OzBargain Subscriptions Are Great, until You Want to Know What The LEGO Deals Are

Just find it amusing that one of the most active products we post about is LEGO.

To the point where I don't want to receive notifications because I'm getting too many.

    You just added another pointless LEGO notification. The irony.

    • ^ this…. could've done without that email

        Just curious, could you not add type:ozbdeal option:titleonly to your subscription so that this forum post wouldn't get notified? Or am I missing something?

        • I honestly have no idea, but will be looking into it, thanks!

    • The irony :)

  • Pointless!

    Can’t vote this deal down

    If you subscribe, you have to take the good with the bad. And this notification is one of the bad ones. Thanks for nothing. LOL

    If you find Lego notifications annoying, don't subscribe to iTunes, because there are no bargains, just people repeatedly trying to (unsuccessfully, I assume) buy them discounted.

    Was hoping for a 70% Imperial Star Destroyer deal in my inbox, but ended up with this thread instead.

    • I feel it

  • I feel ya. If you want something more specific, you should use Brickhawk.

      Nothing worse than feeling like you've hit a brick wall. Can't wait to tear it down and rebuild anew. Can someone help me to connect the pieces?

    • Nice #DadJoke :)

    You will need to tune your search alerts to minimise false positives.

    I recommend using this as a search term

    LEGO type:ozbdeal option:titleonly

    This will limit search alerts only to deal posts that have LEGO in the title.

    You can also subscribe to product tags now. Visit the product tag page, then click the familiar subscribe button. Please note that this is a BETA feature only and you'll need to enable "Show Beta features" in your user prefs to see this option.

    Notifications are sent in 30 minute intervals. Deals need to be tagged properly for this to work, obviously.

    • Nice

    • We got a power user here.

      Respect.

      • Waiting for Mr. jv to show up shortly.

    I have never noticed lego on this site

    It wasn't always this way but since about 2017/2018, the Lego AFOL community massively expanded in size for some reason.

    I think it coincided with Lego aggressively developing and marketing a lot more AFOL-oriented sets like the Star Wars UCS, Lego Creator Expert and Lego Ideas themes.

    • Nah it was because they started that Lego TV show/series?

      • Lego Masters Australia premiered in 2019.

        I've been following Lego deals on OzBargain since about 2016, so no, that doesn't account for it entirely.
        Lego really started gaining popularity on OzBargain and in the wider community since around 2017/2018 imo.

        I think Lego have just realised how huge of an untapped market AFOLs were and started rolling out sets marketed to them like there was no tomorrow around that time.

  • Its probably that elf LEGOlas setting off all the notifications. That legoless elf is jealous of all the lego everyone else has.
