    UK Deals

    Hi everybody, I'm creating this thread to inform fellow UK members of present Lego deals in stores. Please feel free to add your own if it equates to 35% or more off, or is a special type of deal. 20% is common and so frequent that it would bog down the thread. I'll start... Argos has had a 2 for £15 deal on toys for some time, but now you can get these 3 lego sets in the deal: https://www.argos.co.uk/search/lego-2-for-1/category:15052090/brands:lego/ 75885: Speed Champions Ford Fiesta MSport WRC - normally £12.99 RRP on it's own. 31073: Creator Mythical Creatures Dragon - normally £12.99 RRP. 10900: Duplo Police Toy Bike - normally £10 (£9.99 RRP). So today I ordered 75885 & 31073 for £15 to collect in store. £7.50 each is not bad at all. The only thing with Argos is that your local store may not have all of the desired items but it shouldn't be a problem with these sets until the deal really catches on. Also... Store: The Entertainer (https://www.thetoyshop.com/) (note: deal not on website). 40268: Star Wars R3-M2 - £2 (normally £5 RRP). Seen in at least 2 different store locations. 5004394: The Lego Ninjago Movie Maker (with Jay(?) minifig) - £2.50 (Couldn't see RRP on this so posting because it was also clearance in more than 1 store).
  2. EDIT: I have turned this topic into a place where we, as Historical fans, can efficiently gather and support projects in these themes in Lego Ideas; so please feel free to add any that you find and I will amend this original post.

  3. The Space Warrior looks like a robot Boba Fett.
  4. The Series 25 minifig list, printed in such a fine print that you need an electron microscope to read it.
  5. Not sure what I'm going to do after this series when they're all in boxes. £3.49 is too much to take a punt on, so secondary market scalpers it is.
  6. Ah, well it must be good if you're excited so I'm optimistic. Look forward to seeing it. Oooh, look no further...courtesy of PromoBricks (using Google translate): Female potter with potter's wheel, mug and bowl. Newsboy with bag, newspaper and slingshot. Man in brown T-Rex costume. Orc with cloak, sword and shield with updated fantasy era Orc logo. Man in a carrot costume with a "Farmers Market" sign and orange hair. Animal keeper with koala. Space warriors in green, white and pink. Black Falcon Archer with red hair, cape, bow and black falcon (they also mention a printed falconry glove). Classic astronaut in brown with gauge and baby astronaut in blue. Female referee with soccer ball, yellow and red card. French lady with a wide skirt, a powdered face, a wig and a small white dog. Girl on wooden rocking horse. Official reveal this Wednesday, apparently.
  7. Oh right, so another Black Falcon? That's a rather disappointing choice if so, but as a Castle fan I'll take it over some random City figure. Something I've missed? Do you mean the CMF Rogue? That thing isn't Wolfpack to me. Looks more like a Forestman.
  8. Yes we could be overlooking the possibility of the reused faction being one we've already seen updated. Technically, we've had 2 new Black Falcon torsos, 1 Crusader/Lion Knight, so this could be a variant too. I do hope it's Wolfpack or at least Black Knights though.
  9. WOLF. PACK. Look at my avatar. Don't play with me lol.

    LEGO Store "Build a Minifigure"

    I actually own a couple of those but never took the beard off to notice the wings on the chest. It's unusual to see such an old piece in the BAM.

    Are those Viking-looking torso's new? I haven't seen them before.

    How do you display your castles?

    Everything is bigger in Texas, apparently.

    How do you display your castles?

    Colour me jealous. Mine are mostly in boxes as I rotate the collection to fit the space that I have.
  14. I used this A.I. to generate art based on the simple text "Lego Knight eating a Banana" and got this: Welcome to the future. The scary, scary future.
  15. There's a toy shop in a town that I sometimes visit who just open the bags and sell the figures for RRP. They also have some still in the bags, so I think they just fill up the board with enough to let those who wish to choose pick what they want, do so , and leave some bagged for anyone wanting a surprise.

    Lego Knight eating a Banana

    There's nothing to get, it's just for fun. Those actually turned out quite well. I went all philosophical and asked the AI what an artificial intelligence is scared of - I don't recommend it.
  17. My son and I find this little scene very funny: His little legs sticking out of that narrow opening. I love those scenes in the old leaflets.
  18. I understand where you're coming from but comparing beaten-up boxes to ruffled CMF packaging isn't the same, in my opinion, as I'm not going to be keeping the CMF bags or reselling with the open bag, so it doesn't matter. I'm not sure how bandmates worked, but these packages have holes for hangers, so it's possible the order will be thrown out when shelf-stackers take them from the box.
  19. It's being introduced in September 2023 for CMFs. I'm not sure how an item looks on the shelf should figure into how TLG packages items, unless it's putting people off buying.
  20. So we can't even feel for the ones we want now from this over-priced series. I read the article and saw mention of the feedback, so that when it's inevitably ignored, they can't say it was a mistake.
  21. Welcome to the Historical section of Eurobricks, @BlockyJames. I was thinking about how the Blacksmith would look against the Castle, and to look proportionate, it'd have to be tiny in my opinion. It may be best for me to not think too hard about the sizes with these types of set, considering how few we get.

    LEGO Store "Build a Minifigure"

    Maybe they have all been bought already, but I went to the store shortly after news broke and there was nothing there, even from the other new parts. It's still possible, but seems unlikely that it would happen and the employees wouldn't even know what I was talking about. I'm actually lucky enough to have 2 stores not far from where I live, so I may try the other one which isn't as popular.

    LEGO Store "Build a Minifigure"

    I phoned my local store in the UK on Friday and was told that they don't have the new BAM pieces and hadn't heard anything about new stock coming in either. I was advised to check again in August. How disappointing. I just want some of the new Black Falcon parts.
