Suitcases - which make and when to buy?

[Flamingo]

We're heading to WDW next August and need suitcases for both children and I need a new one too.
I haven't bought any in at least 10 years! I'm thinking that the 4 wheel cases are probably best in terms of ease of moving. Is there a particular brand to look for?
I saw an IT Megalite case for £50 but not sure if that's a reasonable price? It really was incredibly light!
Should I wait until closer to the summer for offers/discounts etc?
Any advice/knowledge gratefully received 😃
Thanks

Tripp suitcases from Debenhams every time for us. We get the flower pattern ones which always seem to be on offer. Our oldest is 13 years old and still going strong.

Tripp from Debenhams for me too. I’ve got a large case and matching cabin bag on wheels. They’ve been going strong for at least 8 years and still in decent nick.

Haha! A trip to Debenhams to view the Tripp cases is obviously in order then.
Thanks for the replies!

Ours are also Tripp. 4 wheeled. Hard sided. From Boundary mill who do last season designs at a discount.

My latest Tripp suitcase hasn’t lasted 8 holidays so I’m in the lookout for a new one too. I think it must be a different design as the last ones I had were great

We have 2 types of Tripp. A more pricey one that’s curved and looks a bit like a shell. That one seems bomb proof. Then some flatter cheaper ones. They’ve lasted maybe 7 years or 28 holidays (56+ flights) but the wheel came off one this trip, and the zip bust.

We have Samsonite cases, you and drive over them in a tractor and they pop straight back into shape and can be easily repaired by Samsonite if needed, we have had a wheel replace in the past. They are very light and are a hard case and wear very well, but they are not cheap. I suppose it depends on what you want to pay and how light you want them.
