Thanks

I'd be surprised if they don't, friend who works for sainsburys said Ashton & Oldham stores are the ones to be at round this way

Just been to Ashton and the staff were filling their trollies and openly talking about it. It sort of anoyed me for a minuite but its just a perk of the job and i would love to work there right now, lol.
There wasn't that much in ashton, there only seemed to be 3 or 4 of the things they did have. The had the cookie dog, dancing mickey, hello kitty mega blocks house, the dolls house, play kitchen and checkout etc... it opens at 8 but oldham opens at 7 so going there first.
Does anyone know the the toy selection is like at stockport or heaton park, cant think of any other local stores???
I'm after woody n the girl cowboy from toystory for my little girl. Has anyone seen the anywhere? not sure if sainsburys actually sell them

Heaton park are not stocking toys as its just been refurbished, I saw a Jessie cow girl from Toy Story earlier tonight in Oldham, on the top shelf of their normal toy aisle (the end nearer the clothes). I didn't see any dancing Mickeys though - you didn't happen to see those in Oldham did you? I'm also after a Mega bloks bag in either Oldham or Ashton.

All in Prestwick store, not the biggest store, I would say a medium size, only been open 1year or so.

Popped to the East Grinstead store before they closed tonight and all they had put out were a Peppa Pig kitchen, big remote control monster truck and an easel

Had a wander round and there was nothing else, even the tiny toy section was full up with reduced stationary and plastic cups rather than toys!

I asked a member of staff if they had any more to put out but she said they hadn't and that the manager was really annoyed as a store of their size should have more than 3 items. It's not huge but is classed as a superstore.

Last year I managed to get a Woody and some of the Action Links stunt sets for DS birthday and a few little stocking fillers for both DS and DD. Doesn't even look like I'll get that this year

Tried to convince DH to take me to West Green, Crawley tomorrow but he wont. Gutted!
