    £20 for a soft toy made by child labour in the far east, plus £15 delivery? Think I'll pass on this one.
    You don't get medals for sitting in the trenches.
  • Not sure if this makes a difference to anyone planning to order/collect one but when I heard this on the radio this morning, it said that there would only be 5000 of these on sale. £20 (plus P&P) for a limited edition still sounds pretty good.

    I have just spoken to Harrods toy department. They tell me they have received over 500 e-mails over night to reserve one of these. They have virtually allocated all 5000!! Hope everyone who wants one gets one.
