Yeah, so as has been mentioned upthread - we're doing BOGOF in all of our stores - it was as much of a surprise to us as it was to you, trust me. It's on everything we sell, everything, so make the most of it while it's there. We don't know when it's ending, just like we don't know if we'll even still be open in a couple of weeks as the COVID-19 situation develops. EDIT: Just to be clear, we'd only be shutting temporarily, not forever. I've since opened my £20 Retrofest Honky but still have the receipt from 6 days ago. What are the odds that I can get the difference back, or at least take something in the BOGOF offer? Just ever so slightly annoyed here. It'll be at the discretion of the manager of the store you bought it from.

HTM, Lars Sulivan basic and Dath Vader & Kylo Ren Funko Pops BOGOF £25. Decent. Thanks for the heads up on the offer.

Just bought a MOC Elite 68 King Mabel for £5... it got cancelled two minutes later. I was wondering how long it would take, worth a punt just in case.

It's been relisted at £35, guy made a typo in his listing. Worth a chance anyway though, imagine if that'd came through for a fiver though.

I've done that on ebay before. I meant to list an elite Hogan for £22 and accidentally went on for £2. I did honour sale like an idiot though

I did honour sale like an idiot though I have to be honest, if I'd done that I'd have probably honoured it as it was me that messed up. I totally understand why it was cancelled but I figured it was worth a shot.

I've since opened my £20 Retrofest Honky but still have the receipt from 6 days ago. What are the odds that I can get the difference back, or at least take something in the BOGOF offer? Just ever so slightly annoyed here. It'll be at the discretion of the manager of the store you bought it from. My initial inquiry was shot down but I've completely outfoxed them just now. Yesterday a woman said that they couldn't do anything because I "had opened it." I quickly latched onto this key phrase. After popping elsewhere I devised a plan and returned to buy an elite Samoa Joe for £14, plus a free Honky Tonk Man. I still had the original receipt so today I took that and the second unopened Honky into the store. The guy got the same woman to come and confirm it and she was like "didn't you say you had opened it?" Looks pretty sealed and intact to me. "No, I had gotten one for a friend and he opened his." Pretty sure she realised my ruse but there wasn't a thing she could do because I had everything I needed and everything matched up. Got my £20 back and still have the new Honky and Joe at home. In the past I probably would've just let the whole thing go and chalk it up to misfortune but I was highly annoyed that they put Honky out for £20 for like a couple of days before dropping it. With no price tag on the shelf either I might add.

Glad you got it sorted - but I'm disappointed that this woman treated you like that, one of the first things we were trained on was going out of your way to solve any issues a customer might have. As I said, it's usually down to "manager's discretion" - but I know my boss is a little more lenient than some of the other managers across. The main thing is that you got it sorted!

Went into Smyths for probably the last time in a while. Was completely barren in terms of people and figures. Considered buying the new Usos battle pack but ultimately left it.

Went to Smyths in Edinburgh today and the sign outside said only 20 allowed in store at a time and only one child!? So I had to take my two daughters one at a time while the other one waited in the car watching YouTube on my phone. Figure shelves were all full still, not much change from last week apart from The Usos battle pack and Booker T Wrestlemania elite and they'd sold out of their elite Becky and Velveteen Dreams. No Pete Dunne since I got him from there a couple weeks back. Didn't have anything I needed today though.
