I did open them and peek and I'm sure they were right, but going to have to go and double check now. Back in a mo! :rotfl:

I emailed Character to advise that boxes were containing the wrong products - they said they would pass my comments on to the manufacturer! I thought they were the manufacturer???

Yes we need to actually check it is what it says on the box!

Also a lot of posters are checking that they have the correct connections/parts etc... as some sets have had bit's missing! :eek:

It's not easy this hamster lark is it!

Think they are just the uk distributor. A subcontractor in effect so obviously it nothing to do with them :rolleyes:. Same ole same ole ' its not our fault, nothing to do with us, move along please'

Oooooh I've got mr squiggles! Just arrived from John Lewis.

Sorry I don't mean to gloat but am just so thrilled to have finally bought something! My little boy will be thrilled with mr squiggles even if I can't get him anything else.

I went through all my boxes the night before last - to make sure they were what they said they were - and the ball has the stabiliser. I haven't checked the complete contents as didn't think i would get some of it back in the box the right way - mainly the slide and house - here's hoping there is nothing missing on Xmas morning.

Character are the importers/distributors for the UK. The manufacturer is Cepia,a small US co.

Go Go Hamsters are made by Cepia LLC (same people who made Glo-e bear I think) in St Louis - Character Online I guess have the distribution agreement for the UK - (I know its sad but I work in Procurement).

I had a quick look at ebay.com and it appears there is a shortage of stock in the USA as well - typically they are going for around $35 dollars so it would be less cost effective than getting from ebay UK.

I guess we all have another 3 weeks of checking the stockchecker and crossing fingers!!

Pleased for you!! :T

I am going to give up with the battle for the ball - it's just too stressful. Will just hope and pray that my DD will be happy to try and get one after Christmas.
