Picked up ben and hollys castle from argos , paid 23.99 for it , much smaller than i thought it would be , the figures are tiny so not worth getting for under school age children.

Ok not knowing what to buy my son for xmas this year i saw the paper jamz gutairs and thought that would be great, i then bought the amp to go with it (before you guys said that it was loud enough without the amp). Sat at the dinner table to night and was putting the feelers out about it, and he said" ive seen the drums and they look really cool" LOL. Great im thinking!!! So does anyone know the best price out there for these LOL KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Just seen on Yahoo 'News' that Argos have said that the 'Real Construction Deluxe Workshop' was due to be the most requested gift this year.

I was talking to a couple of staff in one of the big Argos stores and they said they were fed up with people asking for Chatimals LOL. Also there was a big advertising poster for some piece of hardware to connect to the xbox. The guy told me it was going to be armagedon near Christmas for this (he compared it to people wanting the wii).

These are marketed as My Pillow Pets in the US and are sold under licence over here by Pitch as huggle buddies. However....you can buy them as Pillow Pets elsewhere for a lot cheaper, I've ordered three for my kids from here: http://www.arkaysales.com/
There's a limited range of designs but they are a tenner each, rather than £20. Websites a bit crappy, but prices well worth it. Delivery was three quid for one and a fiver for three.

thankyou so much for this!!! i think im going to order the dog
do you think they are as big as the others,as it just seems odd they are much cheaper, looking under my pillow pet on amazon the dog is over £40!

I think so. The RRP is about £20, the Amazon ones are waaaaaaay overpriced. These ones are marked as reduced from £20 to £10 so I'm assuming they are the same.
