charlieboy Posted February 24, 2012 Good ol Asda! As well as still having the new SW Battle Packs for £5.99 my local is now selling all the Series 1 planet sets for £6.30 each plus Droid Escape and Geonosian Cannon for £8.50! Just got off the phone to my local Asda stores and neither has any idea why other stores are selling them so cheap! Remind me where abouts you are matey, might be worth the drive to save some pennies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praiter Yed Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Just got off the phone to my local Asda stores and neither has any idea why other stores are selling them so cheap! Remind me where abouts you are matey, might be worth the drive to save some pennies! I think a bit too far for you to drive Charlieboy, my local Asda is in a small town called Golborne, between Wigan & Leigh (Lancashire). Up until quite recently it's been like you said previously, none of the good offers other members have mentioned going on. I almost bought Droid Escape a couple of weeks ago because it was reduced to £17 but decided I'd leave it a year or so until they go on a decent offer . Don't know why they're so cheap now, maybe they just want to shift the stock? Edited February 27, 2012 by Praiter Yed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Studio Draven Posted February 26, 2012 Tesco have the SE Millennium Falcon for £64. No WAY I could resist that. I didn't see any other reductions, but there wasn't a lot of stock left in the branch I visited. Also John lewis seem to have some sort of promotion going too; I picked up the 8069 backhoe for £25 (in store, that is. Their website is still £49.99).

Wonderpants Posted February 26, 2012 Tesco have the SE Millennium Falcon for £64. No WAY I could resist that. Don't think I'd be able to resist either if I saw it! Which Tesco store was this in, don't suppose it was a London one by any chance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Studio Draven Posted February 26, 2012 Which Tesco store was this in, don't suppose it was a London one by any chance? Aberdeen, but the price label was a properly printed one detailing the savings so it seems to be an official offer. Possibly your local one could get stock sent there if they don't have one; there were 8 left after I bought mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rakky Posted February 28, 2012 Not bad, some fairly cheap sets there, I think I will piuck up an endor battlepack in town tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Some good deals on Superhero sets at Amazon including 29% off Battle over Gotham. Actually that, the Batcave and the Two-Face set are just a flat £10 off so Battle over Gotham is the biggest percentage (and probably the best set of those).

Rumble Strike Posted February 29, 2012 Amazon's price drops are nearly always due to pricematching another retailer. In this case they are matching Play's One Day Sale price on those, so be quick as they will both be gone tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tend to favour Amazon because (a) Prime and (b) they tend to be in stock longer than the place they're matching. Although these look like they're still in stock in both. Meanwhile Golden Staff Guardians half price. The set itse;f is pretty rubbish but a couple of mummies and a sweet motorbike for < £5 isn't bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ash Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Rise of the Sphinx just hit 56% off (£18.16). They must of had a hell of a lot of these. It's been around 30% off for a while now... I bought mine last week, I should have waited! Edit: Uh, on Amazon. I probably should have said that bit! Edited March 1, 2012 by Ash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other members are also reporting similar savings that I mentioned earlier on Droid Escape and Geonosian Cannon in Asda stores. Some stores seem to be selling them for £11.90 and others as I reported, at £8.50. Both prices are good so it might be worth checking out or a phone call.

Ash Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Portal of Atlantis is today's big Amazon half-pricer (well 49% off). Tempting for £41, but I've already bought too much in the last week or so. It looks interesting, but I'm not a massive fan of Atlantis (except Deep Sea Striker which I love). I guess I'll pass. Big Bentley is cheap again as well, but that's nothing new. Edit: Oh actually Atlantis HQ is down a lot too 44% to £23. That's a possibility for me. I like HQ/Base type sets for playing with with my kid and we don't really have any at the moment. Might pick that one up. Might go look if I can find a review first. Edited March 2, 2012 by Ash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rumble Strike Posted March 2, 2012 Both of those sets are really good, Ash. The Portal is quite a large building, imposing, and the HQ is actually smaller than I expected but very cleverly built. Either would be a good buy at those prices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either would be a good buy at those prices. Well HQ ordered anyway. I have fond memories of playing with stuff like that and I think my kid will like it. Maybe stash it away for a rainy day. I think I'll hold off on Portal. For the price I'd rather wait and see if The Alien Conquest mobile HQ goes on special again. For the price I think I prefer it.

Ash Posted March 3, 2012 Good call. Also Deep Sea Raider which is still full price on Amazon. A couple of the other smaller 2011 Atlantis sets as well. Damn that Deep Sea Raider is one ugly set though. A couple of pieces look like they might be good for ginat robots or something, but even at half price I'm not touching that one!

fitbin Posted March 8, 2012 My local Asda had the 30005 Imperial Stormtrooper Bike for £2 each. I realise this isn't a sale as such, but anyone wanting to build their stormtrooper army might want to check their local Asda before they disappear. There were 20 of them, but I bought the lot. Sorry children of Charlton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
