Santa has been asked for a FurReal Newborn Guinea Pig and is having a little trouble tracking them down. Has anyone seem them in the shops. Toys r Us are out of stock. Cradburys Online Store appears to have them but I have my doubts about the site. If anyone finds any Santa would be very grateful if you could let me know.

My local Sainsburys had them in the half price sale. Maybe try there? Unfortunately sale finished now!

I think that I read on here that there is a voucher in some magazine (possibly OK or Closer, I really can't remember now) for a £5 off a £30 spend at Toys 'r' us...Does anybody know about this and which magazine it's in please, and when it expires would also be very helpful..Thank-you very much xx :-)

I have PM you

Voucher was in Pick Me Up magazine, valid until 21 November 2010.

Paddy Power has tipped Mattel's Jet Pack Buzz Lightyear as the top seller this Christmas.

It’s odds-on at 10/11 that Buzz will outsells the other toys from the Toy Retailers Association's Dream Dozen list, including VTech's Kidizoom VideoCam at 2/1, Hasbro's Monopoly Revolution at 12/1 and Wowwee's Paper Jamz guitar at 10/1. However, the toys posing the biggest threat to Buzz’s top spot include Hasbro's FurReal Go Go Walking Pup, which was slashed from 20/1 to 10/1 and its Nerf n Strike Stampede at 8/1, both of which are proving popular with punters. Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power told Bettingpro: “Buzz has been a big hitter for more than fifteen years now. Kids just never seem to tire of the space ranger.” Paddy Power will settle the result of the top selling Christmas toy in accordance with official figures obtained from Smyths Toys Superstores.

I think someone asked the other day about a FurReal Guinea Pig - just thought I'd mention I spotted the Animagic interactive guinea pig in Wilkinsons today - not sure whether that is comparable but Animagic is one of the brands on the Dream Toys 2010 list. They also have the Real Construction Deluxe Workshop which someone else was asking about a couple of weeks ago. On another note, does anyone know if Wilkinsons have an outlet shop or may be where they get rid of their discontinued items - I was at a funeral yesterday, helped out by washing a million dishes, and broke a plate which unfortunately is a treasured possession of the bereaved's mother in law :eek: Managed to find that Wilkinsons used to sell it (just a basic 20 piece 'Waterside Fine China' dinner set white with yellow gold rim and second thin gold band about 1 inch from the rim) but its now discontinued. They must have sold millions of them as Waterside was their own brand. I've been into Wilkinsons, tried ebay and Amazon, and searched to the far edges of the universe on the internet so far, but with no luck. Wilkinsons customer service also couldn't help.

I can recommend the Animagic one, I had to search high and low for it last Christmas! It is very cute with a lovely little squeak:) Comes with a milk bottle and lettuce leaf!

got an email from the entertainer, all lalaloopsy dolls in stock, including the spot splatter splash and jewel sparkles ones that keep selling out

http://www.thetoyshop.com/toyshop/browse/searchbrowse.jsp?bmUID=1289397060639&bmLocale=en_GB

delivery is £3.95, but if you spend £30 it's free so you could choose one filler £5 item and then get free delivery

hope this helps someone

They are still on reduced price £19.97 at Toysrus. Only got Pillow Featherbed and Bea Spells a lot in stock online at the mo, but they had all of them in stock at my local TRU store (except Dot Starlight).

Dot Starlight appears to be impossible to find, I've not heard of any UK retailer having had her in stock My TRU have them all excluding her, Fenwicks in Newcastle have the majority of them and most larger Tesco's and Asda appear to have stock on a regular basis but no Dot !!
