Called in at Smyths last night to take advantage of the current offer. (Essentially 20% if you do it right)
Picked up, Harry Potter The Great Hall, Modular Diner, and..............The UCS Falcon . The box is HUGE !!
Its unlikely to ever be cheaper than 20% off. Lego would have to offer 4 x VIP points just to match it.
Well chuffed.

That's an epic deal. In Cardiff on the weekend so I'll see what they have!

If you just want the Falcon find something else at 1p or higher, and you will save around £130

Cardiff currently have 2

Enjoy the Falcon It's a great build...

Still need to find a good way to display mine as it's currently under the spare bed.... we don't really have space for a coffee table or any obvious shelf locations so need to think about it... I promised my wife when I bought it that I'd take it apart again to store it until we someday had somewhere to display it, but couldn't bring myself to do it and it's been up there for over a year now

Thank you for this info!

I need another to store for future

Its interesting.
LEGO now seem to let some brand stores sell what used to be exclusives to the LEGO store/S@H.
Not all, but more now it seems than previously.
The modulars are great to pick up with 20% off. These are not normally available with some of the great discounts from Amazon etc.
VIP points are welcome, but even on double points events, its only 10%.

They're struggling. Their sales are down quite heavily. I wonder how well this new adult line of Fish will pan out, seems kinda desperate to me.

repurchased my first ever Technic set from eBay (set 8860)

My mum bought it for me at Christmas many moons ago.

Listed as 100% complete will check this weekend.

Argos are running a 3 for 2 offer

Argos are running a 3 for 2 offer

They've increased prices just prior to offering this before so do check the prices before jumping in.

 

[Psymonkee]

Bah, saw the Star Wars offers at Amazon, ummed and ahhh'd over it, chose not to. Now my sister wants LEGO for her birthday. Dammit!

 

[philstanbridge]

I'm so glad I got the x-wing when I could - £28 in the end, thanks to the discount and a voucher. My son has been going on about Star Wars lego for some time, and his collection of City and others is growing rapidly. But the price of the Star Wars and Harry Potter has been putting us off.

Yup! Some things I want are vastly cheaper on Amazon right now: BB-8 is £55 there, £75 at Argos. White X - Wing is £70 vs £90

Ugh.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

They are always RRP during 3-for-2, double discount is asking a bit much isn't it? Amazon drops the prices in individual sets to compete, it happens every time nothing new....

EDIT: Argos is works out way better better if you are buying 3 sets of a similar price. Amazon works out better if buying outside of 3 for 2 or if you want 3 sets at very different price points.

Did manage to get a second ucs millennium falcon in the sale!
520 was a bargain I couldn't miss

I guess some of you heard about a French YouTuber who had his whole Lego collection stolen. Poor chap

Some guys setup a go fund me which has gone viral on Lego Reddit sites.

Thought I would share here

Thinking of selling my Technics Porsche to clear some space for new sets, however when I was finished with the build I was left with a handfull of small pieces leftover which I have no idea how I missed out of the build

Anyway, to make things worse I don't know what I did with the pieces so am unable to put them back in the box. Do you think this would put most potential buyers off? From what I can tell the set looks and operates perfectly fine without the missing parts.
