Roboraptor offers (merged)

Has anyone else seen the Roboraptor priced up at Tesco's for this?

Was in there earlier and couldn't believe it. The lowest I have seen it elsewhere is about £78.00

I gave it a thorough going over, was it a similar toy - NO, was it the mini roboraptor - NO.

This was at Tesco Extra in Cardiff, are they the same elsewhere?

    Same at tesco Middlebrook. There were dozens of them on a pallet in the middle of the first aisle. Same price, but I didn't know if that was good or not, because I don't even know what one is!!

    If you remember the Robosapien Robot from last year. This is from the same company, there is also a Dog that is cheaper and some smaller versions.

    Anyone seen the Robosapien version2 for less than 200 quid?

    They Know That People Will Buy Other Things When There And Sell As A Loss Leader But The Littl Eguy ( Basically The Main Importer And Compared To Tescos Is A Little Guy) Has Said To Tescos You Cannot Sell At This Price As It Is Unfair To Others And Tescos Said Tough So He Has Said I Will No Longer Supply You Then As It Is Unethical To Smaller Companies

    you can preorder the robosapien v2 with freemans who are selling it for £219.99 but with 20%off your first order this makes it £175.99 and free delivery

    Thanks for the Robosapien v2 price.

    The Tesco price is actually £59.97, checked it out today whilst picking up a raptor for someone else.
  • I've just picked mine up for number one son for christmas at TOTON tesco extra store (on the outskirts of nottingham). Wasnt too sure about getting one for £85, but £60 seems a bit more palatable.

    also (for the true moneysaver) - pay with your goldfish card to get their points for argos vouchers and pick up your clubcard points for tesco vouchers AND get a 5p off a litre of fuel voucher too, the EXTRA stores usually have a petrol station too so go with an empty tank - i saved £2.00 on my fill up

    They're flying out of the door though so be quick.
    (No, they're not pterodactyls) - Ho Ho Ho.
    Thanks wayne

    Just curious here, but why do you start each word with a capital letter? I've seen one or two other people do it and I've always wondered why :confused:

    Surely that's more effort to have to keep messing with the shift key for every word! ;)

    Oh I Yes I Have Just Noticed That As Well, Weird Isn't It.

    Would seem so, just picked one up in South Yorkshire. So, a VERY big thankyou!! My 5 year old is desperate for one of these for Christmas, so his wish has just come true. Thankyou! xxx

    Don't spend five pounds to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the charity shop instead. They'll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for two pounds.
