This was on sale for the same price over a year ago and I bought one for my nephew. After seeing it in action, my daughter (and I) wanted one so badly. However, the price had gone back up to £39.99 (the original "was" price) and I definitely wasn't going to pay that knowing I could have bought it for £14.99.
Anyway, after price watching Argos and Amazon for over a year, and with £24.99 being the lowest it ever reached (it was mostly £29.99), it has now come back down to £14.99. Yipee!
Word of warning though: It requires a whopping 10 x AA batteries. (We plan on using rechargeable batteries or buy a few packs of these:
Important info for parents -
1. No fighting over who gets the remote. You bought this for the kids. Not for you, for the kids.
2. No, you may not use it to chase the cat/dog/baby. Give the remote back to the kids.
You price watched Argos and Amazon for over a year to save £10 for something you and your daughter wanted so badly? Wish I had your patience :laughing:

For those that didn't get one, this is back in stock again!! Have checked a few postcodes up and down the country, and it seems to be back in stock, or can be ordered for collection in about 3-5 days time.
BUT I'm guessing that the price may go up after the kids go back to school. Not sure if Argos honour the reservation price if the price goes up, so it may be wise to to pay online now and then they hold it for you for 7 days.

anyone know if you can use rechargable batteries in this - it does specify alkaline on Amazon.
I remember when the Tyco Rebound came out. That was a must have cool toy. Think it was something daft like £80 though

Read your comment first, was slightly confused, then watched the video on the Argos site. :laughing:
Note that it requires 6 AA batteries for the car and 4 AA batteries for the remote. So you'll be replacing the 6 in the car much more frequently than the 4 in the remote.
Had me worried for a second there as my AA battery charger can only charge 8 at a time :P
