I picked up a copy of the Argos 'Stop Press Savings' leaflet from the shop
in Winchester today..

It has the following :

6977 Insectoid Arachno base  £23.95 (was £47.95)
8462 Recovery truck £32.45 (was £64.95)
6580 Fireball £3.90 (was £7.85)

When I typed in the stock numbers of 6977 and 6580 into the blue stock
checker thingy, both said 'no such item'. The 8462 was 'out of stock'. Tsk.

Interesting that my leaflet was different from Jonathon's

I looked in at Argos yesterday and picked up a "Stop Press Savings"
catalogue.
2 Lego items were on sale:

8462 Recovery truck             reduced from 64.95 to 44.95  (enough of a
saving for me to weaken and buy one)
6977 Insectoids Arachno base    reduced from 47.95 to 34.95  (still not
interested - well slightly, but they were out of stock in Bath anyway)

On my return from a skiing trip, I found this later catalogue, which showed the even greater reductions that you saw. Oh well, 8462 was out of stock at £32.45 when I recently tried Argos, so if I'd waited I might have missed out. Jonathon Col wrote (...) (26 years ago, 21-Feb-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
