CrabslayerT Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Not Smyths, Was commenting that where I reside, there are very few local toy stores and what are here are way over priced. Find some decent deals in Smyths although a currency exchange is required. Quote
Sprocket77 Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Mixels are 3 for the price of 2 in Smyths at the moment ladies and gents. Quote

Sprocket77 Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Yipp, I had a stroke of luck earlier, found a dozen wave 2 mixels, which were 3 for the price of 2. Even got a set of one of the colours. Quote
CrabslayerT Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Republic gunships still on sale in tescos, decent price too. Quote
Sprocket77 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Republic gunships still on sale in tescos, decent price too. What Tesco did you see them in, I haven't seen anything worth getting in any Tesco store, north or south? Quote
CrabslayerT Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) What Tesco did you see them in, I haven't seen anything worth getting in any Tesco store, north or south? Check tescos uk online and have it delivered to your nearest store. Always worth a look in the discounted shelves too. Found some decent bargains there but not often.

CrabslayerT Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Ecto 1 back on sale in ASDA for £35. worth picking up a few more of these I think. Quote
Sprocket77 Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Ecto 1 back on sale in ASDA for £35. worth picking up a few more of these I think.This is pretty much the same price on the Irish Lego site and you get VIP points and a free gift as well. Quote
CrabslayerT Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 This is pretty much the same price on the Irish Lego site and you get VIP points and a free gift as well.was working it out at a £2.50 difference. going by bank exchange rates Quote
Sprocket77 Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 was working it out at a £2.50 difference. going by bank exchange ratesAt today's rate, Lego.ie would be £1.16 dearer, but you'd get VIP Points which come to £1.81 and you get a free gift. Quote
CrabslayerT Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I must be using the wrong bank! lol. If i had to change from yoyo to stg i'd be more likely to buy them from lego. But i see the logic now, thanks lad! Quote
Sprocket77 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Anyone find that Irish people are ignorant gobshites when it comes to ebay feedback?I've only just started selling, so small sample size, but I've sold 13 items in the last 6 weeks. 3 to Irish people, 10 to abroad. I have 9 feedbacks from the 10 foreign sales and 1 from the 3 Irish. Grrrrr, it's especially worse when one of those Irish buyers is the ass who keeps bidding one cent on each of my auctions.Rant over. Edited June 18, 2015 by Sprocket77 typo 1 Quote
CrabslayerT Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Ignorance is hard wired into us from a young age, as is being a closet racist(But sure its only a bit of craic!)

Sprocket77 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Thought I'd bump this thread, anyone have any lucky finds recently, I'll start it off.Found a Venator Republic Class Attack Cruiser for MSRP in Louth of all places, sold it 5 weeks later for double. I love out of the way toy shops. Quote
Sprocket77 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Argos have a couple of Lego Movie sets at half price, but no stock in any of there Dublin stores. Just if anyone down the country is looking. Quote
CrabslayerT Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Hey gents, just checking in. Any local deals going? Has anyone seen any series 14 MF yet? gonna check TRU later Quote
CrabslayerT Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Ok so I went to TRU. No series 14, they even checked out back. There is a special offer on at the minute though, spend £20 or more and get a sticker, collect 4 stickers and get a £20 voucher. Also found 5 castle cavalries and ice cream trucks from TLM. Quote

Saw some series 14 in a out of the way store.How much did you pay for the TLM sets, should be getting big discounts on them? Quote
CrabslayerT Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Might need to edit my comment, bought 1 CC for £20, wanted a sticker.... There were about 5 left of both CC and the ice cream truck. Also loads of bad cop chase and a couple of others. No real discounts on them. Quote
Sprocket77 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 You should be getting at least 30% off on TLM sets if you're buying them now for investment purposes.You being up north, Debenhams in Belfast had some sets at 30% off over the weekend if you're interested. Quote
Sprocket77 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Thought I'd try and resurrect this thread, anyone buying much at the moment, apart from Tumblers of course? Haven't found much in the way of bargains since Christmas anywhere. Quote
