Popular Christmas Toys 2010 & where to find them.

hi

i was lucky the other day, reserved a monster high doll at local argos and they bought out laguna blue - i thought she was one of the hardest to find, i really want draculara and clawdeen so have reserved some more nearby, i also got a chatimal from argos - which i think my little boy will love as he loves the "talking tom" on my iphone. dh came in this morning saying he heard on the radio that the fighting zhu zhu's are going to be one of the top toys - but i cant see it myself. really struggling for ideas this year as my little boy loves doctor who but now it has gone off the tele he does not play with his dr who toys so much - if anyone has a doctor who mad son or perhaps for the man who has everything play has a sonic screwdriver wii remote. http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/16097035/Doctor-Who-Sonic-Screwdriver-Wii-Remote/Product.html

I've seen these dolls for sale at toyopia.co.uk/Girls/monsterhigh.html

Have used them before in the past and have always had a good service from them. Quick delivery times and really helpful customer service would certainly recommend them to anyone.

When I saw your post, I ordered these yesterday and they arrived today!! Marvellous!! Thank you so much!!

My DS actually chose to spend £10 of his own money on a ninja zhu zhu in the summer, I was amazed given that all the Go Go stuff hasn't exactly been well played with. He said (once) he wants armour for the hamster for christmas but I am resisting.....

i might get my little lad a ninja zhu zhu, because his sister hates it when he starts playing with hers - i think they are cute but have to resist buying anymore as she only plays with them once every couple of months.

I am looking at buying 2 of the new ipod nanos for my dd's - but cannot seem to get them for much less than the average £129.
Anyone any suggestions.
Have thought of argos and getting £10 off the 2nd one?

Try instore at ToysRus. They have Nanos on offer 8gb for £99.99 and 16gb for £108. This was in the Warrington store where the only 16gb left (as of last night) was Pink. Plenty of 8gb ones left. Plus if you have the loyalty vouchers, you may be able to get more money off (I got an extra £10 by using 2 vouchers) :j

Hi all ,
i know its not a 'toy' as such, but i'm looking for the best price on an X-box 360 (elite i think if thats the new one), i have no idea about these at all really, just wondered if anyone does?
Many thanks in advance :) xx

I know this is a wild card but last year when it snowed sledges were really hard to find, I had to pay express delivery to get some here in time before it melted, so if we get a word of snow, start looking asap.

see thread on the hut and zavvi, they sell paper jamz and sylvanian families, toy story etc, and with a 6 pack of walkers crisps you could get 20% off.

Well this is the link to the Argos one which would give you an idea of a price to benchmark against (its £136.99 down by £13 from original price).

Currys had them at £149.98 but they are not available for home delivery or to reserve online. You could ring your local currys store and ask if they have any in stock.

Hi if you're after the new one you will be wanting the xbox 360 slim, this comes with a 250gb hard drive, built in wireless and also Kinect ready. There is many offers on the console but the best one at the moment is from game £199.99 with free fifa 11 which retails around £34.99 - £44.99 depending on where purchased. It also has Forza 3 free with it aswell which is the newest forza game and retails around £25 - £30 depending on where purchased.

So if this is the one you want then, thats the best offer. If you're wanting the original Elite, then the only place doing them brand new is argos, but it will be difficult to locate stock as this model is no longer being made, you will still get your warranty with the store, but not the three years with microsoft.

With the new Elite slim, you will recieve a year warranty with microsoft, as they're supposed to be more robust than an original Elite, and not as common to get red ring of death.

Hope this helps x
