right then helloooooooooooooooo im back from my mad hunting adventure i left for toysrus at 5.30 am this morning (my god im a dedicated daddy lol) thought i would risk popping into tesco and have a quick look before i went to join the que at toysrus , they had 3 on the shelve so brought them for my sister whos daughter is now looking, funny thing is i rang tesco the other day and their computer said discontinuing stock and told me they werent getting any more in !!! looks like that are drip feeding the shelf with like 4 hamsters at a time but nothing else in there, so got down to toysrus at 6.30 am one more bloke in the carpark who got there before me bout 7.50 am more people started to pull up so thought i had better be the first to line up at the door,everyone else followed staff came out and opened the lobby kinda thing for us so we could sit and wait in there then we were given a ticket for a hamster each and were told only hamsters and houses and that there were only 9 house available,was having a good laugh with all the other people there feeling them in on the gossip of what ive heard about them, at 9am they let us in and everyone filed in in a ordely fashion no pushing or shoving taking around the isle and led to a woman handing the houses and hamster out got one of each so thats four hamster ive managed to get for my sister this morning and a house so she is going to be pleased but still no ruddy accessories i doubt i will go down to toysrus again this wkend as its a long way for me to travel bout 45 mins each way they did say they were getting more stock over the wkend but didnt know what it was going to be so could be more hamsters and houses!!
i then quickly shot down to sainsburys in the off chance that they had some hamsters that i could offer people on the ebay group they also told me the other week that they dont and never will stock them,low and be hold there were 4 of them on the shelf but all priced up at £14.99 each and im not paying that
so if your lucky and you live in exeter they might still be there if you dont mind paying £150 -
