Where is the cheapest Top Gear V8 Pencil Sharpener?

8yr old has set his heart on one, and they're about £8 full price, but they must be in a sale somewhere - so has anyone seen them on their travels?

    I haven't seen any reduced, but Maplin has them at £4.99 and in stock.

    Thanks - just got one from La Redoute - they're £4.50 on there but the p&p wiped out any saving - found a working 25% and free delivery code, and the 3for2 offer is still being applied, so got 3 delivered for £6.75 - cue one happy son, and 2 school-friend pressies/fillers sorted at the same time :T

    I'm impressed. I obviously need more practice.:o

  • Hi there.

    I bought one this afternoon in Sainsbury's (Boscombe, Bournemouth branch) for £3.50. They had lots, so I guess one of your local branches will have them. Lots of other bargains too.

    Happy shopping!
  • Hi, I got one for Christmas and boy what a waste of money that was. I guess if its reduced enough worth a go but the internal battery compartment is extreamly tight so you can hardly get the things out again and the contacts inside broke off, so not impressed
