Hi All, Well the Britdog is back in England for a while and this weekend was my first visit to a UK toyshop since getting interested in LEGO again. I was in Toymaster, Harrogate (North Yorkshire) on Saturday. While they didn't have much LEGO (mostly the new racers), I did come across a few sets that I haven't seen on sale in the USA during the last 9 months. They had a few of the smaller Scala sets - I don't know anything about these, but they had a white dog in the sets I think. I saw the new Yoda sculpture for the first time in a retail store for 85 UK Pounds (approx $100), they also had technic figures and bionicle masks in polybags. The interesting find for me though was set number 3052 Ninja Fire Fortress at 10 pounds each, which I'm guessing was old stock. I bought all 3 at this price. Next weekend I'm hopefully hitting Leeds,. York and Bradford. Other than the toymaster stores, does anyone know of anywhere interesting to look? Although I'm originally from the UK, I am completely at a loss to which UK stores are good for Lego as I have been in the USA for so long (I'm definately missing Target!)

Woolworth's has a bit of a sale on at the moment - I even managed to pick up a couple of "enchanted island" sets from the one in Harrow (NW London) at about £22 each. They've got some SW at half price too... Steve (23 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
