Since ASDA are part of Wallmart I suppose they ought to have been doing this ages ago, I haven't been in our local ASDA for yonks but will check it out just in case - cheers!

My local ASDA doesn't have any, I was in there this afternoon to get a curry since I have managed to eat all the food in the house and my mum's not back from holiday till tomorrow. They also didn't stock repositional glue when someone said that other ASDAs were, and they don't have sharpies. I feel very left out.

oooo great news :)

Nick, ask the customer services, they bend over backwards for you, you might get some cards as well so result either way :)

They will be happy to ship some in from another store, at no extra cost :)

Cool, I'll have to try that, though I'm not sure that most of the staff there will be very good at bending over backwards.

Hi

The Asda in Toryglen, Glasgow has them, they list on the till recipt as Jumbo Cards and the product number is 007385400808 this might help to find out if you Asda stocks them.

I found mines hanging in a clear holder at the end of an isle.

Does anyone know if Asda are getting any more stocks in?

My local didn't have any and had heard nothing about them and their computer doesn't show what other branches have in stock (or so they said). I then went to another local branch who had 6 left which I brought but they didn't know if they were getting any more in, saying that they were just sent to them and they had no other information.

The asda in Leeds has roughly 100 decks in, well, they did last week!

I found them in amongst the cheap larger and vodka shots, yummy!

But, if all ese fails, why not try joining costco?

I'll have to go into my local tomorrow and see what they can do to get some in. I'll try to keep away from the voda though!!!!!

Not surprising! If you log on to http://www.asda.com and search for 'Playing Cards' the only item shown (Not Bikes) is in the section headed 'Beers, Wines & Spirits / Drinking Accessories / Accessories' so playing cards are obviously consdiered by the mandarins at ASDA to be Drinking Accessories. Can't really argue much with that unless you're teetotal. :shock:

It's worth knowing that the Leeds Asda has them in because this is actually Asda's head office - so as long as they're getting them in, there's a chance for the rest of us too!!!!

...don't ask me how I know it's their head office...I just noticed when I visited that it's about 100 times bigger than the Asda round here and I looked into it...sad, I know...

Hi Guys - I found these at my ASDA last night too - just by chance - in the Alcohol section too! I couldn't believe it. I was with friends and they thought I'd gone mad getting so excited about seeing Bikes in ASDA!!...
"Yes but these are BICYCLE cards"...."They're just the best"...."They just are"....."Trust me, if you were into magic, you'd be getting excited to see them in ASDA"...

They just walked off and pretended they didn't know me!!! :oops:
:P
