Smyths Discount Weekend

cian8

Have it on good authority that Smyths Toystore are having their discount weekend this weekend (Sept 18th-20th). Not sure if it is 20% or 25% off almost everything.

RobbingBandit

Usually video games, consoles, tablets and gift cards, itunes etc excluded but seeing as toysrus has opened who knows they might include some of the above this time.

No, what I have listed will more than likely be excluded, some baby stuff too if I recall the last time this offer was on.

I will tell the shop manager who told me this that he was wrong so, thank you.

Not wrong just didn't mention the small print...

Is it online too?

Sunny Dayz

Oh I hope it's off consoles, we are getting a 3ds for little sunny dayz for his birthday, it costs more than what we would normally spend on a birthday present for him so 20% off would be really sweet!

Discount will definitely not include consoles, amongst other things, much as I wish it did.

Usual Ts&Cs are as follows;

"excludes purchases of gift, savings or POSA cards, plastic bags, video games, games consoles, Samsung, Nabi, Meep, and Wikipad tablets, Kurio tablets, Skylanders figures, Disney Infinity figures, MP3 players, or accessories"

Despite Toys'R'Us opening in Blanchardstown they are restricted from discounting prices or offering bundles deals and the like for 28 days. Their official opening is not until 4th October which is when a proper comparison can be made (hopefully).

One example - PS4 1Tb, no game included = €497 in Toys'R'Us but €399 pretty much everywhere else

the last time this type of sale was on some of the baby stuff was reduced but in my experience with Smyth's it's pure pot luck as to whether the item you are looking for is reduced or not. You could get a lovely reduction or there may be no reduction.

Basically it's worth a punt but I wouldn't assume the item you are looking for will be reduced at the same time.

Doesn't Argos usually have a big toy sale early in the shopping season as well?

anais

Yes argos usually do their 3for2 around the end of Sept

Just might leave it for the weekend then 54 instead of 70 for chicco 123. I'll be buying it anyway but would be nice ve to get a reduction. Although it's the cheapest place to get it right now anyway.
Also does it mean Friday or Saturday?

collegeme

My sons love the half shell teenage turtles and they have increased in price by approx 10-20% from €9.99 to €11.99 and from €19.99 to €21.99

but in fairness the multipack is currently down from 34.99 to 24.99 so it will be good to see if the prices hold

Never again went last year couldn't move up the Isles
Had to leave trolley as no room to push it, came back to find stuff taken out of it
I'd rather pay20% extra to have peace and quiet

Was there the Sunday of last year and it was fine, maybe everyone rushed there for the Saturday.

Does anyone know if the bikes will be included in 20% off

Johnny_Fontane

think the 3 for 2 with argos is far better. Savings are much larger and you dont have to deal with the general public!

projektzwoo

Is it Saturday and Sunday only or Friday as well?

Not much use if what you want is not part of the offer.

Or if you can't get three things of the same (or close) value from the one store.

TheDoc

Be interested to know if their Funko Pop Vinyl will get this discount. they have a decent selection in there, normally for the €14.99 base value everywhere charges. A 20% discount could well get me into airside to grab a few.

Has anyone received an email about this yet?

No, just staff mentioning it in-store.

They sorta need to announce it don't they ? I'm sceptical it's happening with no official word.

It would kill sales this week if they said something.

ThisRegard

If it's supposed to be this weekend, it wouldn't have much affect, it's Thursday now anyway.

I went in there today to check out the bikes (looking for one for my nephew). Lots of stock and bikes are included in the sale.

FWIW, the guy I spoke to confirmed that this is a sale weekend and one of their busiest of the year.

SusanC10

Does the Sale start tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday ?

Mr E

Tomorrow.

Sunny Dayz

Well in fairness they aren't going to announce it until this evening - otherwise nobody would buy anything today!

Rael

Sale starts tomorrow until Monday, in-store only. The signs were put up in Jervis Street tonight at 8:30. Saw them with my own eyes.

Sale does not apply to consoles, software, Amiibos, Pop-Vinyl figures, Disney Infinity, Skylanders etc. It's limited to toys. Discount is 20% off marked price at the till.

Wanted to pick up the lego batmobile for my sister for my nephews birthday but doubt it will be in stock come tomorrow evening when I get off work!

Would have loved if it was online!!
