    Ring your local stores as I listed in the last post to see if they have any because just because they are not available online it doesn't mean that they haven't got any in stock.

    Not sure :rotfl: I was just trying to say that if you go onto, say for example, the Toysrus website and it says something is out of stock, it doesn't mean that it isn't still available in some of their high street stores. Conversely, if something is online as in stock, it doesn't mean that all their high street stores will have any left.

    took my monster high dolls back and got a refund so happy.... there still had stacks of them in symths. also right by the door was lotso (lotso and lots of them ) and bullseye, as if they were the two most popular things. did have a sign saying one per person but there must have been at least 50 of each...also lotso was reduced to £36.99!
    Listen to what people say, but watch what people what people do!!

    Ahhh was doing such a good job of not mentioning Monster High to my 8yr DD, and guess what earlier she announced she really wants the Monster High Dolls, apprently its the next best thing to Dr Who in her eyes. After the mad rush last year to find and buy all of the hamsters I thought I was being organised buying Lotso and Dave the Monkey early.
    I have reserved 4 in my local argos in the hope of picking different ones, don't know mnuch about them.
    All I can say is well done to the creators of Monster High they have done a fantastic job of getting children excited about a programme they have only watched 1 mins 30 seconds of lol!!!!! :j

    There are only 4 models at Argos Clawdeen Wolf, Lagoona Blue, Frankie Stein and Draculaura (all girls). Don't know how many you are thinking of getting but I would say I've pretty much listed them in popularity order although its a toss up between the middle two. The only other 2 available in the UK are Cleo de Nile and Deuce Gorgon (girlfriend and boyfriend) and they can only be bought as a double set and you can get them from toysrus. If you look at one of my previous posts earlier today you'll see I gave links to the monster high website where you can watch more clips and find out about Monster High.

    Thanks alot. I will make a note of them now in the order you recommend so I dont get confused tomorrow. Can I just say thankyou Maximouse you were a great help last year on my hamster hunt, I sold all the playsets in April but the hamsters are still played with alot in their makeshift houses which I must say are more sturdy than the ones I bought lol!!!!
