    That's misleading, alright. "Boards.ie" is not a... reviewing entity. Should have credited "random Boards.ie forum poster" - but that doesn't quite have the same ring to it. :D

    Surely they're in violation of some sort of advertising trading standards rule.
    - did they get permission to use the "poster's" quote from the poster / boards.ie
    - surely they need to attribute the quote to the poster and boards.ie.

    Hows the backpack? I am gonna head up tomorrow and grab either the messenger bag or the backpack. For cycling I need the backpack to allow some air flow on my back.

    Will they be accepted in Tesco Ireland as they look slightly different?

    I used a combination of Irish and English vouchers and had no problems but they are quite different front and back. The girl just counted them and threw them into the space below the cash register.

    There is a golden coupon in the recent Tesco leaflet that is worth 10 regular coupons and allows you to get your favourite luggage at 70% discount.

    Where could I get one of these? I did €50 worth of shopping in Tesco today despite usually being a Lidl man myself. I thought the tokens were 1 for €10 but only got 2 unfortunately and need to get some decent luggage, my old trusty argos el-crappo case is finished after bursting the ZIP this year in Malaysia. I got 80,000 airmiles out of that case and whilst it was not great quality it worked well and this Tesco case looks like the right job if I could get it.

    I got it with other leaflets, flyers and post the other day. I believe you may find them in stores as well.

    It's on the inside of this weeks Tesco brochure that's at the door as you walk in most Tescos.

    Evening,
    Have a look on Adverts.ie, several kind people offering the for FREE, just pay postage to cover their cost.
    Last two purchases this week and I'm done.
    And I agree with previous poster, a smile to the girl on the checkout when asked if your collecting them works wonders, always get at least double what I should get.

    18" case seems to be rare, picked up the last unit in Tesco Navan yesterday evening so now fully kitted out. The wash bag is a handy accessory as well.
    Anyone know how this deal is going for Tesco seeing as they extended it till September

    The cases are selling at about 3 pallets a day. The rucksak is the most popular, its usually sold out before the next delivery. Met a few mums buying the rucksac as a school bag!

    Hello all,

    scudzilla brought this to my attention and I'm really not happy about it at all - it looks like Boards.ie is endorsing this product and that is both misleading and flat out immoral. Boards.ie is a platform and is independent of these sorts of things and has no opinion either way. It's nice to get the bit of free publicity in a paper like the Sunday Times, but they could at least have had the good graces to say that it was one of our members that said it and not us.

    We'll be getting in touch with them about it today.

    Tesco certainly has a case to answer.

    Thanks Dav

    I'm pretty distressed about this whole thing, how a huge and reputable company such as Tesco can print a comment i made (without permission) and attribute it to BOARDS.IE as a whole.

    I do most of my shopping in Tesco and this has really put me off.

    Hoping something comes from this, keep us informed

    Went in to purchase one of these this evening and was disappointed with the size of the 24" case, it is just simply too small for long haul I think. Fine for a week in the canaries etc. but too small for a jaunt to South East Asia or Australia etc. The cases are to me very good quality but as I tend to travel long haul more frequently not what I was looking for. The cabin baggage is nice for Ryanair but I tend to avoid that excuse for an airline anyway.

    There was no tokens in the Tesco Magazine either unless it was in last weeks edition.

    Got the backpack the other day for carrying the laptop and stuff into work on my motorbike.
    I must say while it's certainly a smaller and less featuresque version of the ones for €60 and €70 and the stated RRP of €50 seems rather optimistic it's a great rucksack for €15 and it sits and feels nice while riding around.
    Good quality with really good zips and overall it looks like a well made rucksack. No cheapy feel about it at all, quite the opposite, but I can't comment on how they compare to the more expensive Wenger products. For me it's a keeper. Will get either the holdall or one of the trolley bags too, really like them for the money.

    Has anybody used the 18" Suitcase trolley on a Ryanair flight as "cabin size" stated by Tesco?. Wenger at Tesco is 40cm x 34cm x 22cm. Ryanair say on their website "cabin baggage size" 55cm x 40cm x 20cm. Pity the depth is 22cm. Its very difficult to get 20cm depth. Is it best to buy the Ryanair bag? Wonder what quality it is?

    Picked this up today http://www.tesco.com/direct/wenger-18-trolley/770-9172.prd...very good quality...I wouldn't worry about the 2cm theres a pocket on the front so leave that empty and you should be fine..

    Yes . . and it was fine . . Although it is a little bigger than the Ryanair dimensions, it is soft and flexible enough so that you can still fit in the measuring thingy !

    Received one of the 24" suitcases yesterday from Tesco as compensation for my distress at them using my post in that advert.

    Nice case so it is :D:D
