Taiyo Edge hovercraft

posted by [personal profile] oldbloke at 03:16pm on 14/04/2006
Argos used to have these radio-controlled hovercraft at some crazy price like 70 quid.
But now they're end-of-line and can be had for 17.50.
IF you can find an Argos with any stock left.
None near me. Anybody able to find one? I want one!

That just gets me the page with all the hovers on. The one I want is the bottom one, cat 370/9092.
If you can get one, grab it and we'll sort out the handover later.

Woops, sorry.

Premature posting.

I'm into HW tomorrow to buy as many as I can.

Where from? The 12 Argos stores closest to you don't have any. Think how disappointed your daughter will be when you get home without one. I expected it, of course.

Sorry Oldbloke. I've just checked and every Argos in Belfast and Co. Antrim that I can get to is out of stock.

Is that radio-controlled hovercraft full of eels?

Everywhere I can get to in the south and mid Wales region and Oxford is OUT OF STOCK.

However, a quick google shows that you can get it from the States - I have no idea what the exchange rate is at the moment, which is a strange feeling for me - but I reckon it's about 1.7 -

I was gonna say I'd have to be mad to get one from the US when ebay has them, or very near equivs, all the time, and then I read the_muusters comment just before I opened the reply window

Hmm. We ought to be able to form a chain of people and pass it along without too much trouble. The cash would be better direct though. Got PayPal?

We both do. I've talked to M as she and The Boy are out shopping. They're on their way back and we're going to head up.

Good excuse to visit Sunny Wolverhampton... ;¬)

Failing easy build of a chain, we're going Dahn Sahf in June and could drop by on the way or the way back (and admire your DIY).
Or, weigh it and see what the postage is and we'll do that - at the knock-down 17.50 it'll still be cheaper than the smaller nastier hovers after 7 quid's worth of stamps has been stuck on it.

The device is in our possession. Unless you meet our demands, we will remove a small but important piece at Noon every day from now on... ;¬)

Since it's kinda for my birthday, I don't think I can stand to wait until we drive by later in the year. Let's throw caution to the winds and put our trust in the Royal Mail. Let me know the final total.
