and straight to london with it :-)

Great monkey business there OP.

aaakev · 24-12-2018 1:09pm

Thats some discount, seems decent from the reviews

SteM · 24-12-2018 1:25pm

Thanks OP, was looking at this when it was discounted on Amazon a few weeks ago. 25 mins flight time but no obstacle avoidance sensors like the DJI but at this price I'll be happy pick one up I think.

uck51js9zml2yt · 24-12-2018 1:34pm

Just picked one up.couldnt justify the price of the Xiaomi 4k.

24-12-2018 1:50pm

that is a big big discount.

seems pretty decent and has some unique features on the camera

no obstacle avoidance for beginners but good long flight time on it and pretty portable.

epopnomis · 24-12-2018 1:57pm

so have never thought about getting one of these but seems like a sweet deal. would anyone recommend me not to get this..

SteM · 24-12-2018 2:00pm

It's a great drone, comparable to the Mavic Air. Definitely a price error. It's 460gbp in the UK..

Yeah, can't see them sending it out at that price. Not sure if Curry's usually honour pricing errors.

I know I thought the same, ordered one just in case though..

epopnomis · 24-12-2018 2:24pm

ordered one too.. now the waiting game.. its still over 400 pounds on uk site

tedpan · 24-12-2018 2:27pm

Seeing that most of the competition are selling it for 550e I'm guessing that it should say 490e, save 279e

Who knows?!

Silent Running · 24-12-2018 2:31pm

Dammit... ordered.

scottigael · 24-12-2018 2:32pm

I'd say they'll honour the price. Plenty of times stuff was on sale on the Irish currys site and not the uk one.

bromley52 · 24-12-2018 2:40pm

Why did I have check this site today? My poor credit card.

Rooy · 24-12-2018 2:43pm

I feel an impulse purchase coming on.

24-12-2018 2:53pm

fomo kicking in for some lol

blarney_boy · 24-12-2018 2:59pm

Was supposed to spend the work xmas bonus on an indoor trainer but then I saw this post - - - damn you boards.ie, damn you all to hell!

Deagol · 24-12-2018 3:02pm

Dammit, I promised I wasn't going to make any pre-Xmas self present buys this year

Rooy · 24-12-2018 3:06pm

Ordered. Was thinking about getting one for a while , will need to practice on my sons cheap christmas version first ! , thanks OP.

Don't do that, it'll put you off!

Cheap drones are so annoying to fly, this will almost fly itself

aaakev · 24-12-2018 3:43pm

**** it i ordered one too! Been threatening to get one for a while now so too good a price to pass up

Cristobaal · 24-12-2018 3:50pm

I got it as well. The price is too good to pass it. Thank you OP.

jpfahy · 24-12-2018 3:57pm

Out of stock now

epopnomis · 24-12-2018 4:03pm

fingers crossed.. surely currys will have to show some xmas spirit on this one.

Zardoz · 24-12-2018 4:10pm

Took too long to deliberate and its sold out now ,ah well.
It seems very small .

You'd be spot on. Hope you guys get lucky. It'd be up there with the best BA's of 2018 for sure. I know that Currys have honoured before, but I fear the worst with this one. I'd say they are frantically typing up the emails as we speak

I suppose it could depend on how many have been ordered? If a small amount they could well honor it bit if someone ordered 10 of them they probably fecked it up for the rest of us !

Finger's crossed it will be honoured! It's still in stock on the UK site. Maybe there was stock in Ireland, who knows? Now the waiting game..

Sold out in the UK site too. Maybe they're processing our orders.. I feel a Christmas miracle is coming

Bought around noon when I saw thread.
Got the "we are working on your order" email so hopefully it will be honoured.

Thanks OP.

tedpan · 24-12-2018 6:29pm

Hope so, although the anafi has been removed from currys.ie

Hmmm

aaakev · 24-12-2018 10:01pm

Still showing as out of stock on the uk site but the price has gone up by a tenner.... pretty strange

They must need to make the cash back on the next batch

Fuzzy Logic · 24-12-2018 11:38pm

Should anyone have buyers remorse I'll be happy to take it from you

Me too. The worrying line in the second mail is "All orders are subject to stock availability.":(
