Any word on Sligo???

Checking later, will let you know. I did hear before christmas that they were going out of business, wonder if this is related?

Plenty of console boxes but no consoles in Athlone. Plenty of differing stories amongst the staff so either pulled back or earmarked for the sharper staff... baxtards.

Dman001

Roscommon store said they were getting them back in but not for a couple of weeks and im guessing not for that price too.

boopolo

Probably hide them in the backroom store untill the sale is finished

I picked up a psp today at the Athlone branch. no ps3 left but i did see some1 walk out with an arcade eddition xbox 360 (the green box)

I was leaving the car park at this stage so I could not ask..

Staff in that branch told several people, myself included, that there were no consoles available today. And yes, I was in early.

I was in the Longford Branch there now and was told there's no consoles. I was hoping to get a wireless PS3 controller but none of those either I'm afraid. Plenty of PS2 accessories! Relatively poor selection of games, although there are one or two gud uns. Little Big Planet was in there for €35. Plenty of toys, trampolines, football goals, basketball hoops etc so if there was a birthday coming up it'd be excellent.

this psp was probably 1 that was held for some1 since yesterday that was never collected it and probably the same for the xbox arcade i seen

I was in longford yesterday evening and they had loads of the "compatable" ps3 contollers left, not the official ones but they would do the same job!

Girlfriend used to work for the one in limerick before a number of them closed down. Only one left in this region is the one in ennis... never been to it but gfriend reckons none of them sold consoles. She thought it was a bit daft of them to be honest.

I was chatting to a mamber of staff at the software section and he said he had rival company XTRAVISSION staff come in yesterday asking if they could buy all there ps3 to sell on in xtravission!
apparently Toy City Sold them off at below cost price!

Also looking for the nearest one to Dublin.

Hey I'm confused, so is this Toymaster aswel? I've never heard of Toy City, what would be the closest one to Dublin?

onlinegamer

the title of the thread was changed yesterday when i realised that it was toy city not toymaster.
what led to me thinking it was Toymaster was when i Googled searched toymaster in longford it came up as (Mastertech Business Park) the address for toymaster Longford.. so that was where the confusion started.
When i Arrived at the address supplied by goggle it was indeed toy city.

The offer is indeed on in Sligo, I stocked up on baby equipment today (thanks, OP, my wallet owes you one!). The queues down at the computer games bit were stupidly long, so didn't check for consoles or anything like that, stayed in the nursery section. Looked like there were still plenty of toys. They were out of cot bed mattresses, but the lass I was talking to says they should get a delivery of them on Wednesday, so I'll be back

Also, they let me pay with my one4all voucher, was afraid they wouldn't with the sale. So a great day shopping all round!

jambofc

well folks every toy city in the country is out of stock of all consoles
ive just spent 6 hours driving from meath to longford,roscommon,athlone,galway and sligo as the f###n pr###s wouldnt answer there phones in any of there stores :mad:

onlinegamer

Happy new year Quackles

onlinegamer

jambofc they realy did earn their crust today yesterday and will do for the next 2 weeks!
they were way too busy to anser phones every second of the day, they had customers like myself any many others pulling at them from left to right to reach top shelvs and go out back for stock & work on the tills at the same time

by the way they knew nothing about the 50% offers untill they opened up yesterday they were kept in the dark so that everyone got a fair chance. customers and staff

I think consoles weren't supposed to be in the deal but a few consoles got sold by mistake.

Frank3142

you know that is very possible! about a week ago they had 25% off everything and it excluded hardware & software! as i said earlier XTRA-VISSON staff were in looking for consoles to sell on themselvs as they were been sold for less than cost price from the suppliers :eek:

If this is indeed true, it makes me absolutely sick.
