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.

Also should this post not be merged into http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sainsbury-toy-event-19-october-2016-2520337?p=28913242? It was there first. You know give the other guy some heat for once.

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

Thanks op been waiting for the heads up on the date for this :smile: heat added

How do you get amazon to do a price match?

Good Morning lizziec1977, thanks for sharing, I have moved it to misc until the sale date has been confirmed :smiley:

Thanks mrfun1981, moved back to deals :smiley:

Yes can confirm my local store told me the 19th of October as well

Thank you that's helpful to kmow

Hi , is the event online or in store ? Or both please

What happens at the toy event please?i must have missed this last year

hoping they're back to 50% off all toys and not up to on a selected few

Does this happen online too? I can't remember...

If you've got some small children, they do their wooden toys at stupid prices stupidly, really nice for little kids.

hoping to pick up a couple of barbies/my little pony bits..10% staff discount helps!

Anyone know what toys / discounts it'll be this year?

It's always a Tues it starts n I was told yesterday it was the 18th Oct

I am a colleague and I can confirm this to be correct. Small selection are already half price. Will be in store only

Great for Thomas mini's blind bags as they were half price last year - find out the codes of the one's you want and look at the back of the pack. Also got lots of Thomas toys / Bing / In the night garden. I went for store opening and had the place to myself they thought I was bonkers!

Any one know if Shopkins will be included thank you

That's ok it's not like to sodding what'sapp will send people here to read it. Especially as this has no proof yet. So a mod will move it to misc. then as soon as a helper finds a newspaper add they will start a new deal that then gets 1milliondegrees heat and too bad original poster.

it's the 19th October

are Transformers usually included?

I went to my local sainsbury's on monday and the woman assured me it was the 20th. I told her its always a wednesday!! I knew she was lying to me :smirk:

good find

Does this start as soon as store opens?

Thanks for the info..

Never have a problem finding bargains myself as I just look in inconspicuous departments like motoring stuff, dining, bedding etc (different place every year) and always find around a dozen half price booty items and sometimes a lot more. I do leave some things, but it is funny watching all the numpties trolley dashing to get bargains puffing and panting with their red faces and steam coming out of their ears because bloke 'A' got what blokette 'B' wanted.

Reminds me of that Schwarzenegger movie JATW.:smile:

Meanwhile, I just saunter up to the checkout with my bargains. LOL

I'd love to see the stasher's face one time when they see I have their bounty.

My guess is that it's a night-shift staff member, but I probably only get a fraction of the stash, but HoHoHo!

Luuuurve it every year and looking forward to it already! :smile:

God Bless you guys..!!

Not as good as previous years. The things I wanted are only save 1/3, so cheaper on Amazon :disappointed:. I remember the days when everything was half price. Thanks for posting, saves me a trip lol.

Thank you!

Everything on that list seems to be the price they should be anyway. RRP these days is getting worse.

Also should this post not be merged into http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sainsbury-toy-event-19-october-2016-2520337?p=28913242? It was there first. You know give the other guy some heat for once.

I hope so

Ahh sorry! Changed the image and then saw this! Buzz won't be pleased when he reads this! Careful of that laser! pew pew pew

But... bu...

Thank you, ive been holding off buying certain things in anticipation for the sainsburys sale but tbh i think the prices just reflect some of the current deals at argos, smyths etc

hmmm on a picture i seen a few days ago stating when the sale is on it shows a furby but there is no mention of a furby on these lists :-(

I think there is more. This is just all we have right now! There's only a few pages here but says there are 13 pages. So hopefully lots more!

oh that's good thank you x

Will this be online as well or in store only?

cheers for the heads up. can you try to get the black friday deals :wink:

They were last year. Got a 3 stage bumblebee

Do we know what time on Wednesday they start the offer prices? Is it midnight or later on?

​Sainsburys now own argos BTW :-)

my eyes are knackered and zoom not much better - is there any lego on there please?

This cannot be official as series 3 shopkins were discontinued a year and a half a go, not possible to find this instore due to licensing laws. Season 5, maybe but season 3 no longer exists anywhere. Season 4 there may be a couple left but season 3 impossible.

be aware sainsburys wack everything up to full rrp and then the discounts worked out , hubbys just saying they were looking last night some things are £25 pound now going back to £30 and then sale discounts are added . also keep eye on places like amazon , b&m as some items are already at a low price or will match

I'm pretty sure every toy is discounted to some degree. I know a few years back it was almost all half price, but they've pulled it back the last couple and some stuff only gets 25% discount. Pretty much guaranteed some savings on any toy they stock, so worth going just to check the prices. As for online i remember the banner last year definitely said it was instore only, so i highly doubt it will be on offer online. Again, sainsburys are rubbish to order from. If they substitute something they will charge you the amount it costs, even if it's more. No price matching like asda and tesco. That and their awful layout of a website is why i only shop instore with them haha. Really looking forward to seeing what peppa pig toys are discounted to this year, my 2 yr old has just developed a new found love for all things peppa!

Keep in mind this isn't a complete list, this is just the toys that'll be in promotional spaces, and the toys they're coming in especially for the sale - every toy Sainsbury's currently stocks will be reduced as well, between 20% and 50%, and they're not all listed here - all Lego will be included but probably on the lower end of the discount scale

Er, that's what all companies do?

probably most but theres some bits on the shelf currently at £25 , that show they are half price in the sale at £15

Toys are already being stocked in stores. But not at the discounted prices just yet. This will happen the night before. My source- I work there :smiley:
Also, heads up, Argos and Sainsbury's have merged so potentially the toys SHOULD be the same price now at both stores. If you don't want to wait until the 19th, then head over to Argos and buy them now. I believe (I could be wrong) but most of the so called sale prices will actually be the price at Argos right now

For a mod, shouldn't the OP know the prices should be added to the existing deal?

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sainsbury-toy-event-19-october-2016-2520337#post28913242?

Argos would price match anyway providing its the same day and in stock at Sainsburys.

Lego is 20% off at Toysrus for whole of October so same price

So is Season 3 not available then?

Wait. Hold on. There's a collection of miniature violins playing here, just for you...

does this include the 12 inch black mamba?

any paw patrol toys im looking for paw patrol.lookout

Nothing good here :'(

I have to agree with that sentiment unfortunately.

Fantastic news, always love it when they play :P

is this online or store only?

I will buy the things I want on Tuesday 18th and go in later in the week to get the difference refunded, saves the hassle of a Wednesday 7am free for all.

Which peppa playset will it be?

Is this the one that starts at 6 in morn !? X

I'm pondering if HotUKDeals is gonna find itself in hot water legally by doing this. Given it's a mod/staffer posting it, they can't even claim "Well, a user did it, and we took it down as soon as we realised".

I can't imagine Sainsbury's would be too happy with this, but I have no idea if there is a law around this kind of thing.

Does anyone more versed in these matters want to chime in? Armchair lawyers need not apply.

​is your post a joke? Sainsburys have decided to sell these things at the prices shown, maybe some good deals other not so good (Lego Vet thing just brings it down to Amazon price region), and are getting masses of free advertising via HUKD, what's not too like for them :smirk:

No. Was yours?

This information was leaked early before it was live. This has the potential to harm more profitable sales leading up to the event.

I highly doubt Sainsbury's see this in the positive light that you do. It wouldn't totally shock me if they just pull this entire promotion now, or at least the pieces that have been leaked. Although I concede it's unlikely.

I'm not saying you should care about that, but I was just asking if HotUKDeals could potentially be dragged through the courts if Sainsbury's decided to go that route, and how much it could hurt them. Maybe I'm asking the wrong audience.

Thank you

duplicate post.

Sadly the only thing on there I'd be interested in (TF Gen Voy) isn't stocked in any of the Sainsbury's near me, so looks like I'll be saving myself a trip. So, thanks to OP for the deal of saving petrol! :wink:

Everything is expensive these days like on fire! Things may only get worse after brexit but I hope not as I voted OUT only so that we could get our sovereignty back - nothing more and nothing less.

Was thinking the same thing.

Thank you for sharing <3

Hi, I don't suppose you know if Sainsbury's are doing a nectar double up before Christmas? Just wondering if it's worth holding on to my points. Thanks

Thank you so much!!!!!

They always do one before Christmas, however the toys usually go back up to full price during the event, so just depends on if you want to pay cash for cheaper toys now or wait and spend your points later. It's worth keeping hold of coupons too, last year I got £20 in double up just for doubling up, £10 in points if I spent £30 on toys and many more. I had about £70 in doubled points but got another £60 with all the vouchers they sent lol. I don't shop there much either

thanks

Thanks

Fun sapping mission of the entire point HUKD exists: accomplished.

Nope, the other thread should be expired as this is 2 weeks older and was moved to Misc. Just because it was posted by a mod though, it won't be :wink:

Gotcha..

Thanks OP. Nine Fridays until Christmas so this comes at a really good time

The other post has what is included and prices etc though so is more helpful than this post

Is this in store only or is it online too?

That also applies to mums! We don't all want to stand there all day blocking the aisles with our trollies. Some of us want to go in, get our stuff and leave!

My store seemed to be getting toys in ready, had lots of Toot Toot stuff on ends

B&M are selling season 3.....


We are currently on season 6!!!

Season 3 is in b&m bargains near us so could be old stock. You can get loads if season 4 in smiths too.

All of these toys are being stacked in my local store, but at full price. Good to see that when this deal goes live, there will actually be stock!

I'm searching online for items listed to check out prices elsewhere and can't find any from the list?

Just looked at first couple. Tesco have the Barbie convertible for 12.50 and 6.50 in some stores. Some of the prices aren't bad but I'm not going to make a special trip there for them

I've found some yeah... others I can't find on Google. I've never been to this sale before is it usually bedlam?

​the prices and list of toys are on another thread

​currently in B&M for 24.99

​currently in B&M 24.99

Are these deals in store or online?

In store only

I suppose my method is suitable for all but us blokes don't look like we're out for sneaky toy swiping that early in the morning.

lol you're too funny :smiley:

Because other list deals and they get pulled saying "self promotion" so if the MOD works for Sainsburys it's self promotion and needs to be pulled but it won't.

Every one on here seems to want something for nothing

Does the mod own Sainsburys? Has the mod done this with Sainsburys blessing?

If the answer to both is "no" then I don't see how this is self promotion

Here's me going in thinking it was today , well they were putting all the boxes of toys out ready for tommorow.

My loca had all the toys out and bulked ready

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

Let us know if there's anything good that wasn't on that list would you

Lmao.....this is funny! Meanwhile im laying in bed hoping they'll still have lego junior by time ive finished the school run.

Small take and play Thomas meant to be £7 half price £3.50 but coming off £1 half the price to 50p



Thanks to emribena!

Keep an eye out for the halloween shopkins, in my local they were in the halloween section not the toy section but were still 20% off!

Norwich aint too bad still more then enough toys to satisfy the christmas needs

Maybe 25cm high ponies with brushes, hair clips etc, £2.50, not my little pony brand, just generic but bargain really, Disney Fairies, only 6 or 7cm high for £3, toot toot repair centre £20, huge batmans and stormtroopers £12.50, minion playdoh set, £6.66 and 4 tubs playdoh £1.66, steffi dolls £2.50, barbie car and boat was £17.50 i think really good sale, Birmingham Maypole.

Mate - this has just made my day

This didn't seem to be on the list so putting on here for your information:
Bosch Mini Workbench £17.50 instead of £35 at Sainsburys Cheshire Oaks.

Mario themed hot wheels are priced at £1.66 at my local

Is this all stores? I picked some up and put them back!

Well mine was cleared out. Great if you have younger children but not much for the 8+

Went to Westwood cross Thanet this morning and only 6 of us there lol. Got some good bargains, although not much range in peppa pig toys. Still, managed to get a small camper van for £6.77 and there was plenty of smaller toys for babies up. Disney fairies were £5 too, so grabbed one for the school pressie box :smiley:

You think like me. All I add, is get a newspaper. Just in case you need to beat off some vultures

Get one and try take it back if it doesn't - I've been back to my local but shelves cleared of small ones although they said keep trying as getting stock all the while..

Checked the price on these at Tottenham store and came up as 3.50.
Got lovely baby annabel doll half price 7.50

Anyone see any deals on ninja turtle stuff up there and prices thanks

Had a look, nothing too much to write home about, alot of things just seemed normal price after the 'half price'. Will keep an eye out for the real reductions when the sale ends, as Sainsbury's do, do decent discounts, this sale was not one though.

still lots of stuff in swansea store! got the hot wheels garage that I wanted!

I couldn't see anything to write home about just lots of rude people stacking their trolleys with toys too large for any normal house. I didn't bother and won't again.

£40 well spent even if I was there at 7am

I got there at 9am had lots of offers on power rangers figures.

Had a look today. There are some great deals instore. A lot of items 50% off.

All I got was nerf bullets. 30 pack £4.50 found a lot of the other stuff I was after was reduced to what it is in a lot of other shops

Anyone get any Bing stuff

The list mentioned Transformer Generation/Combiner wars voyagers for £12.99, has anyone seen them in store?

Oh I missed it :/ Is there anything left in stores? is it still worth going? i have quite a journey to closest store...

does anyone know if the big toys not usually stocked will be reduced further if so when?

Does anyone know when this ends? Is the last day tomorrow?

Had a look today. Really disappointing compared to last year. Picked up nothing

lol, 5 days later? and you expected what? full shelves? lol
