    Just been on a mission to Smyths toyshop on Team Valley Gateshead - Big shop, loads of toys!

    I had a check for the main things that have been mentioned on this thread just in case anyone in the NE is looking for them:

    Good variety of lalaloopsies - Bitty Buttons branding - no buying restrictions

    Lotso Huggin bear - restricted to one per customer

    Monster high dolls - not that many left - I think Lagoona and frankie stein were the ones on the shelves and they had a small amount of Clawdeen and Draculaura in a pile on the very top - no buying restrictions - yet!

    Chatimals - seemed to have the three different colours - had put a big stock out today but already going quite fast - no buying restrictions - yet!

    My daughter keeps asking for Toffee The Pony.
    Think it's quite popular because it advertises at least 8 times in the Milkshake! ad breaks in a morning.

    Argos has 20% off, but all sold out round me.

    Anyone know if they are any good?

    Do you have a Smyths toyshop near you because they have price matched argos. Only available in store.

    My son has not even asked for anything that is unobtainable and I am still in the xmas adrenalin got to get it rush:rotfl: my 10 year old wants a mountain bike keep looking but don't want to pay £100 for something he just ends up throwing on the ground and he has asked for lego atlantis, I despair with argos everytime they have some discount on lego like the lego city boat last week OOS, lego atlantis this week OOS, chatimals OOS .

    yes I spotted those Moxi dolls in Smyths too but didn't really have a good look at them. They had loads. Which lego atlantis set are you looking for?
