I tried to create new topic, but I can't, probably I'm to fresh. Tell me please... What's with Castle theme in UK? Why isn't it sold anywhere? Well, I can buy it from Lego online shop or from ebay, but why isn't it in the shops? Is no one interested in it or what? Wherever I go, is it Toys R Us, The Entertainer, Tesco, Argos, John Lewis, you name it - therre's mostly City, Star Wars, Indy and useless Bionicle. Also there are no big Pirate sets, only the smallest ones if they are at all. The biggest choice I found in Toys R Us, but no Castle sets at all at the moment. They were there a year ago, but even then just the small ones. I have no problem with buying online, but sometimes you just want to go and get it without waiting and without additional shipping costs.

Hello everybody! I'm from Poland, but I live in UK now. I woke up from my dark ages about 1.5 year ago and started collecting. I haven't created anything yet, but I'm going to start soon, just needed to get enough bricks to start. Finally I can afford it, which was impossible in my homeland, where Lego is much more expensive and average people earn much less. I'm interested mostly in Castle theme, Creator-like buildings and then Vikings, Pirates, Adventurers, Indy and similar. I have a few questions for start: Are there any UK Lego events/fairs to go?
