    I just got a call off them to say i cant get it for that price will have to pay full price. So idk is it still worth driving there to try on the kiosk or not.
    Would they have removed the reservation number or have it blocked so it wont work on the kiosk now?

    Of course they have...it's a "great new price"

    They have to make their money with giving us a €10 for items over €100

    AFAIK Adverts is a commercial site. If people want to flip things, I don't think its against the rules anymore. Spoiling someone advert might be. Its not the old community site that it used to be.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,558 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dades


    Someone offer €42.50... please.

    But yeah, I don't think the Opportunism Police have a role here.

    3 for 2 on toys in Argos at the moment, including Lego.

    Not sure if it's been posted already, but just noticed that Smyths have the Old Fishing Store reduced to €119.99. Beautiful set.

    That’s a great price, annoyed I bought it for €150 from lego direct, didn’t expect it to appear in Smyths. I wish they had the modular buildings, the last one I remember in store was the pet shop. I see the Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ is at €299.99, a decent saving of €60, and the Silent Mary and Snowspeeder are €165 each too.

    Smyths have loads of specials on their Lego sets.
    Most notably the death star for 365 and another 12 off a 100 spend, so 353.

    €365 for death star is great value IMO

    +1, and +1, and +1+1+1+1+11111

    Any Star Wars fan Owes it to themselves to own and display this set. It’s fantastic, and so much playability for someone of any age too. ;) I made a stop motion short movie using it when I got it when it was originally released 8 or 9 years ago (it’s gotten over 4 million views too!). :)

    I'm really interested in the Snowspeeder. Down to €165 as well.

    And is there the extra €16 off that? Are the orders stackable? Like the €10o and the €50?

    You can avail of €12 off a spend of €100 or more, so yeah if you’re buying the Death Star, make sure to use the offer and you’d get it for €353 (I think they’d take it off at the till anyway but no harm to ask just in case, or add the code at the checkout if you’re buying online). And the Snowspeeder would be €153 with these discount. If you’re buying multiple items, make separate transactions to maximise savings.

    Can you though? Are you sure they’re not a one use voucher and will scan again?

    I’m very certain, I’ve availed of similar offers instore at Smyths in the recent past and the staff were happy to take several transactions to allow me to save money on each one. The offer is valid instore and on click-and-collect orders, it doesn’t apply to online delivery purchases as far as I know.

    Hi Folks,
    Im on the looking out for EV3 for xmas and considering a purchase if there are any deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. I have come across it in Eason's for 265euro which seems pretty good to me.

    https://www.easons.com/lego-mindstorms-ev3-816-7300495?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2oXX2bLS1wIV7LXtCh0knwidEAQYASABEgJ8nPD_BwE

    Anyone else got any suggestion on where to look or see any deals on it.

    Thanks

    Peter

    Death Star sold out up and down the country now. Gave a straight hint to Mrs Clause last night but no joy. There were 21 nationwide and 2 locally at the time. Oh well...
