In our weekly visit to Asda we spotted loads of cheap DVDs, including Ghost, Troll Hunter, The Road, Super 8, Hot Tub Time Machine and Green Lantern all for £5 each. We also saw season one of The Big Bang Theory for a fiver too. Other DVDs we spotted included Wall-E and Mars Needs Moms for £5 each, The Raven for £10 , season one of The Walking Dead for £12 and season six of Supernatural for £15 .
On the Blu-ray front Asda had Sin City for £5 and Drive Angry for £7 as well as a selection of sci-fi themed Blu-rays on sale for £7 each including Species, Alien, Aliens, The Fly, Predator, Legend and I Robot . Morrison’s and Tesco didn’t have anything new this week.
We have a Lego tastic random selection for you this week. It seems like all the good franchises are getting Lego deals these days. Our first find is the second series of the planet sets. The sets consist of a minifigures, a ship/vehicle model and a plastic planet which we reckon would make a great geeky Christmas bauble. This release consist of an X-Wing, pilot and Yavin set, a Cloud Car, Lobot and Bespin set and a Scout Walker, Scout Driver and Endor set. All for £9.99 . Asda has all three sets at the slightly cheaper £9.79 .
The first range of Lego Lord Of The Rings sets are available at the Lego website at prices from £11.99 to £99.99 . We recommend the ”Shelob Attacks” set, which is available for £19.99 , you get a teeny tiny Gollum and the Lego spider is just fantastic. You can find these sets a little cheaper if you search around, for example we found the Shelob set for 87p less here , however the Lego site has a really good points/special offer set up for people who sign up to the site and purchase their Lego there.
And finally on the Lego front, the Batman/Catwoman Lego set is on offer from Play for £8.99 .
For those of you who aren’t fans of Lego here’s a Men In Black “Frank the Pug” bobble-head for £24.99 .
Or how about some Star Trek coasters? . The set of four will cost you £7.99 from Play.
Our final random idea of the week comes again from Silver Fox 67 who spotted this Freddie Kruger glove on sale at Forbidden Planet for £3.99 .
