Stock checker for that Star Destroyer:
http://www.checksmyths.com/StockCheckPage.php?productId=135707

Only that the closest to Dublin I can find is Dundalk, I'd be buying it. The petrol and tolls up and back would end up more than the saving.

Also, while on the Smyths site I bought the Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar. They ran out last year and my young fella is already talking about this years one. Better safe than sorry!

Where's your local store ? Maybe the discount is in Ken Blacks as well if you've one near you ?

Carrickmines Smyths. Never heard of Ken Blacks! Though if he has a Tie Fighter or a Millenium Falcon on sale I'll pay him a visit. :P

That's some price difference. If you needed a few it might be worth it I suppose.

Ken Black is a toy store that was taken over by and rebranded as a Smyth's store. There is one in Carlow and Wexford and a few more around the country.

Ken Black just have a buying agreement, long standing, with Smyth's. They were never taken over afaik.

Ah my mistake. Thought I had read something aa few years ago about a buyout.

Is the buying agreement why Ken Black have all the same logos, pricing structure etc ?

Yeah, and same catalogue, not sure if you walked in one or the other you could tell the difference, price labels aside. I wouldn't be 100% of my facts either though emmet.

I couldn't resist! I picked one up in Tralee after work. They had at least 3 on the shelf.

Yesterday I couldn't resist buying Lego Dimensions when I was in there!

I'm after taking an hour off work tomorrow evening so I can get to Waterford before the shop closes tomorrow

I just spotted in the Argos Bargain Alerts Thread that Argos now offer a price match on toys.

If this is the case they should match the price of the Imperial Destroyer I linked above in Smyth's for €99 down from Argos price of €150. This means a lot more of you guys can pick it up now if you want

there are also a few available in the Dublin Argos stores.

£69 is around €95. They say in the price match offer they will include delivery charges when comparing items bought online. So maybe they'd match the Train price at around €105. Get your €10 voucher.

Buy Destroyer and add a mini figure to being the price above €100 use you Train €10 voucher and pay €92.99 and get another €10 voucher :DD

Both for €198 and have aa voucher for your next purchase !!

I was debating getting the destroyer - it sounded cool! Saw a video of it and can't see the attraction of it. Very bland.

Haven't read the Argos price match but would imagine its Irish sites only.

I just collected my destroyer and was only charged €93 for some reason. Happy with that

I'm going to try that Price Promise in Argos this morning. Reserved one in Tallaght and heading out with a page on my phone showing €93 in Smyths Dundalk.

Don't anyone buy the last one in Dundalk in the next hour!

Will post with how I get on.

Let us know. I am planing to do the same in Dundrum after 11am.

Success! Met some small resistance in Argos (price promise thing new to Ireland). One lady found the details though and just put it through for €93.99 - which was the figure from my Smyths basket after the mystery €6 deduction - not the product price. Just showed my phone browser.

Also got a €10 Argos voucher so the thing ends up as €83.99!

Thanks to the tipsters here.

Did you had to pay full price and then go to customer service desk to get refund or they sort you out at the till?

I'm going to keep an eye on this. If you can get the same price as somewhere else and get a €10 voucher back its a no brained to buy off Argos

No, I went straight to the help desk and after a bit of messing they just put the set through for 93.99. One transaction only.

I just read on the Eurobricks forum there is a voucher in the UK for £6 off a £50 spend or £12 off £100. I've just tried entering the codes on the Irish Smyths site and it works for €6 off €50 and €12 off €100 too: SMYOCT12.

So it appears if you buy the Imperial Star Destroyer and get something for a cent or find the cheapest thing on the site, you can get €12 off.

It's not a bad offer if you want to get €6 off something like both of the City and Star Wars Advent Calendars too.
