For those that where helping me look for Star Wars light sabers can you believe the one that my son wants is the mini one that where actually free with Mc Donalds happy meals a while ago! .
I found this info out after having to ask his friends mum as he has his heart set on the exact same one his friend has!:eek:.
I asked at my local Mc Donalds today & the nice lady checked in the back for me, but no! so unfortunatley looks like it's going to be E-Bay for this little stocking filler!:mad:.

Why don't you contact McDonalds Head Office and see if they can help - or try the second hand shops because if they were free with the Happy Meals, loads have probably been sent to the charity shops already

was anyone still looking for Harry Potter Lego?

The Hogwarts Express 4841 set has just been reduced on amazon!

I happened to go on there just to check before I was about to buy it on lego.com and found the price reduced (it was showing full price on the shopbot at that time!) to £61.49 (full price is £79.99)

We've been watching the Harry Potter lego for a while and it hasn't been reduced anywhere, so this is a great price!

wanted to pass it on in case anyone was still looking!

Good find, still around £79.99 in the main well known stores. Here is the link to it http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_26?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=lego+hogwarts+express+4841&sprefix=lego+hogwarts+express+4841

Hi
Yes I did send an E-mail last night to the Head Office to see if they could help in any way or know where I could get one. It seems so trivial to anyone else but you know how little ones get when they have there heart set on something! so I'm trying my best to make sure he has one as a stocking filler as he keeps going on about it! Why could he not like one I could buy in a shop! tut!. Charity shops are a good idea too, I shall have a trawl round as my town is slowly becoming over run by them.
Thanks rolandrat48.

What does it look like? I have a couple of them upstairs.

My son's favourite light saber is a cheap one for the wii, he loves the way the light travels up and down it when you switch it on and off. He doesn't play on the wii, he just uses the lightsaber on its own

Its a mini one, that lights up & has a circular Star Wars tag attached to it. I did think about the Wii controllers too (only £2.99 for two at Argos) so these I think may be worth buying anyway, but i'll still see if i can get the mini one he loves so much.
This seems so silly but to my little one it's so important bless him!Lol!
Thanks jellyhead.

I think you'll pick up the McDonalds lightsaber really cheap on ebay anyway as I've just looked at the completed listings and the last 2 went for £1.78 + £1.75 P&P and the other went for £3.07 with £1.00 P&P.

Current listings are:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mcdonalds-Star-Wars-Light-Saber-Lightsaber-X-2-/110621878676?pt=UK_Toys_Games_Fastfood_Cereal_Sweets_Toys_LE&hash=item19c193e994#ht_500wt_1159


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/McDonalds-Star-Wars-Clone-Wars-Happy-Meal-Toy-NEW-/150529545414?pt=UK_Toys_Games_Fastfood_Cereal_Sweets_Toys_LE&hash=item230c4294c6#ht_500wt_1159

You could always message the sellers and make an offer based upon the cost that previous listings have gone for.

Just a heads up to everyone Tesco 3 4 2 on toys is on in store as well as online. Went this morning, there was no advertising and even staff said that it was only online, but they go though at 3 4 2 at the tills. Obviously deciding not to promote too much.

Is anyone else still looking for Playstation Move controllers without the starter pack? They seem to have been out of stock everywhere for ages. Unless you want to pay £50!
