I picked up the city lego truck for my collection and got the free tote bag :) My store in Glasgow had the New Republic E-Wing vs. Shin Hati’s Starfighter for £65 in sale.
Thats cool; across the pond I think the only reduced Star Wars sets were the Ghost & Phantom II (currently sold out, not even on back order) and the Pirate Snub Fighter, but that is readily available at other stores for similar prices.
Thanks Ian! The only purchase I made was online and it was to get the Mini Ninjago City Markets set to add to my collection. I used my Insider Points but had to purchase something over $35 Canadian to ship it to me, so I got the Lego Friends Heartlake City Cafe.
@@iainsbricks I got them all four now and two of them double. Goal is to have two full sets before they will disappear in order to have one collection for myself and one for investment purposes / reselling later on.
Good shopping run! I went for the Disney Little Mermaid Royal Clamshell, quite a nice looking larger Disney set and on the list for retirement end of this year. It has double VIP points and was reduced 20% over here in the Netherlands. In order to get to the 200 EUR treshold for the GWP I also picked up the BTS Dynamite set, also going in retirement end of year and right now reduced 30% so IMO great buy. Last set was a smaller LEGO exclusive build called Caroussel Ride, also 20% off and only sold at LEGO official stores over here.
Thanks Ian . The Batman Brickheaz set looks amazing. I hopefully will get to Southampton Lego store soon for a family day out shopping . Keep up the great work 👍 Matt from Dorset
Nice haul as ever and interesting to see how the shop was doing things … saved you loads of time, as I did my orders online and scrolling through everything took ages!! 🤪
@@iainsbricks Have to agree, but you can calculate some good deals if you’re clever with your time … plus I got a good deal on cash back with Quidco … every little helps!!
The current Mercedes Speed champion set with the big black vehicle is an interesting build. Doesn't use the standard base that modern speed champions come with because it's so big. Well worth getting for the variety of build techniques alone. I was thinking about going to Lego store Liverpool yesterday until I woke up and heard my local Merseyrail station was flooded and bus replacements would be in operation. Might have to make a visit on Saturday especially if that new batman brick headz is out.
Thanks for your comments. I probably will get the Mercedes speed champions set at some stage as I do like the look of the build. Hopefully you will be able to get to the Lego store soon to get the new Batman figure.
@@iainsbricks thanks Ian I'm not a d&d fan either but since I bought the wrong one last time I thought I'd ask our Lego oracle. Am I right in saying series 25 just officially retired. Got some of the Bat Lord. Thanks for replying keep up the great work with your channel.
In the Netherlands its reduced but out of stock online. Pretty good deal being 30% off but I already got mine during the May the 4th event - at that moment it was still on the retirement list..
Good Haul…! I bought the John Deere Skidder as well , retiring and short shelf life! Was not on sale here in USA… but I will be looking to get another one during Black Friday.
As always, very enjoyable
Thanks Paul.

I just need 1 more mini ninjago set to complete my collection

Thanks Matt. Really big box for the Batman set. Shame there are so many wasted pieces though.

Thanks Lee. Not the best offers this time but still glad I went to have a look.

@@leeshurmer7063 it certainly does
I love the houses and shops.
I think they look great, but they don't seem that popular with some Lego fans

FYI: there's no apostrophe when pluralising acronyms, e.g. "GWPs" 😉
I'll try and stop doing that ASAP's

FWIW, IRL IDC 😆
@@langserv I just wasted 5 mins of my precious Life googling your acronyms!!!!
@@williamewen383
Lol if you learnt something, you didn't waste your time
That John Deere sets not bad price with double points....
Yes, I think it's been lower on Amazon, but not by much.
Hi Ian ALDI currently has some Lego sets for sale .
Ooh, thanks! I will have a look next time I am in there
Ian which of the series 27 do you think is the one to buy? Thanks
Possibly the one with the red dragon? Not a d&d fan so no idea which characters will be more popular

@@GeoffVickersInvestInBricks Buy all of them !!!! They all look amazing!!!!!
Did they have The Ghost/Phantom? I was tempted with that.
I didn't see one in store.
In the Netherlands its reduced but out of stock online. Pretty good deal being 30% off but I already got mine during the May the 4th event - at that moment it was still on the retirement list..
All over priced even with double points and the poor GWPs..i paid £53 for the £90 new City Coaster from Amazon DE
Certainly not one of the better deal days in store.
What!! No beach bag??
No - I did order one online this morning though.
Don't like the fact we're seeing more and more GWPs being exclusively tied in with the less popular themes..

Thanks. Hopefully you will see the John Deere set on sale before the end of the year.
