It's been reduced from £220 to £55. That's better than half price.

Can't seem to buy or reserve online. Is it a pricing mistake they've now pulled?

No it's still there, are you using the above link? They've got very limited stock apparently.

Your right. Managed to reserve 2, via 2 different stores. Just waiting on confirmation they are good to pick up.

others discounted now as well

off to pick mine up in 10 minutes it can keep the others company

I assume they are getting rid of all the old sets. The new sets look much better. I've had my large halfords set for nearly 20 years but I'm tempted by the new stuff.

I think the £55 set is the sweet spot for a relatively casual home spanner enthusiast, right?

Of the 50 pieces from the 120 to the 170 piece, there's a lot of screw driver bits and so on.

I think I'll stick with the £55, 120 piece one I've already ordered, and take the hit on the Frivoloity Meter.

Hmmm can't find any availability

Halfords are obviously clearing out Metric tools that won't work after 31st October?

Just ordered an Oculus Quest after trying one yesterday. I absolutely do not need this whatsoever. I really want it though! Guess Facebook will be spying on me even more now...

Just done the same!

Can confirm, excellent bit of kit!!!

Absolutely loving it.

The YouTube VR app is impressive, give Dali’s dream a go, the 360 version. I enjoyed putting the headset on my Mrs and seeing her reaction to the new it movie trailer!

Also enjoying Wander. It’s basically google earth but you’re in it...

At first I was concerned the novelty would wear off, but I don’t actually think it will

With wander I guess you need Google Home devices as it wants you to talk to it...

If you click the maps button, the option on the far left when you’ve loaded Wander, then it has an option to type in your destination. Took me a while to figure that out

Ooh you utter gits. There I was, with a bit of spare cash saved, and thanks to you, I'm now £400 lighter...

It should arrive tomorrow. I've been looking at some of the gameplay on YouTube, and despite being nearly 50 years old, I am as excited as a kid at Christmas! I can't wait to wield a lightsaber in 'Vader Immortal...'

'kin hell. Between this thread, the eastern tat thread and readers cars sections i'm about to be bankrupt.

I haven't ordered an Oculus Quest...... yet....

I'm reading through but assume it has internal storage / processing to make it do what it does?
