What a weird concept. So soon after Christmas people queue up and charge into innocent shops to buy from the latest, and barely noticeable, sales, completely disregarding all the presents they should have just received. I guess it's useful for spending all those vouchers they just received from unimaginative gift-givers but there's barely even a semblance of pacing themselves.
DIDN'T STOP ME FROM GOING, THOUGH
I was pleasantly surprised to see the new Legends of Chima sets on sale today. I think they were literally released on this day as the guy from Argos said that somebody from Lego was going around ensuring all the stores were putting them on their shelves. I tried to buy that one £12.99 set with Crawley in it but for some reason the system wouldn't let it go through and I had to go away empty handed. I'm a little miffed but I guess that's money saved. I also found them in Toys 'R' Us complete with an advert for the TV series which I admit actually looks pretty great. I was also hoping to find Far Cry 3 for £22.49 again, but it looks like that offer was only temporary. In the end I came away with a dragon calender, a few books, an informational/photography book about wolves and even a steelbook case for Assassin's Creed III which I got for free. That was nice.
