380John Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Still a few left off large and small sizes in Pembroke dock lidl if any of you are in this neck of the woods. Cheers John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

royaloak Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Lidls Wolseley road, Plymouth have about 8 small ones left, they had 10 small and 3 large but then I turned up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley47708 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 A few years ago they disappeared from Lidl in Perth like the proverbial snow of a dyke within days. Went in yesterday, thinking there may be none left and if there was they may be reduced. There was 12 large ones and about 6 wee ones in Lidl Perth. No reductions though.

Jenny Emily Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I suppose the risk is that they saturated the market last time, as there's only so much space on the nation's walls! I have yet to see any Lidl around here stocking the big ones though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Lidl in Astley Bridge is all sold out. Went looking because my Father wanted a couple for putting Hornby Dublo in. He might have to wait until next year now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I don't know if anyone is still interested in these but the Lidl in Romford still has loads of them. Both big and small. In fact they are doing a deal. The small ones are £30 each and £50 for two. The big ones are £60 each and £100 for two. I would guess that they have about 20 of each size. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Any signs of these turning up again this year? My Father is after a few, and I want one as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrel Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 They are normally in store in December you can subscribe to their news letter via their website. The big cases are excellent but you will need two people to lift them as they are very heavy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted September 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) These usually appear about 2 weeks before Christmas. Edit for more accuracy Edited September 28, 2015 by Brit70053 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ngram Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 And here they are again in my local Lidl from this coming Monday 21st December 2015. The large ones are still £100 for two, wood effect or white, and the small ones £50 for two. I've had my two large ones up in my new shed since last Xmas and they are excellent for the money. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Andy Hayter Posted December 18, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2015 The thought of buying 2 large ones brings tears to the eyes*. They are very heavy (33kg each IIRC) and you will need an assisant to get one into the trolley and several passing shoppers to get it out and into the car!! * as a result of the hernia. They are good though and at the price......................... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG John Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 33kg hanging on the wall with expensive models it it? Does the price include insurance? I think that's definitely made me decide not to buy any! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's definitely made me decide not to buy any! As long as you use the correct fixings for the type of wall construction you should be OK. I have had to change the selected place for one of my cabinets as the wall was of box tiles, plenty strong enough but a real PITA to drill into.

BG John Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 As long as you use the correct fixings for the type of wall construction you should be OK. I have had to change the selected place for one of my cabinets as the wall was of box tiles, plenty strong enough but a real PITA to drill into. The walls in the room where I'd want to hang them are a mix of cement rendered stone with earth mortar, crumbly lime plaster on the same walls, and plasterboard drylining that may be damp at the back. I don't think I'll risk it! I'd rather like some display cases while I've got stock I haven't got layouts for, but the aim is for all of it to be on working layouts, so there's no point spending the money on the cases, then spending time making absolutely sure they won't fall off the walls!

RMweb Premium Andy Hayter Posted December 18, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2015 Mine are attached to plasterboard (with studding but the fixings are in the plasterboard and not the studding). Absolutely no problem - as said provided you use appropriate fixings. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted December 18, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) They do have feet.With my 'Elf and Safety' (seasonal what?) I would point out that although freestanding you really should secure to wall . You don't want 33 kgs of primarily glass plus contents toppling over on wee Johnny who has been jumping up and down excitedly in front of it! I've got mine resting on an IKEA unit to take the weight. Like others I didn't fancy just hanging it from wall , but it is secured to prevent it falling over. While stable it is relatively narrow and that landing on someone would not do them good!

BG John Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 The equivalent of 1.3 bags of cement being dropped on you (plus the weight of the contents), with the bonus of lots of sharp pointy bits to stab, as well as crush, you! I'm partially experienced in withstanding that sort of weight, due to a certain German Shepherd liking to launch herself at me, but it's something to try to avoid if possible!

I certainly agree with securing to the wall even when standing, but the load on the wall will be minimal compared to trying to support 33kgs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
