Ds is mad about Clone Wars and he is having the costume, although it is actually for his birthday on 6th Dec not for xmas.

Anyhow, there is a blaster/gun which goes with the costume, but I cannot get it anywhere unless I want to pay over the odds, which I don't.

If anyone sees it in stock anywhere and it is no more than £20 can you please let me know, i'd be ever so grateful.

This is it here

None in Liverpool either. Will kepp looking.

IllegallyBrunette · 26/11/2008 09:49

Thanks

I have checked most of the Argos stores in the West Mids and they have no stock at all.

It says it is available to order for home delivery, but not within my postcode area, which is a bit

Yesterday they had it in stock but couldn't garuntee delivery within the next 3 mths, and it was £19.99.
Today it is in stock to order for xmas, but is now £29.99.

I know i've just seen one on amaon whih was £29.99 and it said supplied by Argos.

ledodgy · 26/11/2008 09:52

it says dispatched from and sold by Argos home delivery! That's well dodgy!

GentleOtter · 26/11/2008 09:53

Just checked all the Scottish stores 100 mile area from here and none in stock. Will keep a look out for you.

ledodgy · 26/11/2008 09:53

Thanks SD, bit too far for me to go unfortunatly LOL.

I wonder why it won't let you order it for home delivery where ever it is coming from ?? That is a bit unfair.

OP posts:
SoupDragon · 26/11/2008 09:55

Have reserved one until the end of tomorrow.

NorksDrift · 26/11/2008 09:56

There's one in Swiss Cottage and four in Haringey but unfortunately I can't get to either today. Do you know anyone in North London?

SoupDragon · 26/11/2008 09:56

Can post it.

IllegallyBrunette · 26/11/2008 09:56

That one is slightly different Aimsmum. Will have a look at it and see if I could get away with that one though.

OP posts:
SoupDragon · 26/11/2008 09:57

It's probably out of stock at the home delivery warehouse.

IllegallyBrunette · 26/11/2008 09:57

Oh could you SD, that would be brilliant. Are you sure it is no problem ??

OP posts:
SoupDragon · 26/11/2008 10:00

No problem at all. I can go and collect it tomorrow morning after I've dropped all the SmallDragons off at school/nursery.

IllegallyBrunette · 26/11/2008 10:03

Actually Soupy, after looking at the one on Aimsmums link I might aswell get that one. From what I can see, it is exactly the same but it is blue instead of white, and that ones only £12.99.

Thanks for the offer though.

IllegallyBrunette · 26/11/2008 10:08

Oh and thanks Aimsmum for finding that.

I am sure once he has it he won't care what colour it is anyway.

Our "thing" is a toy of Psychoboy1's that Flameboy has fallen in love with - but it is no longer on sale I am bidding constantly on ebay to get the bloody thing.

IllegallyBrunette · 26/11/2008 10:12
