Yep, spotted that yesterday, the day after I had just ordered some from Robert May. If the picture is accurate about the number of sides then I would have spent about half the money (Robert May's £22 for 17 doesn't include VAT or delivery) but it's done now, and I'm looking forward to building my first C&C cage.


From the look of the Argos ones they are similar to the Robert May ones, it would be pretty good to have some spares that are the same style, so if anyone buys the Argos ones can they let us know if they are identical to the Robert May ones.

Ordered my Correx as well, local(ish) sign maker is charging us £10 for a 8x4 sheet plus £5 delivery, but I'll have to wait until they are delivering in my area anyway.

I'm pretty sure there are 24 in a pack. Just enough for a 2x5 with a lid! It's great that Argos are selling them now. What you see is what yuou get. Easy to buy spontaneously, no hidden costs - it's perfect!

When I first saw on this site the places to buy cubes in the UK I had argos at the back of my mind as I can rember seeing them in their catalog a few catalogs ago.

Got some in Argos today - it's the same ones I have already - they are NOT bare metal. They are metal coated in silver coloured plastic.

I'm guessing this is bad if you have a nibling piggie?

Mine are fairly nibbly and I haven't had any probs with it. They are just nowhere near as high a quality as the Robert May cubes.

Most of the cubes that people get on this forum are coated in plastic, so no worries. Mine will take the occasional nibble on them but it's no biggie. Thanks for the link daft, now there are certainly no excuses for people not build C&C cages! *bows down to Argos*

I am sure that these must be a Spring item? As I also found these finally in Kleeneze, £19.99 for 3 cubes!

Haha I bought them and went home on the train, then walked for 10 minutes from the train station! £19.99 for 3 cubes in Kleeneze? That's the same price for half the amount you get in Argos.

I went to Liverpool, which is about and hour on the train from were I live, and then a 20 minute walk from the train station. Anyway, I went and got my mum's christmas present, which was a foot spa from there, not thinking I would then have it the rest of the day and on the train and on the way home. So I bought it and it was heavy, but the worst thing was the box was massive and you had to hold it up of the ground. It was hard!

Anyway, totally of topic! Are you sure it's just for 3 cubes? I thought it was for 6. I'm getting mine from Argos anyways :D
