Still loads left tonight(8ish or even later) at the Trafford Center, Manchester

I wonder if they're not as popular as they expected them to be or if they just bought more than last year after the big rush

My local Boots was sold out today managed to get one online.
With regards to Ebay and the high selling price i wonder if there are bidders in Scotland who are worried about delays from major retailers and them not arriving in time? maybe their local stores are out too?:cool:

I'm really glad to hear of people getting bargains,I'm all for it,thats why I am on this site.
However,is it really fair of Boots to sell these items to regular customers for £60 a go only to reduce them to £25?
Again good luck to everyone who got at reduced price.:T

Do the people buying on Ebay not know ASOS have them for £44? lol

I have 2 being delivered to Peterborough - now not needed, if anyone wants one let me know, I'm not looking to make anything from it.

I think it depends where you live - my local had sold out on the day it went on offer.

Same here. Last year I dithered because I wasn't sure whether I wanted it, went along to the Boots store at lunch and they had sold out although I saw a very smug man walking around with one in his basket that he'd managed to find. SA advised that was the last one and people had been queuing around the block since 7.00am for them. Have ordered mine online. Not bothered if it gets delayed as it's mainly for me anyway. x

I don't see it as unfair. At the end of the day the customers who have bought the OOTW are not VIP customers in any way, just savvy and prefer to wait for that price drop. I work with someone who has passed up many savings because she wanted to buy her Christmas presents early - it's a matter of choice not Boots having preference to customers.

Meant to also post that it's sold out online now. x

I ordered yesterday at 6am and have received the order confirmation email but not the dispatch...

I'm hoping it'll still come! It's a lovely treat for myself!
