Explains why all the toys have gone up 20-30% in the last few weeks!

Glad I'm not the only one who had noticed that. Tesco is the same way, toys are quite a bit more expensive than the likes of Smyths. I'm guessing they're laying the groundwork for the pre-c-word sales that are undoubtedly on the way.

Noticed on HUKD that there was some costumes reduced in Argos, I'm sure they are fairly awful but would surely hold up for one evening!

Link to Argos Costumes sorted from price lowest

Some links to the individual ones:

Flapper Costume - Size 12-14. (€7.99)

Looks pretty decent, has very good reviews. Can be ordered in all stores that its not in stock in.

Full Body Stretch 2nd Skin Costume. (€13.99)

AAAWWWW YISSSS, a mother-flippin morph suit. Reviews are pretty poor but who can resist! Good stock everywhere.

Sailor Girl Costume - Size 12-14. (€10.99)

Doesn't look too bad, reviews are only ok tough. In stock in most places

Boba Fett Costume - Chest Size 38-42 inches. (€13.99)

Looks ok, reviews are decentish too.

A couple of others that I wont put pictures up for as they are border-line NSFW

Miss Spider Girl Costume - Size 8-10. (€13.99) - Looks poor and reviews are worse :eek:

Ghostbuster Costume - Size 10-12. (€18.99) - More like Ghost-BUSTY! AM-I-RITE? :pac: (I'll get my coat)

Your running commentary on each of the products made me laugh out loud (esp the morph suit one)

:D:D Like!

EDIT: Also description on the Spider Girl one:
Daughter of Peter Parker, best known as Spider-Man, Spider Girl has quickly made a name for herself in the Marvel world as a great heroine. Make an entrance to any party dressed as the one and only Little Miss May Parker. )

..............yes, you will certainly make an entrance..... :O

witnessmenow · 15-09-2015 09:06PM

I'm not going to lie, I had great chuckle to myself when I thought of the Ghostbusters one!

I actually went for the black spider man one, If I can get some form of a webshooter I would have great craic for the night.

Yeah that spider woman one is cat alright

SanDisk Ultra microSDHC 128GB only 45e was 75e plenty of stock around.

Nice! If buying for use in your phone, check compatibility as this may be too big depending on the make/model.

But I see that this will work with the HTC ONE M8, so that'll do me nicely!

Doodah7 · 17-09-2015 01:42PM

Just to say that the 128GB microsd cards are the newer, faster 80MB/s as opposed to the 45MB/s quoted on the Argos website. These cards are £52 on Amazon...

Bargain!

Folks, its the missus' birthday coming and I'd really like to get her one of these. Is there a kind soul in Letterkenny that would post it to Dublin with obvious reimbursement?

She might like this http://www.powercity.ie/?par=20-25-R250PG

Got one for my sister - she loves it:-)

Damnit!
I moved heaven and earth and managed to get a friend of a friend to get the smaller one in Letterkenny!

Ah well!

But apparently it is not a DAB radio!

Just a quick question, do Argos offer price matching if you find the same item elsewhere cheaper? (like currys / pc worlds price promise?))

If anyone wants my reservation for the Sandisk 64gb USB stick for Stephen's Green it is 670310.

Won't get a chance to get in to pick it up so may as well pass it on

3 for 2 on toys (not gaming consoles) starting this Wednesday in Argos stores for 1 week.

Tinder Surprise · 23-09-2015 04:02PM

SanDisk Cruzer Blade 128GB USB Flash Drive €25.99

USB 2.0 but seems a decent price.

OR

USB 3.0 Version for a few quid more....

SanDisk Ultra 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive €32.49.

Alanstrainor · 23-09-2015 04:25PM

USB 3.0 all day for that little of a difference. Very tempted! Don't really use my stick much any more, but it would be dead handy having that much storage on a stick!

snowgal · 23-09-2015 04:26PM

just ordered that cheers!
