BTW, has anyone ordered this online yet, as I tried, and had problems at the checkout phase.

Bah, I bought them individually yesterday and no discount was taken off (I never saw the double pack when I clicked through on the link from Lew's blog), I've emailed them about getting my 3 quid back, or just cancelling the order and redoing it.

Finally got around to ordering the item (had to turn compatibility mode on my browser)

I wasn't aware of any double pack when I wrote my blog post. Sorry about that. I've updated it now.

That's OK, not your fault Lew!

I can only hope DCT do the honourable thing and refund me the difference or let me cancel and reorder.

Pah! Who cares what DCT said about last year's Dandy Summer Special? I'm just glad that it's back this year. I see that they are using the 80s logo this time.

I quite agree! (About the who cares what was said last year bit)

Has anyone seen them in the shops yet? Every WH Smith I've been in still has copies of last year's Dandy Summer Special. If they're waiting until their computerised stocking system tells them to replace it with the new one we're in for a long wait.

no signs of it yet...

I got mine last Thursday in easons in coleraine.
The dandy summer special was easily found as it in a special display under the heading recommended. Great to see then both
The dandy summer special has a lovely old korky the kat strip done in watercolour.

I ordered mine online when I first saw them mentioned on here. No sign yet, and not seen them in any of the local shops either yet.

Looked in WHSmith in Bishop Auckland but no luck.

I've not seen them in the shops yet either.

Not in any london WHS yet either at least the 3 i have checked.

Same thing happened at Bishop WHSmith.

Hull Prospect Centre WHSmith now has the Beano Summer Special in stock, along with a Jacqueline Wilson one. But not the Dandy, for some reason.
