    Oh no! I am worried now! Lol! What happened if you don't mind me asking? After i've paid at the machines don't i just go and collect them at the desk? I guess there a chance the staff will see the £0.01p on the receipt?

    Glitch on skateboards was 2 for £2.50, most stores honoured them but a few pig ignorant managers were very rude to customers (myself included). A complaint got me nowhere, but others did get the deal honoured. I went back in the next day and paid at machine, which showed them as £5.50 for 2 , which was still a really good deal!
    Anyway, when you go to machine, it doesn't always seem to show right price. Take a print out of your confirmation with £5 total on it. If machine is showing more, you will have to go to desk, they usually honour it, esp when you show them print out. I'm going today to get it over with! i'm sure it will be fine!:o

    not glad to see :D but happy to know i wasnt the only one with a pig ignorant masnager(x2 stores for me) that was unable to get the skateboard glitch . however wife just picked these up and after a bit of umming and arrring they gave for the reserved price but be warned they kept a copy of the email printout so they could try to rectify at ho, as they said they had a huge problem recently with skateboard glitch:rotfl: so if you are getting these then be quick before they say it has been noticed and no longer available at the resrved price due to pricing error, which is the line i got when trying to get skateboards.
    My poor 15 yr old daughter broke her wrist i 5:eek: places tonight poor little mite was screaming in agony, all casted temp now and fingers crossed no surgery needed to fix.
    get well soon honey .

    Tried the doll and hot wheels combo, same story. I did not dare go to checkout, store really busy. Hope others have better luck than me, great glitch had it worked for me!!!!
