From the top link from stebiz -

'It’s not just hamsters,' Mr Hornsby said. 'We are bringing out the clans: chipmunks, squirrels, hedgehogs, rabbits... We have all sorts of cute things coming.'

:eek::eek: + there's all those new bits on the US toywhizz (?) website!!!

(apologies if you've put it on here somewhere else, the thread moves so fast I can't read it all!)

As promised I kept an eye out for the pesky critters while in town today, In Toymaster in Sunderland (opposite the Tesco metro) they had 2 slides 1 ball the assistant said they get stock every Monday morning and it's usually gone in an hour. Left them as I haven't been infected with hamster fever;)

I can hear all those desperate for a ball crying out that you should have snapped it up...;)

Whoah! I'm finally able to post! Been 2 frustrating weeks watching this thread and not being able to post! Don't know why, had to re-register with a different email address. Anyhoo, thanks to every one for all the information. I got my funhouse from Character, the car from Woolworths, and the slide, wheel and beds from Hooray for Toys. My 4 hammies came from my local argos (Upton, Wirral) and the ball, skateboard and surfboard from Wilkinsons (Birkenhead, Wirral).
I have been desperately trying to post on here to let people know!

Now, I live in Wallasey (Wirral) and we have our own Wilko store, and they have the hamsters. When I asked the customer service lady to check if any other store had the balls in stock, she was very reluctant to find out. She basically told me that everywhere apart from down south was out of stock. (She heard off a delivery driver!) I asked her to find the code for me because it was not on the internet (they aren't available online). She phoned her head office for the elusive code! She looked on her pc and said that Birkenhead (Wirral) were showing some stock of "accessories" but couldn't say what they were. I then phoned the store direct, and a lovely lady told me there was a ball on the shelf, and she would keep it for me. Like Cruella De'Vil, I drove to the store like a madwoman!! I ran to the desk and collected my ball, oh what joy I felt, complete elation!
When my heart slowed to a reasonable pace, I nonchalantly wandered to the go go hamster shelf. I was absolutely astounded to see the skateboard and surfboard there. I grabbed them badboys and went straight to the till! (and then for a large coffee to celebrate!).
I was there again on Friday, I don't need to go anywhere near that part of the store now, but I feel a strange urge to wander that way. There were houses, slides and wheels.
Anyway, I hope this helps someone, the way that you guys have helped me.
Cheers!!

What's the rarest or most wanted hamster and same question for accesories?

Maximouse wrote: »

Most people who are on the initial stages of the go go hunt are more interested in the most common items as looking for rare things isn't really a priority unless you are trying to find it to sell on...

And you have made 2 posts about them making a lot of money on ebay, why dont you just say your selling them on ebay, it annoys me people are abusing other peoples hard work on here.
