Most Expensive Christmas Toy...Cheapest Price?

PlaySkool's Kota Triceratops - after seeing this baby dinosaur in my local ToysRUs, I just have to have it. Despite the credit crunch, I don't feel xmas is a time to skimp but that doesn't mean I can't shop around.. :beer:

So far the cheapest price i've found is 225 quid from Argos! :eek:
Does anyone know anywhere cheaper?

  • I think that will be the best price you will be able to get it for...I have looked and the next cheapest I have found is £235....

    Just seen Amazon.co.uk have also got it for £224.99 with free P&P.
  • If you decided to buy this today you could use the Argos £20 off a £100 spend (on toys only) code (on vouchers board and also Argos board), making it £205 (plus postage) - the cheapest I could see was £224.99.

    ...thanks didn't think of that. Only problem with Argos is the delivery cost, my local store didn't have any in-stock. I seen the "half-price" Tesco Toys TV adverts at the weekend yet their price is £299! :mad:

  • i'm not a member of costco ..maybe worth joinin to save £25!
    has anyone else seen the toy in costco?
  • Even with the delivery (£5.95), it'd come out as £210.94 using the £20 off code.

    Hopefully someone can confirm a <£200 Costco sighting though!

    Free Delivery on orders over £75 use code EFD10 it was in the email with the offers of £20 off when you spend £100 on toys. But only valid until 11/11/2008
  • Saw this in Debenhams last week. Its massive! What will you do with it when its not playing with anymore? LOL.
