Thread 13 - the one with the day of the cardboard boxes

[Reastie]

Thanks @bizzey for the title, which tickled me! The day of the triffids? Nope, it’s the day of the cardboard boxes!

My Amazon lego voucher isn’t applying at checkout, could anyone suggest any reasons why? I’m trying to buy the HP clock tower.

I’m experiencing the same problem, I also tried it on my husband’s account and it still wouldn’t work.

@BestofLuck I brought him that one last Christmas and it looks fab!

The voucher discount isn’t showing for me on Amazon Lego at checkout either?

I just got a Tesco order with 3 large Yankee jars for £9 each instead of £14. There was also a £5 of £30 spend on certain home items so bought a small jar too and got the lot for £27. Not sure if this is in store too or only online.

The Amazon codes aren't coming off for me. Read the terms and it says you can only have one item in your basket with a voucher applied, so I emptied all but one and it's still not working. Has anyone else fixed their issues with it?

@BestofLuck great spot on the 10% Lego discount, managed to get the mandalorian baby Yoda Lego for £45. Thanks!

Fossil have 20%off sale prices today. The prices look very similar to the previous offer but if anyone missed it, now's your chance.

I messaged them and they said there were technical issues for some accounts that should be resolved in a few hours. They also applied a voucher to my account for anything fulfilled by amazon for the trouble, so might be worth online chatting with them (the voucher is actually more than the lego one).

Morning everyone

lookfantastic is worth a browse this morning - it’s has some stocking filler/small gift items in a 3 for 2 offer.

Separately my eldest has recently got into Greek myths and Percy Jackson ( he’s 9 nearly 10 - ADHD and doesn’t usually read or engage in learning so this is progress, and another hyper focus to football!). Other than a book does anyone have any thoughts for gifts? I’m stumped

Sorry that it is books but this series of graphic novels are amazing & really dig into the Greek myths

I’ve contacted Amazon via their online chat and they ended up applying the discounts for the Lego manually at the checkout, whilst I was on the chat with them. I did have to check out one item at a time for it to work though.

Thank you for the tip about the voucher for reduced Lego on Amazon!

@Reastie can't believe we are almost at post 940
Nearly time for a new thread

Smyths have the latest Smashers mega Dino light up egg on pre order at £19.99.
They're £25 elsewhere.
Just ordered as it's on DS's top 3 pressies list!

I did a chat with amazon .they were adding the amount of vouchers to my account - not showing currently

Hi can someone remind me of the whsmith codes please. I've scrolled back but can't find them x

Does anyone get nervous by shopping early ? Had a few times my kids obsessions changed over night between Oct to Dec. Last year DS wasn't into Minecraft then suddenly he was. I can't decide whether to buy tue Amazon discounted Minecraft Lego? Will he be onto someone else despite asking for this 😬 especially as he never seems to play with Lego so once it's build that it.

Stick-o magformers 16 piece city set (to make a plane or car) reduced from £16 to £10 on Amazon and JL. Great for the little ones my 2 year old has some.

@Billyandemily

I have dithered for ages over what to get DH as if he needs anything he just buys it himself and I am generally rubbish at thinking of what to get him. Bit the bullet and went with a voucher for Sindhu in Marlow via buyagift as he loves Atul Kochar. 24% off today and signed up to topcashback so got another 12 quid back! V happy indeed now.

I've started the next thread as we are getting close again @Reastie hope that's okay?
