Just got one from outdooraction.co.uk, fantastic!  

Its a sample tent and £80 cheaper than the 2008 model.  The only things missing are the dvd (didn't need it anyway) and the repair kit.  As far as we can see there is nothing different than the new 2008 model but i am sure it depends from sample to sample.

£5 delivery and it came 2 days after ordering, very good service.

Let me know if anyone else has had samples before and had any problems?

Kate :)

Yes, pitched it yesterday in grandparents back garden and it's great. Spent the afternoon "playing" in it with the children but too cold to camp :)

Hi , Thanks for the tip . I have been looking at the Albany 600 and that is the best price I have seen it for .  I cant decide between that and the Diablo 400 but think that might be a bit hard to put up with just my kids .

Hi , Well i have ordered a sample Albany 600 now so keen to see whether anyone else has had previous problems with samples .

Not too sure what colour Azure is ( apart from pale blue ) but the one problem I can see is that it doesnt match the new range of canopies which are designed to fit this range of tents . I am hoping the blue one will still match but i will wait til the tent arrives before i comitt myself.

Cant wait to try it !!

Joan

We ordered Azure and to be honest its more dark blue and looks exactly like the picture??  Not sure if they just call it Azure for sample purpose. 

For that price we are not bothered if the canopy matched :)
