Have you tried your local Blockbusters as they were definately expecting some in although I haven't gone back to mine as I decided not to take the chance and got mine from Tenerife.

Thank you tripod22 and trinnylilac!

In a rare moment of sanity I rang Woolworth in the next town and that angel on the phone said "we do have the last one in stock..." needless to say I was there 20 minutes later! what a relief, nearly kissed the shop assistant...

I would like to thank you all for the support and the feeling of genuine care that comes from this lovely community. :xmassign:

I hope everyone will be able to find one for their little loved ones in time for Christmas, I shall keep my eyes open....

Off to look for dogs game now... :j

Excellent!!!!

I ended up getting both of mine from Woolworths (one blue a month ago, one pink last week) - They do seem to be the best bet at the moment!

Still looking for a blue one if anyone can point me in the right direction.

I'm checking Argos daily (sometimes hourly), tried the usual high street stores today (Woolworths, Game, HMV etc...).


Thanks.

Try Blockbusters as some of them have Game within the store and my local one just called me this afternoon to say they got a delivery

I asked him to put the one I had on reserve back instock as I have mine and he said that most people on the waiting list had said the same so you might be lucky.

I am new, so not sure if this is allowed, but I have a spare pink Nintendo Pak from Argos if anyone wants it £99.99, I live in Worksop, but if you want to pay the shipping I will send it to you.

Joanne, you need to phone the Argos store... I don't know how it works but the web stock checker isn't always right.

Yesterday, the web checker showed none in stock but when I popped in, they had 3!

Yay!!! I got one!!! I bought one this morning from Argos!! I tried about 50 branches yesterday on the phone and found there were a few branches in the Bristol/Devon area that had them but none in Berkshire/Wiltshire. DP travels with work quite often but wasn't going in that direction.

Tried again on the phone this morning while the website was down, and got one reserved in my home town, Basingstoke - couldn't believe it until I physically had it in my hands!

I can really recommend trying by phone. Tel number is 0870 600 1010 - you need the 7 digit catalogue number and the 3 digit store number. On the website if you type in a town it gives you the store numbers for all the stores nearby too. I got a list of store numbers from the website and I found it much quicker to then check availability in lots of stores on the phone rather than the website.


Good luck to those still searching!
