Wonder if the rrp of the ghostbuster tower will be discounted :laughing:

You don't need mortar with Lego, it holds together on its own.

You're thinking of Mega Bloks

Do you know of anything that will be going into the sale?

Edit: Just tried to buy something, which sold out whilst I was about to pay. So annoyed.

Wonder if the rrp of the ghostbuster tower will be discounted :laughing:

Don't even think about it wifey :P

Does the bricks and mortar store sale also start tomorrow?

See what you mean, amazing how worked up people can get about lego!

Well, unless you've stepped on it, then its understandable.

Gimme that sweet sweet Simpsons House for cheap.

50% off 75% off?

Pirates will go down to make way for Nexo Knights.
Winter Toy Shop will go down
Chima will go down because its sh*t

Hi all, quick tip, check out the US store where the sale has started. Should give a fairly good indication.

http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Sales-And-Deals

Looks like...

City Arctic
Pre-Force Awakens Star Wars
2014 Chima as predicted
Pirates due to Nexo Knights
City Fire and Police from the old range i.e. 2014
Friends Jungle

It's basically anything that's still left in stock from January 2014 and earlier ranges, roughly, excluding things that have been migrated into new packaging/ranges - e.g. the High Speed Passenger Train has been re-packaged into the new range.

Hope this helps - and of course the UK sale won't be exactly the same but similar.

Discounts are only usually 20-30% at first as already mentioned so many sets are the same or cheaper at Amazon BUT of course that excludes sets that are already out-of-stock at Amazon, Argos etc. - so it's a balance between seeking out a price-per-brick bargain and the potential scarcity of sets that stop being supplied to major retailers/toy shops at the same time. So for example last time out there were mega-bargains (if you wanted the sets) eventually on the Lego Movie sets as there was excess stock at retailers, sets eventually ended up at 50% off or even better IF THEY DIDN'T go out of stock. But then other sets will sell out either at 20% off or indeed many at full price.

It's a real balance between how much you want the set, how well-stocked it is elsewhere, whether it will drop to 20%, 30%, 50% and whether it sells out at those prices. Surprisingly things often sell out when at 20% off at the official store when they are in fact cheaper still at Amazon... people love buying direct for some reason despite even the sale prices often being not-that-cheap - the brickset website is useful here too if you've never used it.

EDIT: SHOULD REALLY also have mentioned the exclusives aspect e.g. some sets are exclusive to the Lego site and one other retailer e.g. Creator Mini is Lego + John Lewis - those sort of sets will go at 20% because they can't be found cheaper, if they do indeed end up in the sale.

20% or 30% max i'm guessing. You can change region settings to see what items are on sale and at what price… worth trying if you can't wait till midnight.

No the US hasn't started that has always been like that. The US Sale is different from Lego [email protected] Europe. It will be nothing like what US has down

Probably a damp squib like Black Friday with a limit of 1 on any deal worth having.

Why would you need more than one anyway?

So according to you the Europe sale will be "nothing like" the US sale??

So you forecast presumably that there will be No sets in the Europe sale that match those in the US sale...........

Well if that turns out to be the case I bow to your superior, inside knowledge of the Jan 2016 Lego sale :smiley:.

I would like a Tumbler set please. If they could magically make more. Thank you. :-/

There's no way you could source the lego for £50 to build anything remotely resembling the ghostbusters hq

Haha, good luck...

...

Tie fighter please

If you change your country region to Finland (2 hours ahead), you can already see the offers.

load of rubbish in my opinion :disappointed:

Can't change mines to finland :disappointed:

​You can't say it's "Comment of the Year" this early on! :-)

That's a terrible sale selection, especially compared to the sale Lego has in the US.

Just gone live - absolutely appauling! Most items state "Call to check product availability" but wait, they are not accepting phonecalls during this busy time!

Anyone know if this sale in store too? If so, I may pop a visit to the Watford store tomorrow.

No pirates on sale, many of the soon to be phased out sets are not on sale. Mini figure packs higher price than Argos.

The sale is in store too nationwide except the lego theme park and hotel.

Lego doesn't price match other stores, and prices will likely be the same in store as online and stock will be different and more likely to be a better chance of getting rare items than the website.

It's only when you look through this sale selection that you realise how dull some lego ranges can be. I'm usually blinded by many of the great designs in store. I guess most of those sets will be reduced further over the next month. Glad I waited up till midnight :wink: goodnight folks.

Wow, disappointed. But still looks like a few ranges are sold out!

phoenix fire temple looks good

What a blinding sale.

Some major fail with Lego this morning. Saw Santa's Workshop on sales, showing "call for availability. Called at exactly 9am when lines were opened. Then was on hold for 15 minutes and the item changed to "Sold Out". Kept on the line until 20 past, still no one picked up........

Last year, i stayed up waited for the Sale. Bagged loads of great Sets including the Xmas Limited Edition. All stated "available now," then when i received confirmation: "Expected ship date" was in around 4 weeks. Gradually, they cancelled the enitre order practically. It seems, we loose out on the time difference as i assume they have one European Distribution Centre and as we are an hour behind - loose out. There was a Programme on Boxing Day about "Lego at Christmas" where they were keen to promote how superior their Customer Service is. As much as i love the Product - i think the service is pretty shoddy for an expensive item!

Just mirroring what other people have commented so far - poor product selection in this sale, and the discounts aren't even that great either :disappointed:

Just tried to call the UK help line to 'check availability' & it's closed? And the santas workshop has been taken off the website...?! Whaaaat?.

I bought Pirate items in the sale.

The ship £55 and the other 2 sets £22 and £12.50

I logged on as soon as it went live. And 10% of items was call!!
Very poor. But at least i got pirates :-) they only lasted 9 months!!

Picked up pirates ship Manchester this morning still had 4 there, no Santa as well.

Waste of time.

cold.

New items added!!!

New items added over night - majority require a call to check stock, joined phone queue at 9.05am and the at-at and mos eisley were sold out by the time my call was answered. Sigh...

00-800-5346-1111, option 1

Disappointed my items have come and they have cancelled the main sale item.
