Just popped into my local Tesco for a few bits and looked in at the Simpson Minifigures in the Toy section. As they were 3 for £5 I tried to smoosh for the 2 that I needed for a complete set. I found the ones I wanted and as I came across a couple of Comic Book Guys I bought a small bundle.

When I paid at the till I could tell that the 3 for £5 hadn't been factored in so I went to the customer service desk they refunded me double the difference as their mistake meant they had over charged me so I ended up getting 6 minifigures for £5 which is even better than the 5 for £5 @‌ Sainsburys deal I posted up last week.

Cheers for the heads up.

I per customer ( shame ) and it starts tomorrow. In store only I believe.

They are also still running the sticker promo on lego. ( 1 sticker each £20 spend - 4 stickers = £20 voucher)

 

Asda £1 simpsons Minifigures, grab em while you can.

So with the imminent Argos 3 for 2 on toys deal, what sets are you all looking to get?

I'm going for the Series 14 Minifigures, leaving the big sets for the big boys.  Lack of storage isnt helping.

Scooby and any JW left.  Will pick up a couple 75104, off chance it’s the popular Christmas set and one of my regulars ends up needing one at short notice. I try to have at least one of each of the bigger sets available near the holidays.   

 

Is there actually any 3 for 2 sale in Germany? o.O

I really hate it to see all these great discounts and I'm just sitting here and wanna buy the whole JW theme and Scooby sets and some Star Wars Sets and....

But there are not better discounts than double VIP and some rare discounts here and there :-(

I WANT a 3 for 2 sale on a regular basis just like you guys have it :-(

*continues whining...*

If it makes you feel better, you will get the German Football/Soccer team minifigures while it looks like not available elsewhere.

If it’s any conciliation, it’s been pretty lame.  I managed to place two orders around 1am, before the site crashed, hit them again this morning at 6 and no JW anywhere near me (10 stores) the only Scooby set available is the Lighthouse set. 

From the 5 stores I’ve visited so far I’ve manage to get 33 CMF’s, rejected a Jokerland as it was so beat up with no stock anywhere else.  Otherwise it’s SW sets everywhere, which I want one or two of but otherwise just too early and 33% off isn’t too hard to come by.  

Only good news I’ve had is that I’ve managed 12 SW advent calendars, with 3 more on order..  Holding out for Amazon to price match.

Sorry to say it but if you can't find any decent discounts in Germany than you are not looking hard enough...at least on the JW sets before they sold out everywhere and on everything Star Wars ...

The only thing not really available at a discount are the Scooby Doo sets...
 

 

Yeah really wanted to get the Indominous Rex but none anywhere near me. Only 1 Scooby Doo Mansion found. Surprised so easy to get all the Star Wars sets, was expecting those to go first.

Do Toys R Us UK actually enforce their item limits by cancelling orders etc. Wanting to get some of those C3PO polys

Just a heads up for fellow UK AFOLs, the Argos 3 for 2 on toys will start again next month starting on Friday 6th November until Tuesday 10th November. This will include both online and in-store purchases.

Better take a screenshot now and then see how much they jack their prices up in the next week so.

Free poly with the mail next month, nothing special but might have some value later on, depending on the success of TFA

Are you seriously expecting Argos to keep their current 20% off deals while they have their 3 for 2 offer? 

Last time I looked Argos was a business, not a charity.

Don't be daft, of course I'm not expecting them to be a charity but the Argos 3 for 2 is a complete fraud, plain and simple. They jack their prices in the weeks before the 3 for 2 so that the savings are no where near the 1/3 off that the 3 for 2 would imply. I'll give you an example, the Millennium Falcon has been increased to €191, so if you buy 3 for 2, it works out at €127 each, which is less than 10% below the RRP. 

This is for the Irish site.

I can't comment on the Irish site but I have never ever seen Argos price up lego sets higher than the RRP. I've only ever seen Toys R Us do this.

Anyone had any luck getting these in the UK? Can't seem to see them on the UK TRU site and don't want to travel all the way to a retail store until it is confirmed available. Saw a comment saying they are supposed to be starting today (1st November) but nothing heard from TRU themselves
