Hogwarts Castle

[sherrardk]

I know I shouldn't have posted this here but more people seem to visit here than 'shopping'. As usual I have left my Christmas shopping till the last minute but I am having real problems tracking down the Lego Hogwarts Castle (I can get if for double the price on Amazon). If anyone knows of any good toy shops in their area or would be able to look at the Argos site for their area and let me know if there are any Hogwarts Castles about I would be really grateful. (PS - he won't be totally gutted if he doesn't get it as his birthday is mid-January so he can have it then.) Thanks in advance.

There's 2 in Aberystwyth's Argos store

[NazNomad]

Pick up only though

[sherrardk]

Hi Naz - it's telling me that it is out of stock.

[Francis Asis]

Both stores in Swindon have it but pick up only.

[sherrardk]

Hi Naz - willing to drive to get it, but it says it is out of stock.

[DTCwordfan]

tried an overseas source? With Fedex or DHL, probably cheaper than driving over to Aberystwyth or Swindon........and convenient.

Or Denmark?

[sherrardk]

No joy so far - as soon as you try to reserve one, it tells you it is out of stock.

[Francis Asis]

Cribbs Causeway and Portishead also both have it for pick up

[sherrardk]

Hi all - thanks for trying, but every time I try to reserve it it then tells me that it is out of stock.

[Francis Asis]

Have you tried Ebay?

[sherrardk]

Hi Francis Assis - bidding starts at about £189 (and it is just under £100 in the shops - if you can find one!).

[Francis Asis]

Aww, just a thought

[NazNomad]

Sorry, was watching telly ... just been on there

If this is the correct item ...

LEGO® Harry Potter Hogwarts. 390/4608

... there's one reserved at Aberystwyth ... Reservation number:227642

[NazNomad]

£22.49 ... I hope it's the right one, and I haven't ballsed-up, lol

[sherrardk]

Naz - I think I love you (my eyes are melting from searing the net). xxx

[DTCwordfan]

what a nice person you are Naz, and I am not being facetious......

[sherrardk]

Sorry Naz - proclaimed my love too quickly - this one is about £99.99 at Argos. Thanks for trying though.

[DTCwordfan]

just direct your melting tears at the snow somewhere in N.Britain, sherrardk, and we will all benefit!

I do agree though.....

[DTCwordfan]

just like education fees, the welsh £ is now worth more than their english counterpart......by nearly 5 to 1 obviously.

[NazNomad]

Ah, the I got the wrong item :-(

All others are saying "Order into store to collect Mon 13th - Thur 16th December"
