Yellowtot Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Hey guys just checked Smyths toys and their having a clearout on click and collect only so they might have some sets in your local store.Mainly on Movie sets and Chima, I just picked up 5 Phoenix Temple's £50 each, another 4 Benny's spaceship at £50 (they have been cheaper but still a descent price) and a set I never thought I'd buy but for £30 each I picked up 4 Movie dropships.So check the stock in your local store and worth a punt if there in stock.Oh and be quick it's not on Hotdeals yet!

bryn Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks for the heads up mate, might swing by there on my way home Quote
thebrickdad Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Great Heads Up - Thanks. I'd drop by my local store, but don't fancy a trip to Lakeside after a full day at work and anyway, do I really want a load of dropships... (famous last words). Quote
skanks Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I don't get it.In stock in my local store but not available for click and collect? How come? Quote
Yellowtot Posted July 29, 2015 Author Posted July 29, 2015 The system can be very buggy, if you live near it might be worth a pop in tomorrow. So many times they have either more or less stock available then advertised. Quote
GiliusThunderhead Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks for posting this. If only I lived near a Smyths... well one that wasn't sold out of everything Great find - wish I could have taken advantage. That price on the dropship is great (not one that I had on the investment radar either). Was also considering getting a few Bennys SS before they finally run out in retail and would have pounced at £50 - still considering going in @ £65 as I think its a good one for the portfolio. Quote
CrabslayerT Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 LM for 50 squid too, might be worth a punt! Quote

Asda have Benny at £65, with a current spend £50 save £10. I assume the £10 is a one shot deal, so there may be more mileage in something else. e.g. F14 T & Scuderia Ferrari Truck - 75913 (RRP £79.99) £63.97 Service Truck – 42008 (RRP £99.99) £69.97The Mine –21118 (RRP£89.99) £75 Quote

Do you have a link to the offer? Cant seem to find anything on line. Quote
Sprocket77 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) I was in one of the Smyths Stores yesterday and a staff member said that some of the stock was being taken off the shelves for a clearance event next week, I did persuade her to let me have one of the Lonely Mountain's from the back though. They did have a lot of good deals on the shelves and online. This morning all those deals have been taken off the website, so it looks like someone jumped a bit early.

skanks Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 The clearance deals seem to have disappeared from Smyths website. Not surprising I suppose as the click and collect wasn't working anyhow.The Asda offer is annoying as I ordered some items earlier this week.The £10 is deducted as checkout so:Avengers Quinjet £48 (RRP: 69.99)Benny's Spaceship £55 (RRP: 79.99)or 2 x Lego City Train Stations £58 (RRP: £99.98)etc.Some great deals there.

The RRP on the train station is £49.99. Benny's Spaceship has just been reduced to less than that price by Smyths. There will also be better deals on the Quinjet. Quote

feed Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Incidentally Argos have Bennys at £40, they don’t have any stock anywhere near me (East London/Essex) but you may be lucky. Quote
GiliusThunderhead Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Incidentally Argos have Bennys at £40, they don’t have any stock anywhere near me (East London/Essex) but you may be lucky.Unfortunately in the same boat. In west London and nothing here either. I'll keep my eye out though in case anything pops up. Quote

There will also be better deals on the Quinjet.Quick maths lesson...£49.99 x2 = £99.98 I can't see Benny's Spaceship at Smyths or Argos at all, nevermind for the prices mentioned here. Quote

Quote
skanks Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 and I have now found Benny's Spaceship at Argos, but as I cannot find it in stock anywhere in the country it might as well be £5.The Smyths clearance sale looks like it will be on while I am on holiday. Might be a good thing though! Quote
Yellowtot Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 So back from my Smyths trek and talk about random as hell, so I visited like 5 Smyths and this is what I ended up with:5 x Lonely Mountains £50 each5 x Phoenix Temples £50 each2 x Chima Ice Mammoths £30 each9 x Movie melting rooms £5 each14 x Hobbit Witch king battle £5 each (funnily enough another person maybe one of u? had a trolley full of these must of had like 30)4 x Bennys spaceship £50 each3 x Movie dropships £30 eachand last but not least, I was totally amazed to see 6 Movie Castle cavalry (was never interested in this set but not seen them anywhere for the last 6 months) for £10 each!Talk about random. I passed on a load of Ultra Agents stuff at half off, a load of misc Chima stuff at half off and a couple of the mid sized Hobbit sets at half off again.So a good afternoon trip out, and as I expected the are just emptying all there old stock into random stores. So again if you have time it's worth a visit but be quick this stuff is going to go fast! 2 Quote

I went to my local smyths this morning on your advice, the only set they had was benny's spaceship and the ultra agents one. Would have loved to have found some more lonely mountains at £50 though!

feed Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Don’t know how you do it.Nothing in any of the ones near me and this was yesterday afternoon before word got round. Quote
skanks Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I thought the clearance wasn't happening until next week? :-SWill try and get to a store tomorrow. Quote
Yellowtot Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 It's Oldham Smyths for some reason they always have the most random sets left over at that store, it's where I found the lonely mountains and the movie castle cavalry's. Plus they had a load of the ultra agents and tonnes of Chima sets left over. Quote
