Buying Lego in Ireland

Toys R Us - closing down sales have begun

With the Newtownabbey store nearing full closure (all Lego cleared within days of the closing down sale beginning - I think someone must have maxed out their credit card to make a killing on eBay) the Sprucefield store now has 10% off all Lego, which will bring it down nearly as low as Smyths prices. I think remaining stores will have the same deals, and with the prognosis being poor, the deals should get better.

It's sad to see, but Toys R Us made the massive mistake of relying on the brand name. Smyths seem to be competing rather effectively with supermarkets, Argos and even Amazon, but Toys R Us never did.

BOI Live Life (debit card cashback)

Bank of Ireland have just launched a cashback service for their debit cards, S@H is currently on it with 5% back until 21/03. Considering that's a similar enough rate to other services I could see that being extended repeatedly/indefinitely.

Rather easier to use than third party services as the cash goes back to your current account.

Hi Folks,

I'm looking to motorise the Winter Holiday Train

Fetching set 10254-1...

The only Power Functions available to buy in store in Ireland is

Fetching set 8293-1...

Are the parts included in this set enough to motorise the train?

My only other option is to buy the Passenger Train and cannibalise the power functions from it

Fetching set 60051-1...

Thanks for any & all help!

First time ever seeing Lego in TK Maxx Wexford (well with the exception of books and storage boxes)...pity it wasn't much of a discount - €19.99

Boots.ie Click & Collect

Has anyone used the click and collect service on boots.ie before, I ordered some Lego last Friday, grated it was a bank holiday it was dispatched on the Tuesday and I haven't heard a word since. Supposedly 2-3 days for delivery.

Anyone any similar experiences?

competition using brick stock and brick link store

Hi ALL

Abit of advice needed. so i started putting parts etc into my store using brickstock and last 6 months sales and average and increasing by a penny like you tube videos mention. however, when i add a mini mig this way or other parts I noticed tonight that other irish stores are selling well below the 6 months average and turns oit then my prices are too high.

should i put this in manually to compete or stick to brickstock average guidance?

Large bulk orders

Outside of Lugbulk, what are the options to buy a large amount in bulk in bricklink? Not even sure if this is large, but let's say you are willing to place a 300 euro order. Do you get discounts? Is this appropriate to ask? Is that even a large order at all?
