    Just back from Middlesbrough. not much there at all - less than last year when I went towards the end of the sale!

    Got the Mickey Mouse but not much else.

    I was disappointed with Middlesbrough as well. Didn't get anything off my kids lists. Didn't see a dancing Mickey though! No Kidizoom cameras, Octonauts, Animagic rabbit, Moondough or Lego Duplo :(

    Back from Lordshill - went just after 8am & was like we'd missed the party!! Empty shelves & only the bigger toys left. Good luck to anyone who got what they wanted.
    Bitterne, Southampton was good-tones and re-stocking

    Got to Bitterne just before it opened at 8am and people were queueing. Had to drag my 2 kids along and thought it was going to be a nightmare. We got in and most people went to get the lego.
    I send the kids in to get whatever they liked and then sorted through the toys. Spotted some lego hiding on another shelf and got loads of lego city.
    Came out with loads of toys for christmas and birthdays. The 4 extra hands were great. Told the kids they can choose one toy each today and the rest we pack up and post to Father Christmas lol. Seemed to work and no tears.
    probably saw you at 8am this morning, not too bad was it?

    Went to Leeds white rose for opening this morning and i have to say i was quite dissapointed with the range there to say its a big store. Mainly had pre school type toys, not much lego, no toy story items so trekked upto moortown store. To say its a smaller store it had equally as good a stock as white rose. Again no decent lego or toy story items. Sooooo then i went to greengates store again as the other 2 almost identical items in the shop.

    Has anyone seen any harry potter lego or the lego creator stuff in stores?

    xx

    Moortown had a small display of Star Wars (clone trooper, ewok adventure), small Alien Conquest and Lego City (power boat, fishing boat, satellite launch, camper, tractor) at opening, White Rose had similar according to the shelf labels. M also had small Creator, Pirates of the Caribbean and Bricks and More pink box.

    Hope this helps.

    Please keep checking the prices though put al ot of the lego back as it was cheaper 342 either at argos or boots or with the % discount at Toys R Us some of the stuff was heavily over priced to begin with;)
