Can't see any anywhere. What one did you just get, what's the cstalogue code. It also makes no sense for them to be coming back up right now, as the offer started today, which with Argos reservation system, means they will all be held until closing tomorrow.

Something doesn't add up

Have a code for Dun Laoghaire for the Lego bundle @189, didn't get to add the free Fifa game as website was acting up this morning, but they will add it no worries in the store if you show the web site special offer.
Won't make it out there tomorrow, I'll send on to first pm so it doesn't go to waste.

gone to Digitalism

Screen grab or something please as I didn't expect them to be restocking already ??

Quiksilver · 29-09-2016 08:12PM

Ya, was available in limerick, as soon as i went to reserve it, "Out of Stock". Fishy fishy.

RobbingBandit · 29-09-2016 08:18PM

Damn too late for that Lego one.

mik_da_man · 29-09-2016 08:18PM

Can't do a screenshot on the phone without showing the number but I did get it.

Just pure luck I guess...

Miraculously managed to get a Reservation for one in the ILAC centre so waited for the email/text to arrive - delighted with myself!

Email arrived with no Reservation number and no product listing!!!

This offer is going to drive me :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:!!!!!

Manutd623 · 29-09-2016 09:44PM

Has anyone ever used parcel motel on argos.co.uk? Does it work?

Realistically you wont get one now. Even if you did get a reservation theres a good chance staff will pinch it as it happened to other posters.

This happened me with the LG TV and more recently too. I've emailed HQ about it and the response is that the system could not keep up with demand and couldn't keep track of stock.

Realistically, you won't get one.

Be great if you did though.

Was trying to use it today, it wouldn't let me use an irish phone number, looks like you need a uk number for it to let you proceed with the order.
Anyway i'm not too sure how well it would work out, i assume that argos deliveries wouldn't be boxed and would just arrive to parcel motel all loose.

Yes, several times. Use either Paypal or Revolut for payments and Parcel Motel for delivery. Phone number is irrelevant so make one up!

Either way, PM will box it together for delivery to you.

Manutd623 · 29-09-2016 10:14PM

When its looking for details when ordering it looks for a house number and name etc. but if its going through parcel motel, will my name work then as I won't be signing for it? Thanks in advance

Are you telling me I wont get one? I was breaking it to Gloomtastic
:pac::D

Not surprised they just fobbed you off!

Basq · 29-09-2016 10:52PM

Tempted to pick one up but did Sony learn nothing with the very in-demand feature of PS2 backward compatibility with the PS3?!

Dr Bolouswki · 30-09-2016 12:22AM

Such ugliness in the thread - the whole housing boom here was built on people sucking up scarce resources and selling them on - might as well complain endlessly about that too - I'm sure no-one was involved in that. Yeah it's witless and greedy, but that's capitalism. 50 people re-iterating the same point and the thread turns to garbage. The whole response here seemed too much like online bullying. And then they guy get's banned for saying they are available via the Uk? Laughable.

dan786 · 30-09-2016 01:04AM

Managed to reserved two in my local Argos for myself and a friend, few stores had them 5 mins ago but all gone now.

Got a notification from a tracker.

Yeah seems like it as Argos Uk started updating their site around same time going by HUKD thread.

I think he was re-selling them on adverts and seemed to be "Giving away" reservation codes that he booked. A genuine buyer wouldn't be booking several of them across the country.
If was was to get one the only thing i would be tempted to sell would be Fifa, PC gamer so i really only want to play the ps4 exclusives, uncharted 4, Killzone etc. Would have been ideal

Will try in the morning and tomorrow evening but not keeping my hopes up.

I think you're missing the point. BA is not for folk to make profit, it's for folk to make a saving on items. Anyone, and i mean ANYONE, who takes that information and uses it to turn a profit at the expense of others who were looking for the item, and has the nerve to flaunt it on the very forum they discovered the information in the first place, deserves nothing less than the worst. And anyone that defends those who would profiteer is in the same bracket. Capitalism is one thing, this is a whole other ball game, and i and many others refuse to be party to it- Boards is a community, not a stop for people to turn profit.

So yeah, in my opinion, you could pretty much also jog on.

rizzee · 30-09-2016 02:20AM

Trying a few bundles, says in stock in certain stores then I put in my number and email to reserve, click reserve this item And it brings me to opening hours of a completely different store. Anyone else had this problem?

No point being missed - it doesn't take 50 people to express their disappointment with his actions and turn the thread into a flame fest. Luckily your "community minded" (oh the irony - that means those who agree?) opinion is something that I'll treat with the esteem it deserves. Take a walk yourself pal.

UsedToWait · 30-09-2016 05:21AM

^ The guy was blatantly trying to profiteer on a bargain that a member of this community took the time to post for the benefit of other members.

He's no better than a ticket tout or than a shill, two other species of pond-dwelling scum who deserve every ounce of disrespect thrown their way.

I spoke out against the vitriol received by the guy who innocently knobbled the Halfords/Axa discount scheme, but this PlayStation shyster deserves every negative post he got, in my opinion.
