Just spoke with a lady at Character who says they are waiting information but have sent stock out to the following shops. TRU , Argos , Wilkinson , Amazon , Play , Makro , TJ Hughes. List goes on. Hope this helps.

This is the thing though, they do not need to make that work for themselves they can forward the stock to a store ie toys r us, and they will still get profit maybe not so high but they cut out all the hassle and can concentrate on their other orders. I think we got an indication of characters staff attitude when they said they felt relieved they could go home at 5pm the day they opted out of listing. Hamsters may be taking over our lives but obviously not theirs. :rotfl:

I see, thank you.

What would be nice to hear about is small independent toy shops who had the foresight to see that this toy would be a big seller and that they took a gamble and put in a big order and they have done well from the sales.

I'm off to buy fleece and fake fur to make my own beds for the hammies!!! I'm giving up trying to get anything else. I would love a car or skateboard but think its time to give up, I will check the supermarkets when Im out, now I just need to wean myself off visiting this forum........

I suggested fleece in a previous post! could also buy some jewels if the beds for a girl and sew them on! happy making

:j I managed to pick up a ball this morning I rang our local Wilkinsons at 08:00 and they had one left which I promptly raced into town to collect. They checked their stock system for me and in the North East they have 42 in the warehouse although they couldn't tell me which stores they'd be going to and when, it would just be a case of ringing round.
