    So nice to see that Thatcher spirit living on. What a legacy! This site should be renamed Money Making Expert.

    Keep promoting the selfish, greedy society - a truly wonderful place to live.

    We feed people like that by creating the buzz - to be honest don't buy one and def not off someone like this , they just end up months latter stuffed in your kids toy box gathering dust.

    Be wise save your money guys or invest in a toy that will last forever like lego, playmobil etc.

    Agree with you there, only ones causing the hype are those who have bought in bulk. I wonder how many of those selling many on Ebay are declaring the earnings, was a discussion on a local radio station earlier about it. Wonder how long it takes for IR to check.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I registered with the IR as soon as I started selling on ebay, my hubby also works full time and pays tax. Go and bang your tambourine somewhere else!

    He was also featured on Moyles's radio show last week. Come to think of it, I really hope these don't start fetching stupid money on ebay, or this thread will be infested with even more trolls. Please don't respond to them as it only gives them an excuse to post again and fills them with even more self-importance.
    I spelt my username wrongly on purpose, by the way!

    Well I've reread todays threads and looked at the moral implications -so I've just reserved another 2 at my local Argos, can't resist it, too weak willed.
  • hi,

    can someone please tell me the difference between the elmos in top secret boxes and those in warning boxes?

    many thanks

    apparantly the top secret ones are the initial batch. once they sold out, the new ones will be the warning ones.
    in other words a top secret one will be more exclusive and should fetch a higher price
    my 'u' btton is broked :rolleyes:
