.

Any suggestions greatly received.
Thanks
Wes

Hi all.

Has anybody here ever had a Pick A Brick order split by TLG to facilitate postage?

The reason that I am asking, is because this happened to me.

I placed the Pick A Brick order on SaH on the 15th of October.
It was dispatched on the 19th of October.
It arrived to me on the 25th of October.
On checking the order approximately 150 pieces were "Missing" out of 1,600+ pieces that were in the order.
After speaking with TLG's customer service on the 26th of october, and enquiring about the missing pieces, I was informed that due to the size of the order, it was split, because it would all not fit into 1 bag/box for postage.
I was told that it was all dispatched on the 19th, and would take 19 days to get to Ireland.

After thinking about the response that I got, I am beginning to wonder about it, as 100 of the missing pieces are 1x1 tiles, which would not have taken up that much room in the bag.
And also in the past, I have gotten larger Pick A Brick orders, around 2,5

I came across the clothing site Uniqlo which has some LEGO branded t-shirts. Unfortunately they appear only to be available now in Small and XS but they might be of interest @ 9.90 each. No idea what shipping to Ireland is but its EU.

The shirt with the single LEGO logo on the front and the old logos on the back looks particularly nice.

Just noticed it today on the Harry Potter CMF's, they clearly state that there are '22 limited edition' figures but they have a limit of 20 per purchase.

Is this them shooting themselves in the foot or intended ploy to make you buy 22 over two purchases in turn you will most likely buy more then 22 as you are making two purchases and in theory allows you top purchase 40!?

With that said I thought they check purchases and if you make multiple transactions with the limit reached on a set they cancel the newer order(s)!?

Just thought its a good value compared to what's on bricklink. Many smaller sets reduced as well.

Curious as to how it works for buyers on purchases, I made my first order today for ~3,500 pieces, do people count every piece and complain if there not all there or is there an unwritten rule of say x amount of pieces either way is ok?

I see the new Lego Store in Belfast opens on Saturday

I came across the following polybags in Tesco, Nutgrove:

I got the last City one. There was still one pug left and a few of the others. Anybody spot these in other branches?

Guys I've set up a page on Facebook called Lego buy and sell ireland if anybody wishes to join it will hopefully grow to be a big group

Hi Folks,

I know this is listed as a retired product but I was wondering if anyone has spotted this in any stores, hopefully at a great discount?

Thanks,
Dave
