    Same story in all Scottish stores. Never mind.
    i should have been quicker off the mark.

    There are 2 of the big ones on the shelf (outside) in Stirling.
    If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor...
  • No stock of either in Southport.....:(

    Reserved one in Aylesbury as showing stock but got a phone call saying no stock, maybe when the member of staff goes to do the reservation they see how cheap it is and buy it themselves.

    I reseved at 3 stores near me & within half an hour got a call from all 3 saying oos.
    They all said the reserve is done via head office & takes a day to update.
    For a company like B&Q the reserving system is a disgrace, if argos did this they would be out of business because everyone loses faith.
    Well done to anyone lucky enough to get one ;)

    Got mine from Wigan today! I ordered at 3pm yeaterday, as soon as I'd seen the deal on Hotukdeals. When I got there this morning they said they only had mine as I had ordered first and would have to ring everybody else to say that they were OOS. I'm v pleased
  • I picked up mine today in Galashiels (Scotland). So pleased as it's for my Mum and Dad's Christmas. Thank you OP.

    But even more odd my local one has low stocks as well even though it had nothing last night so I've reserved both. Its supposed to be collect tommorow but I might ring them up when they open and try pestering them :D

    Needless to say none in stock when I rang them despite the sytem showing 4 of one and 2 of the other. So a complete waste of paper and printing ink then ...

    Received a phone call from them to say that as this was a sale item they do not do reserve and collect but they had at least 10 in Newtownabbey store. Went down immediately and got the last smaller one and one of the bigger ones. There were 4 bigger ones left at 2pm but were stacked way above the shelves and had to get a gentleman with a forklift to get one down.

    Another two christmas presents sorted.


    Merry Christmas to all :beer::beer:.

    I got the call saying they were out of stock after I reserved two from a store that said they were in stock on the website. Boo. Good deal if you can get them though.

    If you live near the store it is worth just calling in and getting staff to check if there is any in stock. I only live 15 minutes from the store and have found reserve and collect hopeless yet when I go to the store they have some.
