James Bond 007 spy card collection loophole

Hi

I think I have posted this in the right place, only ever posted on the freebies board.

I picked up a copy of the new James Bond magazine thats advertised on the tv today and noticed that on the first magazine you get two packets of cards, the magazine and an invisable ink writer pen for £1.50.

The cards on their own are £1.50 to buy separately so it would make sense to purchase more than one of the the starter magazines at £1.50 and get 2 packets of cards instead of 1 & even get some replacement pens!

Works out as BOGOF really. :o

  • good idea but be careful some magazines select the first packs so they may all have the same cards in, buy 2 open them up and if they are different then go crazy! (if spending on these things is your thing!) wasta of money imho! good post though op

    Thought that too, bought 2 today and all cards were different so great stuff. I agree personally they are a waste of money but my lad been poorly since Xmas Eve and asked if he could have it and when you see your little one really down you can't help but want to cheer him up. With that said, he absolutely loved it and had great fun writing secret notes with his sister! :o
