I agree hopeful. People more and more want something for nothing these days!

thank you:beer:

christmas is about family time and memories not what you can get for next to nothing. i would give up everything for my kids to have their grandad/my dad back this year. You dont realise whats important until you loose it.

(i love a bargin (ask my hubby) but somethings are just a little more important in life x )

sorry.. but been reading this thread since this morning and cant believe how many negative comments their are.

Well I was at the Preston store today. They didn't have some of the things I wanted but I mananged to get most of it. What struck me was how very helpful the staff were. They were under pressure with people in the crates looking at what was coming out next but the shelves were pretty full, no large Lego sets, no Imaginext, and no Fireman Sam deluxe but plenty of Toy Story, Buzz, Woody and other bits. Met another MSE member (whose name I didn't get SORRY!, but nice to meet you!). I had to do a 35 mile round trip but my boys will be happy. They don't stock the cameras or video cameras which is a shame but guess I'll find that somewhere.

Just did chester and Wrexham.

Don't waste your time in Chester they have hardly anything, directing people to Ellesmere Port or Wrexham.
Just in from Wrexham - they have loads of stuff. Still loads of Buzz light year and toy story - peppa pig and LEGO including some Star wars lego. Lots of V-tech stuff, mini microwaves and hoovers.....can't remember it all...oh some Sylvian family stuff.

didn't get the board games i was after tho :mad: said they don't stock them.

Hi, Ive just been to Wrexham and didnt see any Vtech that I wanted... in fact I didnt see any at all, what was there please?
I have come away with a lot from wrexham store but the 4 things I really wanted I couldnt get: Storio, and Kidizoom camera, and also the fisher price Zebra, Toy Story buzz story teller, well and toy story games like freefall were not there either! :mad:

I was at Arnold Nottingham Sainsburys at 7.40am. About 15-20 people there & it was manic when it opened but everyone seemed to be in good spirits. I got everything I wanted for my little girl so I'm thrilled.

Sylvanian Families was big on the list this year...I got the Primrose Baby windmill,Caravan,car,Sainsburys Stall & lots of the families. I also got the Vtech Camera. Then it was things like a Sing Along CD Player,Jigsaws,Baby Annabel & the list goes on

It's a busy day in our household as it's our daughters birthday on Christmas Day too. I can't wait to see her face when she opens her presents :T

I went to Marshall Lake Sainsburys in Shirley. Was disappointed as they didn't have any of the chuggington things I wanted I should have checked before the sale, because although I know Sainsburys stock them I don't know whether that store does or not.
On the plus side they did have LOADS of toy story things inc. Buzz and the V tech computers.

Been to sainsburys at filton abbeywood foxden rd, BRistol lots and lots of toys still available, no Toy Story or baby annabels. Seems to be more girls toys than boys. Staff are replenishing isles constantly, and staff are counting how many of each thing people have as there is a limit of 6 of one item per customer which I think is very fair. I did not get my Baby Annabel but will go back tommorow am at 7.00 good luck to all of you and hope everyone gets at least some of what they wanted.:p:j

Tempted to try filton tommorow maybe.

braved emerson green bristol today with no intention buying toys.

anyway toys were all at front and ailses just off front of store so had to walk past looked at how busy it was and thourght forget it.

got to till with food lady in front brought lots of toys.cashier commented on her bargains.

starwars./startrroper figurines in packaging probably normally 4.99 were 25p!
Asked lady was there any left.
she said she ldumped some in trolly as only took what she needed but said was very busy over there.

I said never mind as kids were restless.

bless this lady she went back and got me 2 so spent 50p on toys.
she said people were pushy and toy ailse was schut/cordoned off.
so not every shoppers rude or selfish.
not even for my kids or for xmas.
its my cousins twins 7th birthday thourght be something to go along with sweets maybe so was quite chuffed.

Have no idea what im getting my 2rugrats so disorganised not done any shopping yet for xmas.
