Not sure if this is store specific but my Boots store had a ton of toys including Lego in the clearance section, most was half off but this is the good bit......when you went to tills most were half off again!

Has to be toys with clearance sticker and not all of them are going half off again, need to price check. They do still have half price toys, these are not included ONLY CLEARANCE sticker stock!

I picked up these, this is the price on my receipt:
Playdough bucket £3.32
Thomas Alarm Clock £3.06
Mini Thomas Aquadraw mats £1.85
ELC Fairy Toadstool car £1.27
Charlie & Lola mini library book set £1.25
Lego Echo Base £5.60
Playdough burger builder £3.82
Leapfrog fridge phonics £3.82

    It basically equates to 75% off as it is half the full price then half the sale price! The sticker says Clearance on it and they are hand written with the price, you only find out if they are reduced further if you take them to the till and they price check them!
    Some other Boots stores may just have them reduced by the 75% on the sticker already, I really do not know.

    I also asked the sales assistant if she knew if they were doing the 75% sale and if so when, she told me they are never told until the day it starts!
  • Great deal on the Lego in particular!
  • Lots of toys including lego and peppa pig stuff in Hamilton Boots beside Next
  • I got this for £3.75 in the toy clearance section today

    It's £15.32 on the website (with the new VAT rate applied), so more than 75% off :T

    Hi, i went to boots at eastville centre (bristol) this morning and they had a few bits marked as clearance with hand written labels but "only" half price, i asked sales assistant to check price for me and went through at full price!
    I was then at broadmead boots and they had a few things at proper clearance prices
    Eg charlie and lola fuzzy felt for £2.50, dora aquadraw sheets £1.82, hungry caterpillar colour in fabric book £3 as well as some baby soft/interactive toys. No lego in the clearance yet...
