    Information I have read on the internet goes as follows. They were created specifically for the advert. However, Orange will be selling them in their shops in the form of a wind up toy and a key-ring type thing from mid-december, and profits will go to a charitable cause.

    Unfortunately I can't guarantee the details of this info as the internet is a weird place where weird people say weird things (points at self), but I know I'll be looking in the orange shops mid-december :)

    My guess is what I have just said is the miraculous info ebay sellers are selling, and those losers will be the very people who use their job seekers allowance to catch the bus and to buy loads to stick on ebay to sell for more than cost price.

    Post might be better in the "i wanna buy it or do it" forum but I am sure mods will move it there if they find it :)

    Hope this helps.
