The main Daily Deal thread that has been here for so long is without a doubt dominated by US deals and discounts.  Canada pokes in there from time to time and then of course an occasional deal from a European region makes it's way in there.   Obviously this does not really work well for non US regions and we want to try and fix this.  This thread here will become the go to place to post deals for the UK, European countries and for now, just about anywhere else until we see the need to give a region another thread if it takes off.  We completely understand that it would have been futile or intimidating to throw bits of information for German deals in a US dominated thread and we think will allow all of our Non US members to benefit from each other's discount and deal knowledge.  We will do our best to get deal alerts in this thread as much as possible.   We hope this becomes as successful as the other thread for everyone.

Yeah, well-prepared basket and 3k£ spent

I’m working tonight anyway and keeping my eye on Tesco. A few sets are now OOS, and 3-for-2 labels have gone. If Tesco are having problems, it’s possible to snag pricing errors. I don’t think we’ll see much until 9am. Remember that your baskets may empty overnight if checkout isn’t completed.

Who took all the Volcanoes 60124 at £55 and the Yellow Submarines at Tesco? ?

All the ones I had my eye on went oos

The only bargains i could see when i looked were a couple of the star wars buildable characters.

Lakeside lodge didn't look like a bad deal, but who knows when that will retire.

Bought some of the £20 Star Wars sets for the hell of it, but massively disappointing compared to the last two.

There's some cart-errors - combined 2 for 1 with ,,banned 3-4-2" sets like 60051, 60052, 42055, 42052 (x2 each) plus for ex. 42054 (x1 max! because of price) = 296£ discount - really works I was able to get 42053 and 42043 too.. (with stunning extra discount).. BUT someone was faster.. have a nice shopping :

They even lowered the price threshold for banning 3 or more of the same set. Was for the £100 sets then started to apply to the £50 ones

ive bought nothing and feel fine about it

Look on the bright side.  
Them being OOS at 9am on so many key sets, could well mean stock levels are generally low.  Opportunity for a shortage selling into the Christmas market.  
Some years are buying years, some are selling.   Last year was buying, so it's time to unload those 50%+discounts from 12 months ago.  
 

Managed to snag all the ones I wanted but only spent 1/3 of what I did in last years first 3 for 2.

Interesting to see what went OOS overnight

Yellow Sub

Minecraft End Portal

Minecraft Fortress

Technic Porsche

Technic Volvo

All SW battle packs

Destinys Bounty

Mindstorms

Volcano Exploration Base

 

I'm surprised that as one of the apparent hot toys this xmas that Lego Boost didn't go OOS

Very surprised on the OOS on the 2017 sets, particularly the bounty.   Decent price sure, but it’s only been out 2-3 months, there will be another 18 months to pick it up.

But this could well explain the lack of sales this year.  Stock is actually low.   Retailers picking up less, or Lego distributing less, is the question though. 

 

I'd left 3 Yellow Subs and 3 First Order TIE Fighters in my basket, but by 9:50 am they're both OOS. Missed the boat (sub) on this one.

The non-retirement sets must be for QF over xmas.

 

I think the stock was low on quite a few items. Hopefully retailers ordering less  means Lego producing less and more retirements without warning. Certainly seem to be a pattern the past few weeks..

I took all the 60124 last year when they were £44,99 plus 3-for-2 and points. They worked out at £29 a set. Not a good move as they weren’t easy to shift and are still often £45 or less. I’d have left them alone this year anyway. The 21306 Yellow Subs were gone before 3-for-2 went live. Just as well as these could be the next Exo Suit ;-) I’ll only check Tesco again for pricing errors as most sets aren’t bargains.

I spent over £15,000 less than I did last year.... ie.nothing!

I had Dentiny’s Bounty and Yellow Subs in my basket first thing, and just deleted them all as I just couldn’t be bothered. It’s >75% off for me so looking for pricing errors like the £11.33 Spaceports and £8.00 Pop Star Buses of 2016.

They were available when it first started at 12:45am. I manage to get 3 in just before the 3 for 2 was deactivated just after 1am. It won't be an Exo Suit, this will at least break even lol. 

The weird thing is that a few sets that were OOS were available to buy on the individual product page. Will be interesting to see if these get delivered.

Knowing Tesco 5% of the order will be missing like always.

DB was OOS at 3am when I got up to let the dog out. Annoyingly when I went to bed at 00:30 it still wasn't showing 3 for 2.

I got subs on 342 as well.

There was one Yellow Submarine (at 5am) which I combined with 2 Tie Fighters for £95 total cost. That's all I could see of any value. I need those Ties to retire now.

And back again. Managed to bag three.

Was going to post this in the new UK retailers thread but read through and got redirected to the market discussion... but probably should have just out it in here! Not sure if it's a deal as such but Toys R Us have a Ninjago build event tomorrow morning. Think it's nationwide (excluding some smaller stores) . Apparently it's a Ninjago minibuild of the ice tank (?)... taking my godchildren in the morning as need to pick up an order anyway... thought it was worth a mention if anyone was out and about! Not gonna make you rich or be in limited supply but a good stocking filler for little (or big ones I guess!). Have been to these before with the Poes Xwing and Batmans little flying car build events and they weren't precious about age restrictions... will be odd actually going with children this time! Feel free to move if this is the wrong place to post it.
