    I took back my Monster High Dolls and Lalaloopsys to Argos and Smyths today to refund and re buy at the cheaper price. Had no problems!

    Anyone know when the UK air date for Monster High is? No info at all on Nick's Website, Facebook page saying 31st October but think that may be in the USA?

    What fab marketing from Mattel! How many of us have rushed out and bought these dolls without our kids asking for them or seeing the programme just because we think they are going to be the next big thing! They've created the strom and we've rushed out panic buying!!!

    The short episodes (just a few mins) are on Nickelodeon every night at 4.55pm. Film won't be out till 2012. To watch all the short episodes they are all on the monster high youtube channel.

    Oh and there is supposed to be either more short episodes or a longer episode on Nickelodeon during the day on Halloween - they're having a halloween special.

    6 lalaloopsys!!! i have to ask are you getting them all for your little one for Christmas? I managed to get a dot starlight from the entertainer online if your still after one.


    oh my word my husband would have a fit if they were all for her !! I keep checking the Entertainer and I've never seen Dot on there, I think when they first listed them it was pot luck and I emailed to ask if I could request a specific one and they said no and I've never seen them since :( Well done on getting her, I'm jealous :)

    Now come on daisygogo tell the truth. All us North Easterners are stock piling lalaloopsys so we can set up a market stall on the Quayside on xmas eve to sell them for 4 x the price to all the drunk people coming from their office parties :rotfl:

    Do you know when Fenwicks decorate their window for Christmas ? when I was young they always used to do it for when the kids used to be off in October but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore ?
