Just had a look. Box has two plastic bags in. One has the blue sleep dome in - looks like 2 pieces that fit together to form the dome shape and the other bag has the skateboard and a white connector (just a straight bit with two ends at 90 degrees at both sides), and an instruction leaflet.

I thought the sleep dome came with a surfboard not a skateboard

Err, hello, (clears throat)my name is jollyrosiemac and I seem to have gained a one track mind these days - all I can think about is a blue hamster ball and where I'm going to find one. It's my 1st thought of the day, it's with me throughout the day and it's my last thought at night. What am I going to do? I just want to go about my daily business as usual without refreshing pages and non stop phone calls to retails stores having conversations about hamsters. I found myself desperately trying to get an assistant to confirm delivery times/stock by saying 'would you bet your life on it'! How sad is that? Poor girl - I feel absolutely ashamed of myself.

Just need THAT BALL and I'll be cured - I just know it.

(sorry for taking up valuable thread space but I needed to vent..lol)

Oops, was trying to reply quick and just typed the wrong board. Yes, you're right it is the surfboard. Thanks i'll edit the original response.

how reliable is woolworths? it says delivery within 4 weeks, whats the normal delivery time?

I am skeptical of that ... all those playsets came into the country weeks ago and no more cars are expected before Xmas. Whilst occasional stock is appearing through the independents, I can't see where they will find them in 4 weeks time.

If they had said 1-2 weeks that might have been OK by the time stock filters in through their procurement/warehouse system, but I am not sure that I would bank on it.

Better maybe with Argos - were showing Home delivery NOW on the car/garage.

What you should have said is "Good Evening my name is Jollyrosiemac and I'm a Hamsterholic" lol

That serves you right for ordering three .. no wonder stock ran out with customers buying three at a time.
What was it, one for you and two for Ebay??!!
:mad::mad::mad:
I know the remaining two were for friends/relatives!!!!

I don't think there is any need for a comment like that :mad:
So what if they are for e bay (I'm not saying they are), Maximouse has spent hours helping other people on this thread find the toys and a lot of us are very grateful for all the info she/he has posted about where to get hold of them:T:T
If maximouse wanted to he/she could have just kept all the information to him/herself and if he/she is selling on e bay could have made a lot of money by just ordering them all instead of informing everyone on here when he/she finds stock in another shop or finds out when a shop will be getting them in.
Its comments and people like you that puts others off posting and helping on threads. Why post comments like that
I for one would like to say thanks again to maximouse for all your posting, it is appreciated by most people :T:T:A:A

I agree. We had this problem a few nights ago, and although ive have slept since then, i was thinking what you said, about if MM was buying to sell etc, why would (s)he bother to post where they are?
Guess its just a stressful hamster time for us all.....

Who really cares who they are for? MM has done really well on sourcing stuff/stock levels etc? don't forget, she shared all her information on this board so we could all have the chance of getting stock - she's hardly a selfish person to do that.

I've just noticed that www.hoorayfortoys have added a message under their out of stock houses saying "will be listing more funhouses next week". They have them on for £21.99 plus £4.95 p&p. Not the cheapest option, but thought it was worth a mention if you are on the hunt and can't get one cheaper elsewhere.

Now my brain is working overtime, I also noted that there was a difference between how items on the site were being described - from a stock point of view. The house, beds, carriers and add ons (wheel, slide, car) are all described as 'out of stock', whereas the ball, surfboard and skateboard are described as 'no stock available - on order'. Which makes me wonder whether there might be a chance of some more of the just 'out of stock' items being listed again before Christmas. Anyway, just a thought.

Was just looking on the Go Go Hamster site; well US version so it's "Zhu Zhu" and noticed they have one more hamster than in the UK :S not fair!!!! And it's so cute with a little flower on the back ( http://www.wacky-packages.net/images/zhu-zhu-pets/patchesNPqtL__SL500_.jpg ) has anyone seen any of those available (or were available) anywhere? The ones I saw on ebay (from US seller) seem to come with a House (also contains the rattling mini ball!! looks like http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ayVoNPqtL.jpg ) that isn't available in the UK either afaik. Soooo want them now :eek: (I mean the kids so want them now... hmmm yeah.... lol)
