When I'm rich one day

MilesMorales1

****s sake, I bought the yoshi thing from argos, took it home, the amiibo was in the box, but no game. Gonna have to wring.

Gonna have to wring.........their necks.

That's unusual. Man I'd be p1$$ed off.

MilesMorales1

I'm gonna wring... this towel. To wipe the furious sweat off my brow :pac:


I am annoyed. I called the store several times, didn't get through, called head office, who tried to get me through to the store but they either immediately disconnected or didn't pick up. How annoying.

Sorry to but this here but felt it had to do with a product that was being spoke about. Just for anyone looking to get xenoblade in argos,reserved one and went in yesterday to get one in my local Argos and they said they could not sell it to me, had to go back today for something and saw that they had some to reserve so again I said I would chance it, again could not sell it to me but the girl behind the counter saw that something was wrong dont ask me what but she went and asked someone, they made the product active and she could gave me a copy, just in case someone had the same experience thats what happened to me,

It's Sunday, they're probably working with half the staff, Argos are usually decent to deal with (I find, anyway).

Skylanders Superchargers: Starter Pack With Donkey Kong Amiibo is £21 on Amazon UK

I snagged one of those €20 Donkey Kong's in Argos, but really want that Yoshi budle too if possible - does anyone have the catalogue number for it, or an idea of how to find out if any stores have stock left, without driving around Dublin?

You need to go instore or ring up to get a stock balance.

428/6961 is the catalogue number, but its impossible to see since its gone from the site.

Same thing in my store, girl in there had to ask her manager before she could sell it

Sounds like they got word that the price drop was an error.
Then the staff are instructed to not sell the stock until it's fixed.
But, as you reserved it, you might get a sympathetic ear from the staff, or you might not.
Glad it worked out for you though.

***Warning! Patronizing question incoming!***
Did you buy the Game + small cuddly Amiibo bundle or the Giant Cuddly Amiibo with no game?
'Cause the boxes are roughly the same size and look very similar, and when you do a search for Yoshi on a system where the store doesn't have the Game + Amiibo bundle in stock it finds the Smash amiibo, giant cuddly amiibo and his last 3DS game. .

Sigh. Oh Banjo. I know which one I bought (I'm not really annoyed with you obviously) I bought this one.

Banjo

Ouch! They still have Woolly World in stock in most places (sans amiibo) - you could always ask them to throw a 404/2332 into that empty space...
(I know it was patronizing, but thought it was worth asking to mitigate that worst case scenario where you hop in the car, pay for parking and find out that there wasn't meant to be a game in there in the first place)

MilesMorales1

They wouldn't throw in a replacement of the base game, but I got a hassle free refund. They said the nearest store with it in stock was ashbourne if anyones still looking.

Banjo

I feel really bad now. Not only was I treating you like an idiot but the last copy of the yoshi bundle in Tallaght did have the game in it (but also )

Absolutely. It's easily one of the best games on Wii U. I've put hundreds of hours into it and that was after playing over 1,000 hours on the Wii version.

Awesome thank you

Banjo

Is there still a Demo for MH3? It's a great game but it's not for everyone - especially the first 2 hours or so of fetch quests (and skippable dialog that maybe you should have read unless you already know that you have to go spear 2 fish at the other end of the map, and don't want to spend the next 3 hours wandering around aimlessly wondering why there are no monsters in Monster Hunter). I'd look at the cancellation policy on Shopto, order it, then look into whether or not this game is for you.

Allyall

Bayonetta 2 is on Shopto for £9.85 also on Backorder

I think a few are (me too)

Wii play U is in Toys 'r' Us for €14.99

They removed the Irish website over the past few days though. I thought they were updating, but it has been redirected to the UK one.

Mr E

Toys'r'us have just announced that they're closing their Limerick store (I think they only opened in November too). Awful for the poor staff...

Maybe they're pulling out of Ireland completely?

I didn't know we had toy r us in Ireland, I thought it was only up the north.

What, all 2 stores? Yes I feel bad for the staff but it's 22 jobs. I didn't even know they were here until that p1ss poor TV3 rip-off of The Late Late Toy Show was on last Christmas.


When you read this, it's all so shoddy.
