I'm hoping I've posted this in the correct place and it hasn't been posted before.......I have checked!
A member of staff at my local sainsbury has told me the toy event is starting on Wednesday 19 October 2016.
Happy shopping

Top tip dads.
Every year I go to my large local sainsburys where at 5 mins before opening a large queue of people with trolleys are always waiting for the doors to open. Stand near the front without a trolley and your just a regular jo waiting to get a paper and teabags and are safe from heckling from people telling you to get to the back.
Soon as the doors open grab 2 baskets and peg to the toys and get what you need. Baskets also mean you can squeeze through all the trolleys and madness.
If your getting on a bit also like me and don't trust not getting up go the night before and hide the toys you want in a inconspicuous department like motor cleaning and put the toys behind other stuff. If you get to the shop late you have your stash to fall back on as likely they will still be there.
Looks by the OP image Buzz Duraband is included - i dont think he will sell very well - should put him in Freebies
Thanks for the heads up
edit: op image changed now so wont make too much sense !

Waiting in the queue for the Ashford Bybrook store to open. There are some fiercely determined looking women waiting here with me. To be fair I probably look a bit fierce, but I have brushed my hair and put on proper clothes which is more than some

I wouldn't trust sainsburys online if I were you. They're abysmal at fulfilling popular orders and oversell their stock.

They usually get some big branded toys in for half price, last year were some hot wheels sets, barbie and their own toy brand like rocking horses and trolleys with food. It's usually pretty good, depending on amazons prices. Most other brands are 33% off like my little pony, some lego and marvel toys. You can usually grab a bargain or two :smiley:
