    If anyone is looking for bitty buttons / lalaloopsy in the Durham area Smyths Toys have Jewel Sparkles, Pillow Featherbed, Bea Spells a Lot and Mittens Fluff n Stuff

    I am still searching for Spot Splatter Splash but she is nowhere, I am seriously thinking about buying her from ebay before the prices go crazy.

    After all the go go madness last year I'm pleased to say my little girl still plays with hers and I've bought her a couple of new ones for this year .. a hedgehog and something else but that will be it as I still struggle to put all the set together.

    Maxi - you were a star last year when it came to go go's so another big thankyou !

    Toys R Us at Teeside Park had lotso bear in during the week if anyone was after him ?

    i had a similar situation a while ago, it turned out that the manager had deleted the res no so that he could have it, (member of staff on the till told us this) luckily he wasnt there and we were able to purchase the items so it was his tough luck. flammin annoying though.

    ooh that happened to us with a Nintendo Wii, needless to say I didn't leave the store until it was in our possession ... it's shocking to think they try and get away with that.

    We also had a similar experience with the barbie and ken Toy Story twin pack at the Disney Store, I rang, they had one and put it to one side but when I made the 30 mile trip to pick it up it had gone !!! The Manager thought a member of night staff had taken it and was really apologetic and they restored my faith because when they received new stock they sent us one free of charge :)

    Hi guys, just for info they have the Frankie Stein Monster High doll in Toymaster in Exeter, none of the others though.

    After the hamster hunt last year, (I still have nightmares with alarms going off in my head, and still cant watch Enjie Bengie without having a flashbacks, I think it was big rigs horn that sounded like the hamster alarm) I tried to be organised this year, bought my TS3 stuff back in the summer, have got 2 chatimals hidden away, a monster high doll, and barbie stuff, DD1 has just written her christmas list with none of this on it!!! So I am now using my psychology skills to make her want what is hidden in the loft!

    That was really good of them. Nice to see big companies caring for their customers :)
