I forgot to thank you, Richard.
My local Tesco had 6 of the 1857s, so I took 4 of them. (950 pieces for
£7.85 is such good value).
I also noticed that they had 2 of the new road sign sets at £2.49 each, so I
took those too.

The blue Technic motorbike, 8417, was reduced too, from a little over £18 to
around £12, which is a pretty good saving. I didn't weaken, having a very
full basket at the time. :-)

I went to 4 Tescos today, looking for their 99p super bouncing
balls. All sold out!! But, on the offchance, found in two of
them (Amersham, in Bucks, the other in Hayes, opposite the
TRU), these wonderful 1857's! Only 7.85!! I didn't buy any,
however. The one in Amersham had four, the one in Hayes had
7.


As soon as I read that I rushed off to the nearest Tesco superstore and
picked one up, and it's still as great as I remembered... I might pick up
another later in the week, the Cardiff one has three left now.

Has your Tesco got an over-abundance of the Divers 6442 set like mine?
