Has anyone found where they have Barbie Swim Puppy in stock? Preferably for the same price as Argos, think its £16, have seen iit in Next but its £22!!

We got this from Smyths for £16 the other day. My daughter loves to play with it because it's water LOL But I warn you right now, it's a nightmare to put up.. the plastic tubes are so hard to get in the swimming pool.. AND.. the dog that's supposed to swim.. he just paddles on his side like a dead dog floating!!:eek:

No worries - I've got him from Findmeagift but only cos I wanted some other stocking fillers for the kids and there was a £5 off £30 code.
My DS is going to love him!

Edited to add he's on pre order at the mo - heres the link to Findmeagift if anybody's interested - found some reasonably priced stocking fillers and there's a code on homepage for £5 off £30 spend (and Quidco 10%)

Really? It got good reviews on the Argos website, I always check.

DD also wanted the Rainbow Art thing but apparently that is an awful buy!

Why isn't chatimals on the 3 for 2 offer at Argos - I thought all toys were?

It's under novelties so not classed as toys, I think.

Good thread ! I am anticipating problems getting the Leapfrog Leapster Explorer (in pink of course) because I'm spending sooo long fishing arund trying to get it less that RRP that it will no doubt go out of stock leaving me with a sobbing 4 year old.........

They have it in ELC and you can use a muller little stars 20% off voucher instore to get the price down to £48 or use it online, free delivery if over £75

when she gets older I am sure I will spoil her with all the things she is not meant to have ... if for no other reason but to annoy her dad

Perhaps we got a faulty one? My daughter never mentioned anything wrong with the dog so I guess unless you errr.. test it out for yourself, purely for experimental purposes:p then you never know:D

I'd still recommend it just for the pool and that my daughter has loads of fun splashing and messing in water:j
