Black Friday sale

Worth a look now, but it could pay to wait

Toy store The Entertainer kicked of its Black Friday sale earlier than we predicted, on Thursday 5 November.

How good is the sale? When we checked, 120 products were included from brands such as Lego, the Early Learning Centre, Disney and Hot Wheels. We've already spotted some good prices, though we haven't checked the full range against other retailers, so don't assume everything's a bargain.

Here are a few deals we spotted on Thursday 5 November:

Cheapest at The Entertainer:

Cheaper elsewhere:

What does 'up to 50% off' mean?

  • Minimum discount we spotted: 20%

  • Maximum discount we spotted: 74%

  • Typical discount based on 10 random items: 39%

Is it worth waiting? If you're not worried about something selling out, it could pay to wait. In previous years, The Entertainer has boosted its offers nearer Black Friday, including 'up to 70% off', while Cyber Monday has seen extra discounts when hitting certain spend thresholds (be careful not to overspend).

Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you’re getting the best deal – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.

Online only

For your child's birthday

If you create an account with The Entertainer* and register your child to The Entertainer Rewards (replacing 'Toybox Rewards'), for their birthday you’ll receive a code for 10% off your order (see help pages for more info).

Make sure to sign up at least three weeks before your child's birthday, as that's when the offer's first sent, or you won't receive the discount until the following year. The discount code is valid for 30 days from the date of issue. 

Expired

The Entertainer £10 off a £60 spend*

Or £20 off if spending £100. Online only, excludes Lego and gift cards

The offer ends at 11.59pm on Wednesday 4 November. Delivery will be free as the threshold for it is £40.

This could be a good time to get some toys cheaply ahead of Christmas, though make sure you compare prices elsewhere to make sure you're getting the best deal.

The code excludes Lego, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, Tonies, Target Dartboards, Pokemon TCG, Magic: The Gathering, Asmodee Trading Cards and Gift Cards.

FREE build your own Lego Pokémon

Available at Smyths and The Entertainer toy stores, while stocks last

Love Lego and Pokémon? Here's an Onix-pectedly good freebie...

Visit any Symths (find your nearest) or The Entertainer toy store (find your nearest) on Saturday 1 August to capture a free Lego Pokéball and acorn training target.

This is a total freebie so you don’t need to spend anything, but only a limited number are available on a first come, first served basis – so don’t be a Slowpoke – it's best to go close to opening time.

The model is suitable for ages seven and over. You won't be able to buy the Lego Pokémon as it's exclusive to the free build events, making it about as rare as a shiny Charizard we reckon.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
