Christmas Bargain Prequel Thread 2 -summer holidays loom

[Sideorderofchips]

Onto our second thread with less than 6 months to go!

We had something like this and my dc lived playing with it. Sadly we sold ours last month I'm not sure what make it was as it was second hand

For what it's worth, this was my favourite ever Lego Star Wars set, now sadly discontinued but lots on eBay ( often without the figures).

This isn't ours, by the way. That baby is never being sold 😄

https://www.vinted.co.uk/items/9061043064-playskool-star-wars-galactic-heroes-millennium-falcon-and-3-figures lots of things like this on vinted x

I like the look of these, can't see them on the entertainer site though?

Thanks all, I will definitely keep searching eBay and Vinted 😀

@Fivebyfive2
There's a smaller millennium falcon in lego that goes on a stand, don't know if figures can go in it but was about £55 on offer couple of years ago

@Fivebyfive2 there is a set called the dark falcon which is smaller than the original one and really fun to play with, DS got it for Christmas and it has only gone away since he got new lego for his bday a few weeks ago!

Thank you so much for this. DD (14) has been putting in offers for iets frans joggers on Vinted but they had some in the sale on UO cheaper! You are my hero :)

I have a £7 off £75 Argos code if it's of use to anyone here?

I'm looking to get my youngest son a yoto mini for Christmas. I'm sure when I got my eldest one we managed to get it slightly reduced but can't remember where from or the time of year. Does anyone have any recommendations on this please?
Or when the cards go on discount too. Thanks

I think the cards got discounted around black friday and the boxes do too. However, if you have another email address you may be better referring yourself because you will save money on the new account and gain credits on your existing account. If you can do that - I've not tried it.

Just found this on Amazon for less than £2! Good to put aside for any toddlers in the family!

After Christmas I know but they also do cards for £1 on world book day.

I could make use of it if still available please. My combi microwave has given up the ghost this weekend so need to replace this week.

@Dalesway have sent it to you via PM.

Thanks @daisyboo1, much appreciated.

For anyone looking for jewellery for teens or adults I can recommend this place. Went in person yesterday and got a lovely bracket for £5

Thanks, book has been purchased for grandson’s Christmas. A great deal!

@wendy1288 we did the referral and signed up for the club at the same time as a 20% off offer. I think the club discount stacked with the 20% off.

Managed to pick up a micro scooter for £60 on eBay brand new. Rather happy with my little bargain there as it’s the specific colour he wanted.

I am now on look out for Nintendo switch 2 deals. I have £500 of smyths gift cards so does anyone know what deal they usually do?

@LoveHearts69 Thanks for that! Perfect gift for new nephew!

If anybody shops with Ocado -have a look on their clearance section.
I have just doubled my shop -they have some lovely half price M&S candles and half price unusual spirits.
I got a bottle of tequila which will be great for DH for Christmas for £22.50 from £45.
They also have kids clothes, crockery’s, glasses, wine.
You could easily get 2 nice glasses and a reasonable bill toe of wine for £15-£20 which in a gift bag makes a nice pressie.
They have Mirabel wine (Brad Pitts wine producing vineyard) which is very highly rated at a good price (think it was £18 - I got carried away adding stuff to basket! ).

Thank you. Two first birthdays coming up so that’s part of that sorted

They were in store over the weekend.
