My other half says these were £100 originally, if it is the same thing, don't know for sure because can't get onto argos site.

They were the best side of eighty pounds so a price of £7:99 must really get to people who bought at full price:(

If this toy can be sold for the price of £7.99 then it just shows what mugs we are and the contempt the big name stores have for the general public. It may only be a ploy to reel the customers in, I dont know, or an error on their part. It might even be a "slave labour" issue, who knows...cant be that tho it's Argos innit. Only weeks ago did they have to recall cheap Chinese leather suites 'cause the bleach/chemicals were burning folk when they sat on them.

I can't see them making a profit on it selling it at £7.99. It's quite a big thing isn't it?

I cant see the likes of Poundland making a profit out of it's wares either. There are only two options, either it's bargaining power is huge or they use cheap labour, just how cheap is anyones guess. I can't see any of our " High Street " names trading on a higher moral basis

its not a big toy its the small version of the ROBORAPTOR, this toy is the roboreptile about a third of the size of its big brother, still a good price though

i know last year the big roboraptor was £100 before xmas then on boxing day play.com were selling them at £49.99. we`ve been a lot more selective with our xmas gifts this year as you know that the day after xmas it is probably going to be reduced and there is nowt more annoying than that.
