  • I spent last night trawlling through the list and reserving items and today managed to get

    3723188 Tyco R/C vertigo which includes free hot wheels racing track and a hot wheels fireball - fantastic value for £29.99
    1051838 King Size Duvet Cover pack of two for £14.99
    2696814 3D Snowman Twig - which looks so much better than it sounds £9.99

    I also had the outdoor projector reserved but it magically disappeared from the shop this morning :rolleyes:

    So many thanks to you all for your efforts and roll on Christmas 2006 so i can get my snowman outside my house :xmassmile

    I managed to get one of the 5ft Santa's today and it's the only one anywhere around here...but it's got the wrong AC adaptor in it.There's a 2 pin in there which i assume is European:(
    Does anyone know what's the best thing to do now as i don't want to give it back and as i said there aren't any more around here.Do you think if i called Argos they would send out the right adaptor or even if i called the people that provide them to Argos which is based in Essex same as me they might send the right one?

    Or can you buy them in Homebase/B&Q?
    If anyone has got one and can tell me or provide me with a link to the correct one to buy then that would be great:)

    Many thanks

    No it's the same black adaptor you get here but it has 2 slim flat pins quite close together with holes towards the top of them.That's what makes me assume it's European.If it helps i could take a picture?

    Oh and the other thing is it says Model JOD-48U-42
    Input AC 120v
    Output DC 9v

    So that's European isn't it?

    You shouldn't need to buy anything. Contact Argos or the manufacturer, the manufacturer will probably be more helpful as Argos will just think "We can give you a refund".

    Even better, get Argos to phone the manufacturer on their phone bill :D
