Lego Store Visit London Leicester Square June 2024 To Buy Barad-Dur

In todays video I take my monthly trip to the Lego store. This month I make my first visit to the Leicester Square Lego store in London, this is the first time I have been back here since Christmas. Today is an exciting day as its release day for Lord of the Rings Barad-Dur set which I also was able to set signed by the designer. I will show you round the Lego store seeing some of the new sets, then show you my haul.

What Lego sets released on June 1st did you buy?

[@BrickReporter]

Nothing! Waiting for the august sets

[@bossman7009]

Woooo we'd been waiting for this one! I picked up Barad Dur too bur just online 😁

[@farzamfar]

I managed to pick up Barad-dûr from the Lego House on Launch Day. I was the first in line, but a Lego employee was the first to check out 😅 They had gotten 16 sets in stock, all were signed by both Antica and Ashwin, the lead (?) designers and they had made unique drawings on each one. Great pickups!

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

@@BrickReporter yeah August looks insane, thankfully July is looking very quiet

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

@@bossman7009 oh nice one, it’s an awesome set, looks so impressive in person🙂

Hello mate🙂

[@craigshackleton1652]

I have just finished building the truck last night. Very enjoyable build. Just three stickers in total. Two are for the hot dog stand and the other one is for a 2x2 tile inside the drivers cab acting as the tv. It's about three inches longer than the previous yellow truck and maybe a few centimetres taller. Great to look at them side by side.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Oh I have just started building it, so far very much enjoying the build and only 3 stickers is a very nice thing. Looking forward to seeing the finished build🙂

[@foreverfornever1124]

Im actually a little shocked at just how big the TriWizard arrival set is. The ship is pretty big itself. Also saw how big Aragog was in that display case for the new forbidden forest set haha. Awesome you got a signed Barad dur though! Id be willing to keep that one for investment purposes and then going and getting another haha

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Ahh I was blown away by how large the Durmstrang is, I may pick it up later this month, Aragog did look decent too. Haha I would like to keep it sealed but not sure I want to spend another £400 on another😂

[@simonmoss101]

Really glad you got the Barad-Dur and signed too 👍. You’ll have to make sure you keep the box pristine now and encase it in a case of its own 😂

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Haha yeah kinda makes me not want to open it lol but I’m not buying another one so will have to😂

[@caronmills8983]

How lucky are you to get a signed set. I've built the truck and it's a good looking set. I picked up Barad Dur and the promo. I want the Durmstrang Ship but it will have to wait now as I finally also got the D&D set.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Oh it was a very nice surprise, I was very fortunate as he was only there for a couple of hours🙂Glad you got the D&D set, it’s quite amazing, the dragon is quite something

[@GholaMuadDib]

Congrats on getting that Fell Beast with Barad-dur. It’s a fun little build. Mine was missing the Ring Raith's sword. No biggie. It was a free gift. I contacted Lego about the missing piece. Should arrive in mail in a few weeks. I went back to the Lego store to spend my points from Barad-dur and the Dune Ornithopter. I had $24. I got the Legolas & Gimli Brick Headz with Gandalf & The Balrog Brick Headz.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Ahh that’s sucks the sword was missing, Lego have really good customer service so glad they are fixing that for you🙂Thsts a really nice haul, I have all the LorR Brickheadz from last year but need to get Gimli and Legolas. That Gandalf/Balrog are my favourites, especially the Balrog🙂

[@GholaMuadDib]

Yea, the Gandalf & Balrog were an unexpected surprise. I was initially going for Legolas & Gimli. But when I saw the Balrog, I thought I have to have that to go with my evil tower. 😂

[@Marc76-qt7vp]

I'm happy Jonathan and his wife enjoyed a lovely day in London, with music, festivities. Yeah, meeting the designer of Barad-dûr at the Lego store. How cool is that?!

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Thank you, yeah was a very fun day the events that played out were totally unexpected, certainly a great experience🙂

[@bricksbeersbeards9368]

Triwizard Arrival looks awesome! You had a cool day, my friend!

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Oh it’s very impressive, I have been waiting for a new Durmstrang for years and Lego have really knocked it out of the park🙂Yeah had a very nice day, so nice to get it signed🙂

[@michaelcarrea4053]

Ah wow nice one! 🤩

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Thank you🙂

[@ayc53]

Love this haul! I got the Inside Out Brickheadz (Inside Out is one of my favorite Pixar movies and I’m excited to see the sequel) and the Disneyland Castle. Disneyland is my home park and I’m so glad they made a Disneyland version of the mini castle series. I have the Disney World one, the Aladdin palace, and the Haunted Mansion

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Oh nice buys, I have the previous Disney castle so will have to get the new one to with it at some point🙂

[@johnnythunder1269]

I hate scalpers… anyway I really want to get the jungle sets with the Johnny Thunder minifigure! It’s who I named my channel after! 😁

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Ahh did realise that. I have a few of the jungle City sets on my wish list🙂

[@johnnythunder1269]

@@TheDyslexicGeakCool! That’s awesome! My Birthday is coming in a few weeks, it’s at the end of the month, I’m hoping to get some cool Lego sets for it!🙂

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

@@johnnythunder1269 ahh I hope you get some nice sets🤞

[@johnnythunder1269]

@@TheDyslexicGeakthank you my friend! 🤞 🙂

[@Ultra_bricks]

Very nice! It’s such a nice set. I was deliberating buying it and thought I would have at least the day to think about it before the promo sold out but it went quicker than I expected. I will hold off for a bit now until a good discount or promo stack comes up. Definitely a set I will get. Look forward to the review!

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Yeah if you missed the promo it’s definitely worth waiting for double points and decent GWP combo, it’s not cheap. I expect it will stay at Lego like Rivendell but Amazon occasionally have that set on offer so possibly will be the same for Barad-Dur

[@Ultra_bricks]

@@TheDyslexicGeak agree. I need to get rivendell as well. Not sure I will get them this year. Still two more big sets coming yet in the barge and the endurance that I am interested in

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

@@Ultra_bricks Rivendell isn’t going anywhere for a while so plenty of time. Crazy to think we’re not far away from the huge autumn releases🙂

[@Ultra_bricks]

@@TheDyslexicGeak I know! Throw in the Zelda set, the x men mansion, the new modular, jaws etc. My wallet is hurting already 😂

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

@@Ultra_bricks I know it’s insane with what’s yet to come this year. August is going to be just nuts, thankfully I plan to win the lottery in the next few weeks😂

[@adamkassemtv]

Wow. Nice! And without the disgustingly ugly warning sticker

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Yeah I have seen those boxes, they look awful. Thankfully we don’t have those in the UK, at least not yet😂

[@adamkassemtv]

@@TheDyslexicGeak Quite jealous. It's such an eyesore it hurts a little inside

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

@@adamkassemtv yeah it really does ruin the box art, not sure it has to be so large
