Stepping out from my lurking status to say Boots have got 3 for 2 on No7 at the moment, which is currently stacking with their save £10 when you spend £30 offer. Good for anyone with teens/mums etc to buy for. I've just bought 3 of the protect & perfect intense advanced serum for £37 (usually £26 each) and apparently there are complimentary samples and a free gift in my basket as well, although I don't know what they are.

We've got the boxer on that deal for my 11yr old, he really wanted one last year but £80 was too steep for something so gimmicky. £25 is a lot more acceptable...just hoping he's not a bit old for it this Christmas.

Also, paperchase have started putting their cards out. Some pretty great ones for kids although not bargainous at £6/7... but they are pop up, have motorised snowstorms on the front, motorised Ferris wheels, play music. Really lovely.

I’m wondering if anyone can help me find something, but it’s a bit niche so I’m not holding out much hope but worth an ask!
Dd3 is autistic and obsessed over certain things, Spider-Man being the main thing (Tom Holland one) and funko pops too. Just found out funko had released a collectors corps Spider-Man far from home edition, and she would LOVE it. I can’t find it anywhere though, I don’t know if it was only released in America or if it sold out, but if anyone has seen one can you please, please give me a shout. Added a pic, only one I can find is on eBay but the postage is more expensive than the box.

@Jammiebammie have you checked on Forbidden Planet website? If they are available in UK that's where will have them.

I’m very impressed with The a Entertainer. Luvabella and Luvabeau ordered around 8am yesterday, dispatch email received 3 hours later and they were delivered about an hour ago! Excellent service.

@LutherRalph1 I should have ordered one off sass and belle the other week when they had discount codes 😫 I looked at them too!

PinkSaydreams I ordered a tea set from Sass & Bell here £8.50 down from £22. I got the puppy one and it’s lovely. Not sure it’s worth £22 but for £8.50 it’s very sweet.

Thanks @georgialondon there’s nothing on FP, just checked and this was released in July so even if it was available in the uk it would have been sold out now. I’m thinking ridiculous prices on eBay may be my only option now!

@Jammiebammie They have shelves of these types of figures in the FP stores so it might be worth phoning round them and seeing if they have this one in store. If they have one in Southampton, I can pick it up for you.

Thank you @BonnesVacances that’s a very kind offer. I didn’t think to phone around stores as I can’t ever get to them myself but I’ll give it a try!

Hi I'm hoping you clever people can help me I'm after a vinyl copy of

Till von sein #ltd

I searched but not very good at hunting down the rare stuff and I'd love to surprise someone with this. Keeping my fingers crossed TIA

@jammiebammie I know nothing about Funko Pops OR Spider-Man, so I could be missing the point here. But there are quite a few of the model in the left of your picture available in the UK on eBay like this. Not sure if you're wanting both or whatever is in the box below the models in your picture though.

I've just ordered £170 worth of stuff for £70 from The Entertainer (including the robot). Thanks to this thread I'll have finished at least both DSs by the time I get my didlum!!

@Jammiebammie I think that Collector Corps Pops are only available via a subscription box from Funko (which only ships within the US). You could try a Funko collector groups if you are on Facebook, if anyone has one, you're more likely to get it for a decent price than on eBay - you can search within the posts or post an 'in search of post'. I'm a member of the group 'Funko Pop Community UK' which I think is the largest group (not sure only really just joined).

@Chattycatty Did it definitely get issued on vinyl? Discogs only has 3 versions listed all of which are CDs (but they have been known to miss a version now and then)

Hi all, nothing bargainous to share yet, but wondered if anyone knew how to get Vue cinema vouchers at any sort of discount?
I want to buy 10 x £10 vouchers for nieces and nephews because I'm sick of buying (& receiving quite frankly!) plastic tat. Would be grateful for any tips!

HerGrapeness oh! I just assumed it had been. I'll check thank you

@PinkDaydreams
There are a couple on the Studio website for £12.99 that look nice, wooden or tin www.studio.co.uk/shop/en/studio/SearchDisplay?searchTerm=tea+set&storeId=10202&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&pageSize=20&sType=SimpleSearch&resultCatEntryType=2&showResultsPage=true&searchSource=Q&pageView=list&xTermType=term&orderBy=&beginIndex=0

NotPennysBoat Costco do them reduced but I think they're normally 2 lots of £25 for £40 if memory serves me.

jammie my dd is a massive funko pop fan too! try checking out the Facebook groups, people are very friendly and may be able to point you in the right direction if you post the pic up. I got advice on a mini figure dd wanted and I realised the other was way out of price range and she won't get it (£120++)

I think double boxed toys get alot of the exclusives and have seen these collector boxes on there before but not sure if they had Spider-Man.

alternatively do you know anyone going to mcm comic con in October? they have loads of stalls selling funko pops, we went to London last year and loads of choice and exclusives. they even have a funko shop stall.

and have you seen Spider-Man in his black stealth suit that's exclusive to Tesco? :)

Aw you lot are all amazing 🌟 thank you so much!

@totallyLosingIt I’ve seen the individual ones but the price actually really creeps up by the time they’re completed, I may as well buy the box from there. Thank you for checking for me.

@HerGrapeness I suspected that was the case. I didn’t even think of checking for Facebook groups, thank you. I’ll join that one.

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts thank you too! again fb groups mentioned, why did I never think of that! Glad to see another fan (I’ve been sucked in too and get quite excited by them, need to up my game though lol). I don’t know anyone going to the mcm comic con, I’m housebound so feel I miss out on so much! Dh wanted to take dd to a smaller one here (were in Scotland), but she would have got too overwhelmed. There seems to be loads of exclusives though, which look awesome.
I’ve got a black stealth suit spidey but I got it from pop in a box, not sure if it’s the same as the Tesco one, any chance you have a pic please?

jammiebammie have you tried menkind i know they do spiderman funko pops no idea if they're the ones your looking for but they do a free click and collect.

Lots of Christmas stuff and toys in Costco! Leapfrog bbq about £35, Melissa and Doug town/vehicle set £19, Disney dolls £17 ish..

Has anyone got the barbie care clinic?

I've seen that Asda have it down to £30 and wondered if it was any good

Dd is 4.5 years ago and likes playing with the Disney princess dolls
