Tarantula Water Guns - £7.99 plus P&P!!

Hi guys,
I have just received 2x Tarantula water guns for my boys from Maplins.
They retail at around £19.99 each but Maplin have them for just £7.99 + postage.
I was just about to buy them from firebox using the £5 off voucher but that would still have cost me £35. I got 2 delivered for a total of £18.96!
They come with rechargeable battery packs which last 1-2 hours and save you having to pump up the air pressure. They work really well and hold just over 1.5 litres of water. Any more and they would be just too heavy.
The kids couldn't wait and are out in the rain now playing them having the
time of their lives.
Ordered at 5.30pm yesterday with standard delivery and they came today!
Hope your kids have as much fun as mine.
