Hi all,
my younger son will be 7 in April and wants some HM Armed Forces figures (preferably the talking ones) but they are SO expensive! Even on eBay and Amazon they are about £20 per figure!

Any idea where i can get them cheaper?

Comments

  • £19.99 is the RRP for the figures and everywhere that I could find that had stock was asking for that.

    Does it have to be the talking figures as the normal ones are £5-£10 cheaper each?

    If you use Quidco/TCB, there's 7% cashback if you go direct to manufacturers website, Character.

    Not that it's much help to you, but I always managed to buy my sons figures when Tesco and/or Argos had 2for1 or 50% off offers.
    Dave. :wave:

    Thanks PFF- i think i'll ask my mum to get them for him, hehehehe!!
  • Might be worth having a look in B&M Bargains if you have one near you.

    Find your nearest B&M store

    Might be a bit hit and miss though as they were selling HM Armed Forces figures back in November. It was a Manager Special and were selling them for £6.99. They had Infantryman, Royal Marines Commando & RAF Parachutist apparently. Even if you can't get them for this price they might have them for less then what you've quoted [if they have any in].

    Thanks Lugh but we are in the south west so dont have any B&Ms near us.
  • Same here though not west, east.

    Saw this on another website and thought I'd point this out as you'd never know.
