    On the sun's facebook page there are a few people commenting on there that they can't get hold of the sets, they have replied with an email address to contact, might be worth a try. My OH went yday to find yet again none left, it seems toys r us in particular just aren't getting enough of them in, its pretty frustrating tbh, I mean who can afford to keep wasting petrol and time trying to get them, I know I can't. Anyway don't mean to moan on about something thats free but meh.. My OH was given a number to ring by toys r us yesterday about there being not enough, if anyone wants it let me know, I'm gonna ring it later.

    Seller says they already have saturday's toy in hand - how?! staff who sell on ebay, stopping genuine customers from getting the item in the shop should be sacked :(

    None in Sheffield this morning - a delivery problem, they might have some in later or tomorrow - anyone else had this happen or know if TRU have them?

    Don’t know about TRU but WHSmith (Fargate) definitely not getting them today now… they still hope to have them tomorrow but you’ll need today’s voucher. Annoying today… but hopefully doubly good tomorrow!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    So far we've had no trouble in getting them (Ely), although they sold out of the NOTW on Sunday and I had to go elsewhere.

    notice that the auction doesn't close until late on Saturday. Be it in hand or not, the seller won't be shipping until after the paper had been on sale.;)

    From a conversation I had with a SA at ToysRUs, they have to count up all the coupons and tally them up with the number of toys handed out. Opportunities for staff inspired shrinkage may therefore be limited. Ebay seller may well be resorting to BS.
