I've been through one of the cashback sites looking for toy shops and have added all the links to my big post on page 15. Also sent to OP for front page.

Thanks all but bought it from Play

wow Maxi, thank you for a great post on page 15 you are a Star !!!

I picked up a Littlest Pet Shop Deco Bear tonight in Toys R Us, it was reduced to 6.50 (or something close to that amount) and I thought it would make an ideal little stocking filler. I know Argos have them on the buy two items for fifteen pound offer but I was only after the bear although I did feel like stocking up on them as birthday pressies for little girls.

Disney Store Metro Centre had the medium size plush Lotso bear in today for 20.00, they had at least half a dozen so hopefully that may be a sign they are going to get the little peas in a pod in stock.

I noticed some people were looking for the plush three peas in a pod so I spent ages last week having a look on the internet to see if there were any in the UK. Disney store did have them online but not available as opposed to out of stock and I noticed today that they've removed them all together. Must have had too many people enquiring about them. There are some listings on ebay and Amazon but naturally well over priced due to demand.

I'll pop into Smyths toy shop tomorrow and have a nosey to see what they have in respect of some of the things people have been looking for on here.

I have to admit I'm pleased they've removed their picture from the website as I got all excited thinking they had them only to get the message that they weren't available to order. I was so lucky to get the beanie version of Lotso, Mr Pricklepants and Buttercup - I was in Disney Store in the Trafford Centre and found them stuffed behind some t-shirts but the peas are so elusive !! I'm not sure how accurate this is but Disney do say their stock goes online before it hits the shops but who knows ? I'm hoping to avoid paying over the odds for them.

I really need to take a day off work to go shopping, I want to hit Fenwicks followed by Smyths at Team Valley. I think Smyths have the Barbie and her Horse for the best price I've seen so far.

Thanks for all your help Maxi, who I think should also be known as Santa's Little Helper !! :santa2:

Regarding the Xbox, I know it's a risk but I really recommend waiting longer for deals to come up or you're guaranteed to be gutted. Game always have some cracking bundles leading up to christmas! I am a member on here and Hot uk deals.co.uk (no spaces) and on there is where I tend to see the XBOX deals come up on the hottest deals bar at the right hand of the screen. Also, you know that if it's voted a hot deal then it really is a good deal because the members on there tend to really know their Xbox deals!! Good luck and I hope you get just what you're after

Oh and another thing, if you can, try not to buy the arcade version or you'll be needing to get an expensive hard drive later on too, it's well worth the money to go bigger! Also, this is the kind of thing that's a mega surprise so if you want to keep it that way, pretend it's ridiculous and say things like 'what would you even play on it anyway? It's a waste of money!!' and then hopefully he should fire away some games back to you LOL

For anyone wanting Kinect.. it's already been slated as 'worse than Armageddon' for christmas demand this year. Sales are predicted to top the Wii and once again Microsoft will not have enough stock to meet demand. If you want one, please pre-order yours now!
