Same here! DD wants Bindeez and Bendaroos and some Barbie Fashion set but not a clue what it is and I'm not going to push as a quick Google suggests £50+.

Have to admit I must be lucky as DD hasn't mentioned one thing in this thread but still gutted that all the bargains I've gotten aren't on her mind. I will make her want a gorgeous M&S woollen coat, a Lego sorting box, a plush Hello Kitty and a Biggest Littlest pet shop amongst other things!

snap!i have got the biggest littlest pet shop and a hello kitty from the tesco sale for my dd,i have also got two of the monster high dolls which i have been showing her on the net and trying to convince her that she would like santa to bring them for her!
i have to say im not convinced by the monster high dolls,my dh thinks they are awful,are we sure these are going to be big?

Should we be buying monster high dolls now then if we see them? I suppose we could always sell them if our kids don't like them.

My daughter is 6 and I know if she sees them on tv in October she'll want them. does anyone know what channel it'll be shown on please?

I have 3 ordered from argos. Better to be prepared I suppose!! Not doing the hamster thing again

You can watch on youtube,but there is supposedly a huge ad campaign coming this month,a movie to follow,i got her the book and she loves it....these are right up my daughters street as she loves beetlejuice,addams family and Tim burton movies..as well as toy story 3!!so she is getting quite a mix this year:)
.....when i started looking for them,after seeing them in argos and thinking "i want one",i was amazed at the amount of interest in these in the US..they have a cult following..but if they are not to your daughter taste then ebay them...in the last two days there have been dozens of listings,thanks to argos getting them back in,but once these sell,if they are not in demand by the masses then they still have a cult following so you will be able to sell it on..2 of the dolls have been like golddust for the last 2 months,so if you get the chance go for lagoona or clawdeen they are the hardest to get xxx

have to say Smyths CS is second to none!!i ordered lotso,talking jessie and woody and they were cheaper and faster then anywhere else ...they put argos home delivery to shame x

interesting that a couple of people have said that Clawdeen and Lagoona are the hardest to get. I got a doll from 2 different argos stores and at each one I was given a choice of only these two. Maybe the other 2 are more popular in the NE

I recon Dave the Funky Monkey might be a late call on kids lists.

I now see they do fighting Kung Zhu Hamsters hampsters - not going anywhere near hamsters again this xmas!!

Spotted Dave the Funky Monkey in Wilko's yesterday for £18.75. Don't know how much Hawkins was selling for but Play.com was £24.99

Hope this helps

If anyone is finding things they want in different Argos but are spending the £50/£100 in total that day, then in the 2nd Argos take what you have bought from the other Argos and go to CS desk with your receipt and they will then give you the voucher. I got a chatimals and monster high doll in one (£27 ish) and the same in another (total £54 ish) and they gave me a £5 voucher when I showed them the receipt.

Argos Gateshead Metro Centre AND Washington stores have 4 monster dolls on website.
Argos Wallsend Silverlink AND Sunderland Hylton Park stores have 3 monster dolls on website.
