Help out cub pack? Need light strike guns!

[arcascomp]

Hi,

Bit of an ask, I'm trying to set up a few retro computer games for cubs with them playing the part of pacman, space invaders etc.. For some of these games, like asteroids for instance, I need the kids to be able to shoot at targets, preferably without me having to run round picking up pellets/balls/etc.. A friend has lent me two Light Strike Striker guns that use infra red signals to shoot targets and I managed to get a load of the targets for 29p each at the local bargain store, but ideally I need a few more guns.

These can be bought on ebay for about £20 each, but Toys R Us have a few left on sale (http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/...-SR-Assault-Striker(0088838)?searchPosition=5) but the nearest to me is in Liverpool! Is there anyone prepared to go and buy a couple and post them up to me? I'd pay by paypal or whatever.

Also, has anyone got any of these things that their kids have grown bored of? If they work, don't really care what they look like.

Need these by a week tomorrow in Edinburgh if anyone is able to help out.

Many thanks,

Craig.

Hi,

No stock in my nearest 3 stores (Tamworth, Oldbury and Birmingham).

There's stock in Stoke on Trent but that's a 50 mile round trip for me and I don't ever really find myself up that way.

My daughter went to Cubs and is currently in Scouts so would have loved to help but stuck on this occasion, sorry

Ian

Won't Toys R Us post them out to you?

A sale is a sale after all.
Are they doing so well, that they don't need your business?:nenau

Just the option to collect in store as stock is being run down, Rustic.

Xr6r, thanks for checking, not expecting anyone to go out their way.

have you checked ebay?

 

[arcascomp]

yep, will go there if I have to, but toysrus are a good bit cheaper.

Found out that Home Bargains have been flogging these off dirt cheap and Tesco have been clearing out twin packs of the guns for £10 - sadly none in Edinburgh! If anyone should be dropping in to these store and sees them, gimme a shout! (A PM should get to my phone pretty quickly)

Cheers,

Craig.
