45% off LEGO Art at Zavvi
Posted by Huw,
Zavvi has currently reduced LEGO Art sets 31197 Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe and 31201 Harry Potter Hogwarts Crests by a whopping 45%, which takes the prices down to £62.99, cheaper than they've even been at Amazon.
If you've wanted to build the combined Hogwarts Crest mosaic but couldn't stomach forking out £460 for the required four copies of 31201, they'll now set you back 'only' £252 which makes it a far more affordable and attractive proposition.
Furthermore, the Adidas trainer is reduced from £80 to £50 at Zavvi at the moment, too.

They're only showing as 30% off via the link...?
Edit: ah it's 30% off the listed price which is already reduced.
I dunno, I ordered the Blue Fiat last time ZAVVI was mentioned here and I still don’t have it. Since there was no tracking option at checkout, I also can’t prove it. No choice but to wait and see.
I'll be honest, I always thought these were overpriced for what they were. You get a few huge tiles with a bunch of tiny tiles that can feel like work to put together.
My guess is that the high prices are due to all the extra stuff included with it. The fancy instructions along with the audio to listen to probably lead to the increase.
I find the packaging on a lot of these sets to be deceptive. For example, The Beatles set shows all four members displayed on the box. If you buy the kit however, you can only build one. It's misleading at best, and I do think it's a turnoff to learn you can't build everything without buying multiple copies of the kit. Who wants to spend $400+ just to finish a picture?
Still full price in the US, I look at these occasionally but have never seen them on sale anywhere.

I ordered my Blue Fiat on Sept 1st, didn't ship for 10 days, and took 3 weeks to arrive. All overseas shipping is slow right now.
my problem is I would need to order at least six of the iron man/sith sets and 8 of the others...I would want one of each picture available plus the maxi image all on display at the same time. No matter how far it drops theres no way I can afford all of them.
I dread the potential batman one coming next year because I may not be able to say no...
The trainer is a good price at £50

Funny side note, I watched Doug deMuro's latest video yesterday (Citroën C6) and at one point you can see a classic light blue Fiat 500 in the background, just like the LEGO version. The video was filmed in a car museum I might add.

I waited and I saw: by coincidence it arrived today two hours after I posted. The shipping box was dented and covered in customs stickers, but I am glad it got here.
Would love to pick up the Andy Warhol one, but I’m in the wrong part of the world for that.

These aren't work to put together. Real LEGO mosaic builders use 1x1 square plates and align all the logos ... that's work!"
Disagree —do you know how hard it is to ensure the underside stampings are level across the rows?
Looks like no discount in the US
Can you shop the UK site from the US? They're not on sale on the US site...
