    Not exactly a bargain but easons in dundrum have a load of the Ghostbusters cars in stock. €50 so not too bad for a rare set


  • Registered Users Posts: 651 ✭✭✭conor-mr2


    So yea,

    I had ordered the things with Tesco and checked out. Got a pickup time.

    Guy rang me at 16.40 to tell me
    "that they cant see whats in stock/what they got for hardware related items until they get the shipment. They know for things like bread but not for hardware/toys. You should have seen the Frozen dolls.. I only got 2 and had to ring about 300 people to give them the bad news"

    Seriously.. you'd think Tesco would have a stock check system!!! I mean it happily allowed me to add them to the cart and check them out.
    So no snowspeeders and Cantina for me.

    Tesco.. really, in this day and age!?

    ****e I have two superhero sets reserved for collection tomorrow I hope the same doesn't happen.
    It sounds strange though because I had three items in my basket and in the period between putting in my card details it told me that the star wars set was no longer available in this store so to me that seemed like they had a stock take system.


  • Registered Users Posts: 651 ✭✭✭conor-mr2


    Well I hope you do have better luck than I do.
    Keep an eye out for that phonecall.

    The chap said he'd ring me if they came in today but no joy

    Actually I spotted it in tesco in the city centre. Up on the top shelf of the toys.

    Bit annoying because I picked it up for €17 a couple of weeks ago.

    They have some starwars sets with a similar discount.

    Cathal Healy are you talking about the lego junior fireman set? Love to get one of those but sold out everywhere.

    Both Smyths and Toymaster in Dublin are stocked with all of the January sets with some small discounts on some from what I could see.

    Star Wars Cantina set for 67euro in Smyths as well. Nice.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,123 ✭✭✭GodlessM


    Cantina is €54.99 in Argos.

    The cargo train 60052 is £97.
    Exchange rate isn't great but still a good deal.

    Nothing marked down in Mahon :-(

    There were some things left but don't know what will be there now.

    I picked them up at the weekend.

    People didn't seem to notice the deals were there so there might be a chance that there's stuff left.
    Nothing marked down in Mahon :-(

    Could be store specific.
    Have noticed them doing this across stores before though.
