Tesco have 3 for 2 on toys at the moment ends Monday 21st November

=========================================================

If you have lots to buy and want to spread the cost without paying interest,Toys R Us offer a "take time to pay" scheme where you go into store, choose your items then they will put them away for you and you pay 20% deposit then and the rest in interest free installments over a maximum term of 12 weeks. Also great if you want to order something big but don't have the space to hide it at home. More information here

http://www.toysrus.co.uk/toys/content/taketimetopay

They also have an offer on at the moment where if you buy more than £100 worth of stuff from now until 20/11 you get a gift voucher to use between the dates of 18th November and 1st of December so you could use that to get another item off your list. The offer will apply automatically in store and online no codes needed.

I see Argos have increased the price of the Furby connect to £79.99 in time for the 3 for 2 promotion, although they have a price match promise. I'm so glad I bought 2 from Toys R Us with the £20 voucher. It bugs me that a company can treat its customers like fools. Tesco kept them at the reduced price during their 3 for 2 offer. It seems very deceitful, patronising and greedy :man:

EDIT: Back down to £49.99 and 3 for 2. Worth waiting to see if Amazon adjust their prices

If you don't want to spend on your children, that's your choice. But do the rest of us a favour and wind your neck in. Other people's spending habits are none of your business. The OP has gone to great effort to try help out others who might be hard pressed at this time of year. You're helping nobody.

ive noticed this too but I also find that Amazon reduce their prices when the 3 for 2 starts to match argos, sometimes better than having to buy 3 items

great post, although pretty sure Amazon is / will be cheaper for toots toots goldmine, and thomas trackmaster set. previous lows (last week) were 29.99 and 61.99, so if they are not at that price now, sign up to camel camel camel and be alerted when they are. of course, if you're not a prime member, factor in deliery, or choose free del.

edit: amazon price matches the other players, so it's really personal preference who you go with

3 Nov 16 1 #28

I'm sure the advert for Code-a-pillar says the RRP is 40 quid.

Also, it's only 38 quid from Tesco:
http://www.tesco.com/direct/fisher-price-think-and-learn-code-a-pillar/422-9810.prd?skuId=422-9810&pageLevel=sku&sc_cmp=ppc_sh-_-sh-_-tesco-_-422-9810&gclid=CNbe2afljNACFQML0wodZNsCdg&gclsrc=aw.ds&source=others

and 37.04 on Amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fisher-Price-Think-And-Learn-Code-A-Pillar/dp/B01LW6SIRW

Not looked elsewhere..

Will they definitely fulfill the offer even in product was reserved in advance? I've just reserved 3 Lego Millenium Falcons.

emribena

3 Nov 16 #30

RRP is £49.99 check Argos, Boots and Amazon...

emribena

3 Nov 16 #31

As long as they are included in the offer they will fulfill - check in the morning online before you go in to store and see if it has the 3 for 2 purple splat next to it...

3 Nov 16 #32

Call me cynical but I do wonder when the toy retailers bring out a combined list of the must have toys. Then watch all the poor parents scramble to try and get it as they put up the low stock/ sold out signs. I think the list drives hype - drives demand - drive panic - drives hype

emribena

3 Nov 16 1 #33

My guess is they will up the price though if it is included in the 3 for 2 most probably back to retail which is £129.99 so 3 for £259.98 or currently 84.97 in Asda so 3 at their price would be £254.91 but I can't predict the future - something to keep an eye on anyway or Toys r us £89.99 each limit of 2 per order but you get a free minifigure pack (Choice of 4) worth £9.99 and a free first order general worth £4.99 plus £15 gift card valid between 18th Nov and 1st December for spending over £100 so 3 for 2 might not always be the best option - you could buy 2 from Toys r us and one from asda for £264.95 with £15 gift voucher plus 4 pack mini figure plus first order general - worth keeping in mind anyway.

3 Nov 16 #34

I am looking for the Fisher Price Beatbo/Beatbelle for under £25. Any advice please?

emribena to sulace88

3 Nov 16 #35

Lowest is £28.02 at the minute from Tesco direct, if you can hold out wait a bit longer or at £3 more is it worth buying now and taking back for a refund if it drops further nearer Christmas?

sulace88

3 Nov 16 #36

Do you reckon it might go lower? What retailers would do it cheaper? Is it normally in the Argos 3 for 2 offer?

emribena

3 Nov 16 2 #37

If it's in 3 for 2 at argos its 34.99 so 3 for 69.98. I have no idea if it will go lower sorry otherwise I'd be telling you the winning numbers for the euromillions! :wink:

Yeah, I know :smiley: thanks anyway. I'll keep an eye tomorrow for Argos offer.

Wow wee chips is £197.28 @ Amazon, maybe cheaper if you have vouchers or discount codes. Holding out may be in Black Friday. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B01CFW6ME8/ref=sr_1_1_olp?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1478212005&sr=1-1&keywords=wowwee+chip&condition=new

I've just managed to reserve Speak Out to collect at my local Argos next Wednesday. I've checked a few postcodes and some stores are saying "Order now, collect in X days". For me it was 5 days but I've found a few that were 4 days.

Was going to ask how you got on - I noticed they didn't up the price too. Do you need 3 or you selling some? You've done well either way

Whats the difference between a deal and a mega thread

Apart from the attention seeking aspect

Thank you

emribena to ELVIS_THE_PELVIS

5 Nov 16 #54

Attention seeking coming from "Elvis the pelvis"? Hmmmmm
A mega thread is more than one deal with links and is updated with the best prices and where has stock - no attention seeking required or implied

Thank you very much and goodnight

Anyone know the best and cheapest place to get Zoomer hedgiez amd Furby connect??

emribena to Cracker85

6 Nov 16 #57

Furby connect cheapest are £44.97 at Asda at the moment but are £49.99 and 3 for 2 in Argos at the moment so potentilly £33.33 each depends how many you want / need or can you get something else for £50 that you need? The Zoomer hedgiez are £24.99 in argos and 3 for 2 so you could get 2 furbys and your hedgiez for £99.99 if you need 2 furbys or could you get together with a friend or sell one on?

I think some people are going Mad paying over the odds for these toys and some are greedy selling them for more... your children are only going to thrown them down on the floor one after the other among the packaging and wrapping paperI'm glad to say our children are demanding anything !

Furby well worth 33.33. I do agree going overboard is silly, but it's personal choice. Yes, toys are expensive, but if they get played with and enjoyed that's all that matters isn't it?

Hatchimals are there with a link to stock info along with speak out. Nowhere has them at the moment apart from eBay if and when that changes of course I will update but no point telling you the cheapest place if nobody has them - that would be mega daft! :wink:

22 Nov 16 #71

The Paw Patroller is on Amazon Warehouse for £33.99 and you should get a further 20% off with it being an open box item. I've never bought a toy from the warehouse bit so not sure if the used/preowned bit means it's just a damaged box or if the toy itself has been played with but if you're desperate, it should work out roughly @ £27.
