    Yes last year it changed at midnight.

    The site did crash from 2:20am until 4:17am. Random info there for you!

    This year there will be much, much more traffic to their site though, so i expect an earlier crash that that.

    last year i stayed up and the prices changed some time between 2 and 3 i say that coz i fell asleep and when i woke at about 3am the prices had changed lol

    On the posts from last year people were saying the sale started at a minute past 12. If I have to sit up half the night I'll be tearing my hair out - just like that skeletal Boots woman I had to stare at for 6 hours for that hatbox thingy. PJs, blanket and clean teeth while I sit here tomorrow waiting then. It's not even my shopping either. My Grandma can't get out and has given me money to do hers so I hope I get a cup of tea and a cuddle for it.

    Someone said earlier that they're cancelling huge orders in case of resellers so be careful

    Help advice please, have just checked my basket and one toy out of all in basket has suddenly had a price drop, it is now 40% cheaper than it was last night, the reduction does not look like a Sale price as such. So should I empty rest of basket and purchase this for click and collect now ? or should I simply wait until the proper rollover tonight/tomorrow and hope it does not go OOS due to its good price ?

    Actually just looked again and this item does not have click and collect option for me so guess will just have to wait until Sale proper starts. It is the Lego Minotaurus Game and last pm it was in basket at £16.99 this morning it is £10.10 so about 40% off, I wonder if Sainsbury's tested system early this morning and this item is a glitch ? It might be worth if anyone actually in a Sainsburys and want this item to have it scanned to see if it is also at lower price, I worked it out to be about a 40 % saving, still significantly cheaper than anywhere else.
    Just because your paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you ! :rotfl:
  • not sure if i am just lucky but everything that had gone oos from my basket seems to be back in stock now, thought it was worth a mention so people can have a look at their own oos toys:)
