    Hubby just been into Colton store, but from the sounds of it it's mostly the same stock as at White Rose but perhaps a few more of. Didn't get the Peppa Pig pull-back car that I wanted, booooo. Might try B&M next week (ooooh we have a new one opening up near me very soon, yay!)

    Remember the toys are not just located in the toy aisle or at the front of store..in my store they were stacked high beside the clothes dept, at the back beside the fruit n salad bar, beside computer dept and more opposite the canned veg aisle!


    :D

    Oh I meant to add earlier that in White Rose Centre store they were even stacked at the tills as well as on the end of aisles and on the toy aisle. You do need to walk round the entire store if you're after something in particular or want to see everything they have.

  • I have just been to my local store (coleraine) and for any fellow NI folks I wouldn't even bother. NO big toys at all, they may as well not have bothered. (I asked one of the workers and they said they didnt get any extra toys in).
    Went to BnM while I was out and got loads of Thomas the tank engine trackmaster stuff (the add on bits were 2.99/3.99) so im pleased.
    Mummy to Leeland 5, Lakota 4, Lennox 1 and expecting non id twins March 2011.
  • Have done the rounds again.
    Smart trikes in Letchworth & Stevenage
    Stevenage (Coreys mill & Poplars) had some different things to the Letchworth store. Crayola stuff, bigger furreal section, dolls.

    Has anyone seen the peppa pig house abd thomas trains sets (not the Hornby one)?

    Thanks

    Hemel Hempstead Apsley had the Thomas train sets - not in the toy section though - there was a pile at the end of the aisle near the pharmacy bit.

    Went to Chesterfield Store at 8.30am (opens at 8am), well I was the only person in there looking at the Toys! :D. quite a few people doing their grocery shopping, but no one else seemed to be buying toys!

    There were LOADS of Buzz Lightyears by the entrance, a whole crate full of them infact. Some SF Windmills, Toy Kitchen, Big Cuddly Peppa Pigs, Peppa Keyboard, RC Landrovers, Fisher Price Teapot, Baby Born with Horse (near the entrance), Nerf Guns and bullets, a few board games, hot wheels cars and sets, Zhu Zhu Pets and a few accessories. Could only see 1 Woody and I bought it! but may end up taking it back as when I was looking through a newspaper looking at toys with my son he said he wanted Paper Jams for Xmas! :mad: and that Woody is rubbish :mad: (only the other week he was pestering for a Woody toy!)

    Was pleased with my little haul (spent just under £100), but I think I have just about finished shopping for the Kids now.
    :p Busy working Mum of 3 :wave:
  • Yesss!!! Just been to Castlepoint Bournemouth and got the guinea pig!!!!!!
    They are stocking back up quite quickly but no Toy Story.
    Loads of sf windmills, baby annabell and the one with a horse.
    Hmmmm, didn't see any Lego though

    I'm happy I got the guinea pig to wrap up for dd ha ha. I keep makingvit squeak!
    If my words are missing letters then please excuse me....my keyboard is a tad dodgy!!
  • Thnx hun ill have a look in there :)
