Argos Deals & Offers

Photo from John Lewis website. Looks a decent size.

Thank you. I think Argos have the title wrong so I've updated. Having zoomed in it says "1 SET" on the box.

These modern Meccano sets use really small scale parts so they're tiny, not like proper Meccano (if they still sell it).

I think this has appeared here before. It was set number 5 rather than being a set of 5.

None round Manchester. There is one on Amazon for roughly the same price.

The poles in this tent would last around 5 mins in a few places I know of around Scotland. Don't know how many vango tents I seen over the last couple of years destroyed in moderate wind. Why they insist on putting those thin fibre glass poles in a high tent is mental. Probably worth the price though over the usual Tesco and Halfords offerings.

The only problem I have with tents like this is the front groundsheet is not sewn in. So the wind and rain can get in to that part of the tent. and if you're on uneven ground the rain can pool in that area.

home delivery was available when I just checked. Only need it for myself so might be a bit big. Want something that's very easy to put up / take down for a couple of nights at a time. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks.

Standard for Argos....I don't even bother searching their deals anymore

I have bought that one when it was like £3 or something. Have been travelling a lot (flying as well) and Switch was in the suitcase all the time, case stil looks like brand new and nothing happened to Switch. Great stuff (y)

I can put my switch in my bag without case, it's fine

This has regularly been this price but without the P&P. Decent little case. I believe it only stores 4 games though

Been posted a few times, surprised if any stock left.

Voted cold, not the Zelda game disguised as a travel case 😁

Bargain. Brought some cheap pads from Halford and used collinite wax for it. Took less than 15 minutes obviously it's a small car too which helps.

Thanks for this mate, really helpful (y) 🏾

Not in stock in South Wales 😔

Nice Beetle that, I'm sure it'll come up great (strong)

Its not so much that its thin, its normally just soft paint on them in general, German cars seem to have the better more harder to work paint on them. I actually love Honda paint, it makes my job a hell of a lot easier XD I was really tempted to get another Fn2 or Ep3 in Nighthawk black just to tidy the paint up, I would happily do either car any day of the week. Another lad round my estate has an Fn2 same colour as mine but the paint is shocking, I would offer to do it but dont want him thinking I'm rubbing it in saying his paint could look like mine.

Just download a small utility for controller calibration it's in the Microsoft store. It does ps and xbox controllers

Cheers pal, appreciate it.

Agreed! I got one in a "deal" for around £16 last year. If you move it a bit it gets disconnected and you can't use any other wires to replace the one that come with it.

No mate

Can confirm that the Power A enhanced wired switch controller works fine on pc so probably the same for those. Rumble can be a bit finnicky though on pads so that might not work.

It's a great deal, even if it was only for 6TB of cloud storage for a whole year. I bought the full price subscription from Microsoft just a few days ago. Then after seeing this deal, asked if Microsoft would match it and return the difference. They didn't. So I asked for a full refund from Microsoft, ordered this to my local argos (no delivery fee). And will be collecting it from there on Saturday. Thanks OP

I was more thinking about the people who would download from a warez site and think they were getting a good deal

The big value in this deal is the 1 TB storage. Excellent for backing up all the things on the cheap.

yep I see your point and we all have the right to make one . Personally i like 365 . it gives me up to date MS apps which used to cost me £100's unless i bought pirated software - the good deal with 365 is the number of users, both my son and wife use it and also the cloud storage which when compared to Dropbox is a great deal. I just go my Dropbox renewal which is $119 so 365 is a bargain. Im gradually moving 10 years worth of work data off Dropbox to 365 as 365 is a better deal for me. I used to hate MS and their pricing policy but it has got better with the added value of data storage and regular updates etc - cheers

It already is. Im not sure if they got it out faster than planned due to CV19 and Zoom taking off so well.

As, that's a pity they only had kids sizes, I thought I had found the perfect gift for a friend's 50th, they old dinosaur that he is hehe

‘Slippers fit kids size 12-3’ So if your kid has feet which are between size 12-3, they’ll fit. Pretty self explanatory

Bit confused by the size, does it mean Age 12, Size 3?

Halfords regularly do offers on the tool range. Lifetime guarantee. Proves that old saying. "Buy cheap,buy twice"

Better off getting a good make socket set with all the bits and ratchet handles. My old Aldi Work Zone one is still going strong and used for e.g. putting anchor screws in concrete.

Heat for the quantity, but you would be much better off getting 3 or 4 quality screwdrivers - they'll last AND do a better job. You can always add to a good Bosch Pro / Snap On set

Is this any good ans does anyone know what the difference is between this and the laser renew version.

Delivery is included in the overall price, until further notice from HUKD admin team ,Joetopps. Thanks for the spot however (y) The OP indicates the price reduction.

Prices in the title are wrong, should be reduced from £17.99 to £8.99 Heat added

You can actually open up a SNAD case as it's NOT as described. You keep the set (if it ever arrives) and a refund.

At least you won't get a bashed up box covered in stickers like Argos!

Since it was only bought today, the seller will likely cancel the sale as "error in the listing" or something like that. It's only a deal if you physically get it at that price, I hope you do ;-)

Good to know...think I might play the "Father's day" Card and get my first set next month. It should give him enough time to get used to it hopefully. :)

Not the best time for my lego obsession to return. ;( First the Nissan and now this!

Get battery and don't have to worry about fuel

This is okay for the first round But taps out after that (fierce)

Yes true but for £30 not to worried as I will only use it 2/3 times a year

Challenge only gives you 1 year warranty

Think Ive found for myself the one you were referring to - https://www.argos.co.uk/product/6162416

That's what it's all about, consider all the info out there and make your own choices. I will add Keter make some very good products and some very poor ones which is why you do all the research before buying, price level isn't a good indicator either. You've obviously been unlucky and bought the poor ones. These particular boxes, the Toomax and the Keter, are only £20 and you can't expect too much for that kind of money nowadays unfortunately but bought with that in mind and a use that won't put them under to much stress they could serve someone well. I compared all these type boxes a few weeks ago as I just wanted something cheap to keep the outdoor cushions in so went in with my eyes open. Unfortunately, the one thing I didn't consider was how big my cushions were, thought they were 40x40 not 50x50, and just before putting my money where my mouth was I realised I'd just about get two in one of them, none at all in the Toomax which I'd discounted already for reasons I've already stated, so went back to the drawing board which is a shame as they are also one of the few still readily available.

I find it hard to believe it's possible to buy anything substantially worse than Keter. They are absolute junk, destined for landfill after the first gentle gust of wind. I bought 4 of their long storage box once and within 3 months not one was intact. They are inadequately packaged for shipping so a fair proportion end up in bits before being built. Hinges are very weak and the rigidity is awful. If you dont put something in top, the lids blow off all the time and if you do, they deform like chocolate left in the sun. They are extremely brittle so crack easily and are always coming apart. I wouldnt waste a pound on anything keter ever again so my thought on this deal were along the lines of it's not keter so might be worth a look

Thanks, I was just thinking out loud. In my head it's the hatch from Lost. In reality, its a bucket full of mud in the ground. (lol)

Just put mine together today, dont do what I did and forget to put the base in before putting the 4th side in, it's a PITA to remove. Looks good and put a cushion in the top for the cat.

Yes If you put a water proof layer between the ground and this it should be ok. Otherwise it will be full of water and mud. I don’t think silicon will cut it long term, it needs to be a thick plastic sheet like they use for waterproofing flooring.

They also have the 911 available (y)

I think the exact frequency is pot luck unless you could get someone in Argos to find 2 different ones. All radio controlled models work on 27MHz it is the bit above that which is important e.g. 27.145Mhz or 27.280MHz. There is usually a sticker on the box giving the exact frequency. It is not worth asking Argos because they just say all of them are 27MHz.

Do you need bitcoin to purchase?

1:24 is bigger. My understanding is the : effectively means divided by. So 1:2 (1 divided by 2) is half the size of the full sized car. 1:20 (1 divided by 20) is a twentieth of the full sized car. So the full sized car is 24 times bigger than this model. I'm not sure how they deal with frequencies. Just been reading a bit and two cars may interfere but it says in the info above "27MHz frequency - race multiple RC toys in the same area at the same time.", so maybe it's ok.

How much to lease over 2 years?

£37.99, even better

100% sounds like a sex toy

Picked up mine for around £20 preowned to try some flight sims in vr, done its job but I think I need to upgrade if I plan on getting into all the weapon systems in DCS, luckily I'm just flying for fun in a stunt plane most the time.

The original price in the deal was like £3 that's what I was referring to

The price is including delivery

Barely any in stock at the reduced price, which appears to be the "new" price.
