    buy from asdas to make sure you got one and take the other back to tescos if you still got receipt.. tell them you have been told by a relative they have got one .. as long as in original packaging and you got receipt they will refund you .

    I think they price match if you buy cheaper from another supermarket, currently around £59 in tescos whilst in asda they are 49.97.
    If you cant see any raptors in asda best to ask the staff as you will find in most stores they are only stocking 1/2 at a time and even stock them in the cd/video section.
    The store i went had just got delivery today and havent put them on the shelfs yet , so managed to get 1 by querying at the desk.Even the lady standing behind brought one after she heard how much they were.
  • None in Wrexham and no more coming in,they sold 48 yesterday,i ended up going to tesco and paying 59.99.........gggrrrrr!!

  • Saw 3 in Asda Derby (Sinfin Store) tonight. I bought one from Tesco at £59 and felt a bit mad :mad: but then I did get my club card points from asda so I suppose that knocks another little bit of. :confused: . Was tempted to buy one from Asda and return the other I bought but my tesco store is quite a bit away and its not worth the petrol money.!
  • bought 2 of the 5 they had last night in Swindon's wallmart and west swindon have stock in that will be on display from Monday, if anyone in this area is looking for some pm me as i have 2 on reserve in west swindon

    Hi

    There were some at the Swindon, Haydon Wick, Asda Walmart yesterday lunchtime.


    Opps.. should read the previous message, sorry dragonfly!
  • Hehe it's no problem Fuzzy, I sent a relative in to get mine for me but they had real trouble finding them, apparently they are not in the toy section with remote cars where you would expect to find them.
    If you have personally seen them Fuzzy could you let people know what section they ARE in so that others know where to look.
    All I know is they are not where you would expect them but no-one has told me where they DID find them

    If you had read my post you would have found out thery also stock them in the cd/video section, just dont expect to find loads of them out.
  • Buggu please don't think i never read your post because I did, it gave me the impression that they can be found in various place in different stores. I phoned 2 in my area and the girl wondered off and came back with none however when I called back they had 5, then I sent a relative to get 2 and they were nowhere to be found.

    Your post also says to ask staff when to be honest not all staff know where everything is. I just though it best to say to MSE'ers look here here here and here as I have noticed a couple of people already saying "None in Wrexham" and I begin to wonder if this person relied on the staff or went instore themselves and possibly looked in the wrong place??

    Just trying to be helpfull

    I guess we both trying to explain that ppl dont rely on just looking in the toy section or assume that since they shelf is empty that they dont have any left or that all of the staff know what roboraptors are let alone know if they got any in stock (they will just go and look at the toy section) but to try to get in touch with the person dealing with the roporaptor (in some cases it can be the manager since its an special offer thing)

    As i said the store i went to didnt put them out and when i specifically queried at the customer desk( rather than ask anyone) the lady said she hadnt a clue what i was asking for and that somone else was dealing with toys. When the lady concerned did get me one she said they will be stocked in the cd/video section.

    Hope this clarifys what i was trying to say, didnt meant to sound rude dragonfly.
