Anyone seen any Bionicals on offer? My nephew is saving up to get one.

I thought Bionicles had been discontinued and replaced by Hero Factory?? Maybe I'm wrong though ...

I just typed a long rant about the £5 voucher on £30 spend on Lego at Argos and then my iPod crashes...

Anyway, it's apparently only on the new lines, not clearance (eg unimog), according to one store manager who was really rude and dismissive about giving the voucher, although I did finally get it sorted. So if you do get fobbed off, be polite, ask to see where in the t's and c's it states not on clearance lines, and if you still have no luck, give the head office a call once you get home and complain.

I think its reffering to the spend £30 on lego products/clothing in argos and get a free £5 voucher to spend in store. HTH

Ooops, left out a couple of important bits (rewrote a shortened version in a hurry after the iPod crashed) - it's the deal on at Argos.

Out of interest and curiosity, has anyone a link to the conditions of the offer? I looked for them online yesterday and in the store before I had problems, but couldn't see any. And the manager couldn't provide them either.

Seems like the only t&cs are at the bottom of the page: *Subject to availability. Offer ends 21/02/2012.

Nothing at all about how it isnt redeemable on clearance lego etc

That's all I found too.

Anyway, does anyone have the unimog and can confirm the number of packets in the box. Mine has an opened for Argos quality control sticker on it, and as I'm storing it for when my son is older, I want to know if it's all there.

I've got;
1 stamped bags x7
2 stamped bags x5
3 stamped bags x1
4 stamped bags x3
4 tyres
4 wheels
Part 4581712
Part 4581862
Pack of hoses
5 manuals
Sticker sheets x3

Thanks

We had trouble getting the voucher too, but eventually got it! First the assistant said as it hadn't printed out it must meant it wasn't valid on that item, first she said because it was only on items in the catalogue, then she said it could be because the item is adult lego instead of kids lego?! We said the offer stated nothing like that and asked her to check with the manager and he said it was fine and it should have printed one but hadn't, so he sorted out a voucher for us! So definitely worth standing your ground until they give you the voucher!!

The Lego City passenger train is £74.99 at Argos which is the cheapest I have found, although stock seems to be limited. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3882847.htm
The £5 voucher for spending £30 on Lego didn't work automatically, but they gave me a £5 giftcard when I questioned it.
