Picked up one of these yesterday, seems very well made and for a fraction of the cost of a peli case!

Went to the Romford store today to have a ferret about and noticed they had one left at £24.99 so I snapped it up.
I also picked up a couple of 5,000mAh battery packs for about £7.
Down to 60% on most things now.
Worth a look around your local store...D3 07 SE - still going strong

What size hard case was it ? the web site and link is now closed.
I was in Bolton yesterday and they had cases and sets of cases and …. a complete of a pricing scheme with piles in different parts of the shop having same stuff at different prices. . I think it's "make me an offer" stage now. Most of their warehouse shelves had "sold" written on them, even one of their two sets of ladders was sold.
Might venture over to Salford branch tomorrow.

I'm always on the look out for camera cases similar to the Peli ones as now most airlines have clamped down on the way ammo is carried when travelling abroad.
I used to carry it in a small metal cash box in my hold luggage now it must be carried separate in a secure container. At present I have a Peli camera case which cost a fortune but have seen similar at half the price.
Just wondered if that was the sort of thing you are talking about and worth a trip to either Andover or Salisbury branches.

Only thing different is that it does not have the clips on the side also like a proper one..

Wow !! they are exactly the sort of thing I could do with.
Although I have two already they are always handy for my other mates that are not so well equipped.
That price is an absolute steal.
Andover tomorrow morning and Salisbury in the afternoon

Loads of cases in the Cumbernauld branch
was in earlier
bought a load of batteries
Woman came in with her young son and tried to return a faulty amp he had got for Xmas.
It was explained to her that as Maplins had ceased trading, he couldn't do anything for her and she would have to become a creditor and join the Q.
He was very apologetic, felt sorry for the bloke as he didn't even know how long he had left b4 getting the bullet himself.
