    Been to Tesco's Bedworth this morning, very few board games for sale in this store, no Operation/Buckaroo/Twister, etc. Doesn't look like they sell them here!

    Then went to Tesco's Ricoh Arena, Coventry shelves restocked with Buckaroo and Operation so picked up 2 of each to put up for neighbours kids for Christmas. Twister is out of stock according to the SEL. No sign of any others.

    Hi bbford

    Have tried to buy 2 Buckaroo's at Clifton Moor Tesco in York and they were £9.97 each and it only discounted £6.97 so I left them. There were only Operation and Buckaroo in the store.

    Was the BOGOF sign still up? Or did the SEL have them at £6.97? If so, you would have been entitled to R&R.

    There wasn't a BOGOF sticker and the SEL was £9.97 just thought I'd give it a try.

    Looks like this glitch might be coming to an end.
    I took a friend to Baldock today and she bought 1 buckaroo and ! operation and they both came up at 9.97 each with a 9.97 discount.
    No SELs where the games were.

    I think indivdual stores have been fixing this bug as Buckaroo still scanned at £6.97 in more local store this lunchtime and I would guess that the offer still worked.

    So its not a head office price change. Still probably plenty of shops out there that haven't fixed the glitch!
