From the list you have put up max very few my son has asked for, the advertising wheels must not have that much effect in this house:rotfl::rotfl:

Sadly me I collect alternative looking dolls and just can't resist these! Saying that my boyfriend very carefully opened the boxes and snipped the dolls out, then had a good look at them before finally handing them over, going "oooooooh these are quite cool... all this opening boxes and sharing excitement over dolls is good practice for when I have a daughter!"

If I do ever have a daughter I'm sure I will let her play with my awesome 'retro' dolls

My SIL has 2 daughters the ones I have bought the monster high dolls for and she for years has been collecting barbies, any doll that comes out that she is convinced will make money she buys puts in the attic and will not let her kids play with them, they are not to be touched, seen, looked at, just kept for the future:rotfl::rotfl:

Yeah but just wait, those adverts will start to dominate kids tv time so those lists will soon expand :rotfl:

I have read the list again and he did ask for a nerf gun but not the £55 one thank goodness and he did ask for the air gravity car which is £40 but I managed to get it for £29 and he did ask for lego but fortunately not the listed one, he just asked for a few lego city ones which were not expensive from Tesco's, so far I have spent £133 on his presents and not one of them is more than £30, thanks to this thread and others on here I have got what he wanted but at a cheaper prices like the 4 annual with the £5 whsmith voucher for £10.98, it has been a chase but worth it, he has loads but for a reasonable price, still a few more lego bits to get and pokemon heart and gold for the ds which in compare prices comes up at £20 ish but tracking one on ebay:D

My son often says to me ' come and look at this, this looks awesome' :rotfl: I say ' what is that, looks like plastic rubbish to me':rotfl::rotfl: he is a good kid, he knows he will not be getting hundreds of pounds of toys, he knows to make a list and we will see what we can do but if he mentions a nerf gun one more time I think I will have to gag him:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Bless them, that's no fun! I'm a rubbish collector, I buy things because I like them and they always get opened and displayed (they can't be appreciated properly in the box!) I don't plan to sell anything, but it's nice to know if I was ever in urgent need of money I could probably sell them for a fair bit.

I don't see the problem provided the kids play with them gently... then again I remember how I was with my Barbies as a kid, I used to wave them in front of the cat so their hair is tatty and they're covered in bite marks :eek:

OMG CLAIRE you actually nearly gave me a heart attack:rotfl::rotfl: thank you very much for that but it is the big one he wanted not the micro, I am sitting here in my dressing gown with visions of rushing back to argos to get the money back to buy that one but fortunately panic over:rotfl::rotfl:
