    Ok, can someone tell me what the hype is with the Lotso bear? What does it do?

    Saw some in Smyths and noticed it smelled gorgeous(!) but didn't have time to see what it actually did!

    Tesco price match their competitors so it depends which part of the country you are accessing the Tesco website from (it recognises your computers IP address location) as to what price comes up. In the NE, the bear is £35.97 online. I just thought I'd mention it in case people went onto the website and found the price to be different to the one you got. Also could be out of stock in certain areas as well - I just tried to check one out which was in my basket and it came up as out of stock.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    OK - as you all keep talking about these Monster dolls I had no intention of buying one but the more you talk about them the more I think last minute that DD will ask for one, so have reserved a few at Argos. Talk about covering your bases lol.

    Is there one that is more popular/better than others ? or is it personal choice (just incase I get to pick a type)

    Cheers

    Maxi are the lack of stock for the monster high dolls in Argos because they are not really that popular or because they are and don't get many in stock, just checked mine again so that I can change mine as I have all frankenstein and still OOS:D

    They only have Frankie Stein in my local Argos too so I spoke to the lady at customer services who said they wouldn't be getting any more in till the end of October and to go back and check then.

    LOL I don't know :rotfl: There seems to have been quite a bit of hype about them all over the internet so presumably they are popular. I believe the Monster High cartoon already shows in the USA and is coming over here so presumably that's where the hype started. Also, they are a cult thing amongst teenage girls too - not just 'goths' LOL

    It would be interesting to know which wharehouse they get their stock from and go there and swap the frankenstein for the others:rotfl: how come they made so many frankenstein, I am sure there must be a man sitting in an office somewhere saying 'we will cause hype, they will be lack of stock and it will be impossible difficult to get all the dolls, we will make millions out of this':rotfl::rotfl:

    It can go the other way though, if you can't get them you might go and buy something easier to find, my nieces have asked for them, love them and I don't mind the hunt so they have picked the right person to track them down:D

    From what I have read all over the internet, Clawdeen seems to be quite in demand as well as Frankie Stein, then Lagoona. Draculaura doesn't seem to be as in demand for some reason.
