Cheers Rog Hello Thanks i did hear that it was not good, Last time i went was about 2 months after it opened and plently of empty shops. I had a lego binge today i also purchased from argos the 8292 cherry picker from argos for £36 as they have upto 1/2 price on some lego, I did purchased this set for £49.99 about 3 weeks ago form my nephew. I thought it looked great especially with the power functions. Cheers Brogusblue
Lord Thrawn Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Galleria is only good for the cinema now guys.
mrchris Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 The range is ok, certainly best ive seen (toys r us in general) apart from lego shops. they have offer when you spend £75 at moment but you have only a week or two to spend the bonus £20 after christmas.
Jay Posted December 6, 2008 Author Posted December 6, 2008 Hello I was in toys r us and the range is o.k a lot smaller than it used to be, I was looking around today and the lego ranges available in shops is small and hard to find except lego shops which are few and between nearest to me is milton keynes, i looked at the entertainer, toys r us, tesco. I think there was a shop that sold nothing but lego near amersham but is now a entertainer, Cheers Brogusblue
The Rancor Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Considering this topic is called TRU Uk... My local TRU has a massive selection of Lego (almost too much to be sold) I was weighing all my Christmas presents and cash for a massive Lego fest before Christmas with 09 sets... ... it doesn't look hopeful because there's no room on the shelves for 2009 sets! But I want them. P.S: I have Big Rig. One of my favourite creator sets ever with those details.
paul_delahaye Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 If your making the effort to drive to lakeside, you may as well just pay the £1 to cross over the bridge and drive 5 miles down the road and go to the Lego shop at bluewater, it may not offer big discounts but they tend to have the range, last year they had some of the new year sets available in early December.
Eskallon Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Talking about TRU my local TRu is good for star wars fans especially but for mainly castle fans they hae no sets apart from once I saw dwarfs mine defender.
paul_delahaye Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I have always been slightly disappointed by Toys R Us in the UK, they tend to have excessive amounts of the stock that no one wants to buy, and they almost never have any offers on Lego Just outside Reading in the UK we used to have a Warehouse creatively called "Redaing Warehouse" who had a great range of Lego at abouyt 10% below the going rate. They often had old sets on the shelves. However after a modernisation refit a couple of years ago they unfortuantley no longer seem as good. Paul
