    I think thats because the Urmston store is just a temporary unit till the Urmston shopping centre development is finished and it doesn't have much choice.

    I have been heading to the Stretford Arndale store. Its far far better. :D


    Thats great news about the Urmston Shop!

    Thanks for the info!

    Thotanby today quite a few good things

    Barbie Endangered Animals Doctor set RRP £24.99 choice of Snow Leopard, Panda or Polar Bear, with medical set and feeding bottle, lovely only prob is they are mischipped my Snow Leopard says i am a polar bear and gives the story, the polar bear said it was a Panda and the pands said it was a Snow Leopard apparently thats why they are £4.99

    I gave my daughter the Snow Leopard today was gonna wait till Xmas but didn't as usual and you shd have seen her face loved it but said immediately mum they are wrong this is a Snow leopard so had to explain

    Lots more but gone sleepy now so can't remember but worth a look

    They're all saying the wrong thing in the Preston store...believe me...I tried every single one!:eek:

    Why not buy THREE of them ?
    ALL DIFFERENT !

    That gives you a Snow Leopard, a Panda and a Polar Bear figure

    and the chips for a Snow Leopard , a Panda and a Polar Bear !

    Can't be too hard to swap them about can it ?

  • Found some great bargains in the Clayton store!!
    Spiderman dinner set, with plate, bowl, tumbler and cutlery at £2.49
    Also Thomas the tank engie although without cutlery at £1.99
    Lots of halloween customes and thanks to the poster earlier I managed to get the little miss and mr men tumblers for 50p each! they had lots left!
    Coco Pops coco rocks at £1.49 I normally buy these because my kids love them and they're around £2 and above.
    I noticed that although have been after a while they had'nt really put 'new' stuff at the front of the store like other HB stores do, I had to go thru each ailse as there were quiet a few new things but had to look really carefully!
    Also spotted a someone being really suspicious and I'm quiet sure he put something in his jacket, complained to the store staff but was asked to wait as they had to call the store manager had to repeat everything to store manager on shopfloor with everyone else there! :o

    The Wallsall one is in the same retail park as the Argos clearance shop and another cheapie shop-can't remember the name, sorry. The HB there isn't huge though. Probably big enough to get some bargains, but not the biggest I've been in. I'm hoping we get one in Essex soon too!
