[Netherlands] Toys XL Black Friday

[keverjeroen]

For all the Dutch people, this friday it's 'get 3, pay 2' at Toys XL.

 

You can read all about it here: http://www.toysxl.nl/toys-xl-home/black-friday

 

Offcourse, this is not the US, so read all the terms and conditions!

No buy 2 Star destroyers, get 1 extra for free.

That's gonna be a puzzle to buy different same-price investment-worthy models.

Thanks for posting!

Yes it does take some figuring out which three sets to combine to capatilise optimally.

Carrefour Belgium has a 'buy three get the cheapest for free' promo this week. They're selling the Coast Guard Patrol for

Guys, I did a little comparison to determine what may be good sets to pick up at Toys XL.

 

These are only the sets they price at 89,99 or more. May continue further down if I feel like it. Of course you would have to be fortunate enough to see the item in store.

 

Now the 3 for 2 deal comes down to potentially a 33% discount (assuming all three are the same price). I think you'll find it's probably pretty hard to find sets you'll all want in the same store but you never know. When Toys XL price is more than 150% the price of an alternative a 33% discount would still not be make them cheapest.

 

Hope this is of use!

Wow! That's a great list Bernard!

 

I know that the Toys XL in The Wall in Utrecht has a big Lego department, that may be the best place to go friday..

Thanks! 

 

Yes the Utrecht store has a good collection. I sometimes go there because I'm in Utrecht a few times a month for work. Regular day at the office tomorrow though, so will only have a peek at my local store in the Hague.

I live 10 minutes away from the Utrecht store, but looking at your list I am not sure it is worth the 10 minute ride. Prices are really high at Toys XL. I think I keep an eye on Amazon.co.uk tomorow at black friday.

Great job on the Excel file. The high prices aren't very appealing though. And the fact that you can't buy 2 of the same sets is pretty frustrating.

I might go back to Carrefour tomorrow and get 3 Cargo Terminals.

Why wait until tomorrow? The Black Friday deals started Monday. And keep an eye on .fr .de .it and .es as well!

Thank's for sharing this valuable infoemation regarding the dutch people and the toy's. But why it's happen ?

[Bernard74]

Don't know what you mean with "why it's happen"?

 

Anyway, dropped by the ToysXL store today but in the end didn't buy anything. Just couldn't find three sets in the same price range that I really wanted.

 

Besides, already spent a fair amount on Lego this month anyway (I'm looking at you, architecture studio).

 

Any of you find a good deal?
