Apparently these stores have the BB8's still; Bromley By Bow, South Tottenham & Gallions Reach: https://www.tesco.com/direct/lego-star-wars-bb-8-75187/194-4301.prd?skuId=194-4301

Take it with a pinch of salt.

Bromley 2 in stock, 4 sold yesterday (means they probably don't have them), also 4 AT-M6 sold yesterday.

South Tottenham 2 in stock, also 2 AT-M6

Gallions Reach also 2 of each.

Those two could be worth a dabble. No promises though!

Plenty of these in stores and also not really moving quickly on eBay at least, which is surprising since it’s a nice set with nice minifigures and it was only available in U.K. in SAH and TRU.

I've got people in mind for two of the sets. Shame it looks really nice. Happy to still have them in stock though.

Good thinking... nice to have a possible outlet before you buy. It's also good if you like the set as you will come across some that are hard to shift that you may end up building.

I've just spoken to a friend at Tesco and she's trying to find out if they can do a deal on all the 41175 Lava Dragons that they have left. They are £27.99 and I've offered £18.66 (what I paid during 3-for-2) to clear them all out. Already close to RRP on eBay and easy to ship. They did a deal for me on the Cargo Trains a couple of years ago so I may get lucky. You only have to ask!

Lovely, Lego sending their sale stock in original shippers so mint phantoms.

Online retailers would save themselves a load of work if they left the sets alone in the sodding shipping cartons!

NOT enough for me, I want ALL of them at that price! ;-)

Those were last 2 I could find. 

After 2 days I doubt any stores will have any of these sets left. Either someone has scoured it and taken everything or the staff are buying them. 

In 2 stores when I got some the person helping me put ones aside for himself then and there. Their colleagues took note and probably did the same!

Hmmm.... risking their jobs unless Tesco staff rules are slack.

I can categorically confirm they do not.

i went to all 3 and none had them! Really annoying. galleons reach is the worst offender, it carries a large toy inventory but they never have there mega- deals even if stock tracker says they do. Annoying!

in fairness the staff seemed v helpful and looked out back

Just managed to snag a Kwik-e-Mart from LEGO Shop at Home. In warehouse so looks like I'll get it. 

Let's hope it's intact ;-)

Absolutely gross misconduct. Of course if they had any common sense you would never know about it, they would just leave it in the back and say they couldn't find it, then come back AFTER their shift and get a different member of staff to fetch it for them. Buying stuff out of the back directly is a HUGE no-no.

I have a store near me that's the same. showing stock but no-one can find it. the stock has been showing for at least a week now. It sometimes just depends on who you get to check. I bet some just go for a smoke then come back and tell you they couldn't find them

I think they often don't look properly, but also I was told by staff that often the toys get stolen but because they haven't been sold they perpetually say "in stock". Or they've been sold but the system doesn't update

Didn't know this place existed until my friend called me this morning...
Geoffrey's Bargain Box - TRU clearance outlet in Buena Park.

Hey! That’s not fair. Isn’t that just across the freeway interchange from you?

Seriously though that’s awesome. Might be worth the drive to come check it out.
