Carrera le Mans Race Set. (371/9123) 29.99 punds stirling.
It was mentioned in SF before Christmas. Thought that not all might have realized but there are still quite a few sets around. You might need to 'shop' around to find an argos store that has some left - but with a little patience - and some help using the online shopping system - you will find them, but you might have to be a little of a detective and not give up straight away. Also if there is no set in your where abouts then you might check out places where your mates live - that should sort things out.
For those of you that do not know about the limitations of the argos online system. It will not check if the product is in more than one store at a time. You have to do that manually. Also it is such a stupid system that if you for example want to buy two sets and the shop only has one in the warehouse the system WILL say that they are out of stock (e.g. it will not inform you that they actually have one set available). This is how you can find these sets:
1) you search for the carrera le mans set and put it in your virtual shopping trolley.
2) choose the 'pick up in store' option.
3) put in a city or postcode
4) if it says 'out of stock' try one alternative shop.
5) repeat 4 until you find a shop that has it
6) do not forget to 'book' the product, and get the adress and directions as well!
good hunting!
just came home with another couple of sets the other day... - my home is becoming box central now my girlfriend says...
... oh I'll sneak some up in the attic tomorrow...
apologize that this is a UK only thing though...
