I have been reading this thread for the past few days. I originally came on MSE to look for details regarding the boots offers, but came across this thread. I had (or so i thought) already finished my daughters xmas present shopping, that was until i read this thread and wondered what all the fuss was about.... as it turns out, i have been out and now got num nums... a house and a slide today. I do feel that i too would much prefer to buy items/sell to other mums etc that are looking for these toys rather than feed some selfish greedy person selling items on ebay. I dont think it is fair to judge people, if anyone feels that someone is doing wrong, fair enough question it, but there is no need to be nasty, after all, we are all here to try and save money... arent we?!?!
On a more lighter note.... num nums is so sweet.... had to have a quick play before i wrapped it up.... now im too wondering whether to get more, if they each do something slightly different!

I can't see where I was nasty?!

I have chunks and Mr squiggles. I am tempted to take them out the box and have a little play with them too but after reading a few pages back about the hamster that hid behind the fridge, I will keep them underwraps until xmas morning:rotfl::D

As I say in my post above I stand corrected
I don't still think MM has a motive tbh - have apologised for my suspicions and wished her well.
I am just surprised that we are allowed to offer items so openly on here to others as I have already said - I thought that was against forum rules but again apologies for my mistake here
So lots of apologies there can't make too many more!
Off to bed now so happy hamster hunting to all

You are right about the rules, regarding offering items, maximouse didnt know she only joined mse for the hamster hunt.

Glad we can all agree and go to bed

This forum is here to help. And as items are reserved - no monies have actually exchanged. The reservation number is given to those who want it - it is up to them if they want to pay for the items or not.
Sorry to say that there are some greedy people out there just wanting the items to offload on ebay to make a few extra pennies but if you read this thread start to finish then you will see that it is filled with parents wanting to complete the set - not for ebay but for their children/grandchildren etc.
Yes there is a big hype about the go go pets and that hype will only just increase in the run up to xmas. And as MM has pointed out, some of the retailers will not have any more stock until just before or even after xmas. I for one am glad I have the set and if I can help out others then I will when I can. Nothing worse than heartbroken children on xmas morning because santa only brought a hamster and garage.
Does anyone remember the carnage trying to get a buzz light year or woody doll? Driving store to store only to find out you have just missed out? Where as this forum is helping people and pointing them in the right direction. If by the time they get there the store has sold out then it's sods law but at least they will have a rough idea of when stock will be due back and where thanks to the posters in this thread.

I was one of the first posters on this thread so I have read from the start.
I would offer stuff to others on this forum (I have sources) but I didn't think it was allowed

I'm not sure about that Mookie - it seems I could be wrong

Anyhow as you say off to bed

Maybe nasty was a little harsh, but this thread has now been spoilt!
If anyone has any issues that they are not happy with, maybe they should report it, that way no one can get upset by individual comments, and the thread can continue to provide details on where and how to get the hard to get hold of stock.

thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread as i am another who wouldn't have had a clue where to find sets other than argos, tru, tescos and the likes.

If you report a thread hun it will likely be closed down so I don't think that's such a good idea

Ooo sources do tell;):D I'm not sure if it is or not but I genuinely believe that we are only being helpful on here so no malpractice intended. And (sometimes it helps to bend not break the rules a little):eek::D:A

I rang Boots.com this morning to ask when they were getting the fun houses and hamsters back in and if they would be on 3 for 2 again (no, I do not work for Boots...;)), anyway, they said that after something goes out of stock online, that it can be 1-3 weeks before they get it in again. Apparently if you click on 'add to wish list' you will receive an e mail when it comes back into stock. The 3 for 2 offer is a good saving if you have a few kiddies to buy for.
