    Reserved LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter Toy Building Set on Monday for collection - price €80.99

    Unfortunately I didn't get to collect.

    Went to reserve again today and the price is now €119.99 !!

    €39 difference, crazy price hike Argos!

    Probably in readiness for post Christmas sale where coincidentally there will be a near 40 euro reduction in it's price.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    without the confirmation text you're wasting your time going near them. Most of us have learnt that now!

    Would they send a confirmation email if you didn't provide a phone number?

    Do the individual Argos stores have their own phone numbers?
    If you go onto Argos website and click on ‘contact us’ it only shows one generic phone number....ring it and you can only talk to a ‘computer’....no human option.
    The product I am looking up is out of stock all over Ireland.It is a Smartband,know someone who got one recently in Argos so I doubt if they are discontinued.
    So wanted to ring nearest store to see if they can order it in?...Can this be done?

    Thanks for any replies.

    No it can’t be done, check back next week and there might be an expected date of when the new stock will come in

    Most will show up as Atlantic Dawn pointed out. As an aside I got a phone call from an argos store yesterday asking if I would be in to collect a reservation as they had a customer looking to buy the same item but no stock left.

    I just googled my local store- Killarney- & the telephone number is listed for it- you may be able to find your local store if you have an old receipt- it's probably listed on it?

    Thanks.....do they generally say on the website if a product is being discontinued?.......
    Would go sussing out other Smartbands if I thought that the one I’m after was not just out of stock but actually not being ordered back in.

    While slightly more expensive, this Aldi set is way better value (reviewed well on hardness etc as well)

    https://www.aldi.ie/100-piece-screwdriver-and-bit-set/p/097112258058900

    Just picked up the Stanley set, but think I'll return it and get this Aldi one instead.

    Is the amazon firestick the new 4k model or and older model? https://m.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/8798723/Trail/searchtext>Firestick.htm

    It says 4k in the description but I'm not convinced.

    Doesn't work either but this one should

    https://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10152&catalogId=14551&langId=111&searchTerms=8798723&authToken=

    It says 4k you would assume it is but considering they're selling on amazon direct for £49.99 I'd imagine it's the first gen. In saying that I know nadda about the things.

    Best to get it from amazon really but no harm buying it and looking at the box and if it’s not 4K hand it back, Argos have a good refund policy
