I was going to ask how everyone is going collect their lego. I've sent mine to about 10 different stores that i will collect from over the next fortnight. Got a birthday party at my house for my 2 year old nephew tomorrow so will have to quietly sneak out to do the local Tesco (mid size metro). Is everyone getting home delivery?

Is everyone getting home delivery? I find that store pick up is a better option, as if you decide you no longer want your items you can simply go to tesco website and cancel order. They also hold the items for 7 or 14 days, so if your struggling for space at home is also a plus. Most people have 9-5 jobs so its also more convenient to do store pick ups instead of waiting for courier to redeliver and then have to go pickup at some depot Quote

It's just too much for my local Tesco Express to store and I can't be arsed to drive a big van through horrendous traffic to several other branches let alone be able to park. I'll check condition at the door as items can still be rejected like I have done with Argos. However, Tesco have been good and I don't foresee a problem. Quote

Alpinemaps Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Not a set, but hit the PAB wall at one of my local stores: 3 Quote
Phil B Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 7 hours ago, Alpinemaps said: Not a set, but hit the PAB wall at one of my local stores: You left some money on the table there - I always build it up in the center, plus a little up on the sides, to entirely fill the inside of the lid. My store has no issue with taping down a wobbly lid, as long as contents don't spill out. Typically I use plates to make a fitting lid on whatever I put inside the cup, then put the PAB lid onto that. 2 Quote
Alpinemaps Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Lol. Yeah I don't bother with the inside of the lid but I should. Can't complain too much. Got over 1200 parts out of it. 1 Quote

Good point on the political side of things, i never thought of that! Good job we dont have an Architecture Brussels EEC Parliament building or you would have keep taking it apart every 2 weeks and rebuild it into Strasbourg 1 Quote
MinifigW Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Dropped by a Kmart I've never been to before. They where doing the additional 50% clearance sale but I didn't really see anything that caught my eye. (Besides a 2013 coast guard set that was still $19.99) ended up grabbing: Lewa master of jungle $7.00 (additional 50% off $14.00) x2 Olafs summer fun $1.99 each (BOGO free, manager had to override... Just like last week) used $3 in surprise points & $2.50 in regular points. Got out for around $6 2 Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) After getting Tesco to "Price Promise" the recent drop from £49.49 to £44.99, my 60124 Volcano sets (RRP £79.99) now work out at just £30 each which makes my "above average order" a total no-brainer. Here's the first 53 sets that arrived just now via DPD... They weren't in factory boxes of 3 but, they appear to be in mint condition with seal code 42S6. It's actually better like this as each set is covered in top quality bubble-wrap that I'll simply re-use before putting into a box to post, saving me more money and time ;-) The other 46 will come via Yodel next week and these should be good as it's the same courier that LEGO Shop at Home uses. Now to load them all up again and stash them in the warehouse. She'll do her nut if I leave them there! ;-) Edited October 31, 2016 by TabbyBoy typo Quote
