    Mothercare just price matched the rocket and fireman Sam truck too. Had to call twice though as first woman told me they would only match if they were available online. Thanks OP. will be putting these away for my DD

    i have just rang mothercare and been told they wont pricematch if it is not for delivery. cant be reservation. boo

    Call again. First woman told me that, second person put it straight through. Their terms do state online or in store so it's quite clear really!

    i can never decide what i think of buying-for-ebay buyers. at the end of the day, if i buy 3 of something for nieces/nephews xmas then its me saving money for my family. them buying lots and selling them is also making money for their families. so its kind of "do what you can" for your family. but, when i come to buy something and they have none left because they are all sat on ebay, that really annoys me. and i personally would never buy to sell. hmmm will just stay sitting on the fence on this one and hope i dont get splinters methinks :)

    Well, first they are not registered as business sellers so not paying taxes for a start, then add onto this that they *could* be on benefits so are topping up their benefits by working online and not declaring it..... I will not buy from anyone who is selling lots of new items but is not registered as a business seller as I do not want to condone this, I think it is wrong. That is the side of the fence that I am on.

    Dream Town Collection Strawberry Stables and Fudge the Pony

    http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3846821.htm

    Hope this helps someone xx:j

    I picked up my Fudge the Pony set today and, although it is not specified anywhere in the online blurb or the packaging, inside my box was the gymkhana dress up set.

    This is the set on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Strawberry-Stable-Gymkhana-Dress-Set/dp/B003AZZANY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341505020&sr=8-1

    It says on the Stable box the dress up set is available separately so not quite sure what has gone wrong for Argos but makes the set an even bigger bargain than I thought. :j

    Wow, that really is a bargain! Can I be nosy and ask was it inside the actual Stable box? Have ordered one of these to come into store for my little girls birthday, she will be so excited when she opens it and I will be chuffed to bits if it has the Gymkhana set too as was going to buy that to go with it! Just hope it does actually arrive now! :j

    Yes it was inside the stable box. TBH I am not convinced it is supposed to be there given there is no mention of it anywhere but I am certainly not complaining and neither will my niece be!

    Hope you get it too.

    :(

    Most of these are now on eBay
    (COULDN'T POST LINK)

    You would be a fool to buy the Happy Land rocket from these as it is now down to £16.00 in Mothercare

    Just done Mothercare Price match for this too :j

    I'm Newbie here so be nice

    Just noticed that the Fireman Sam Jupiter Alphabet Rescue is £9.49 and free delivery on Amazon- I know not as good a bargain as Argos but cheaper than Ebay!
    Hope this helps someone...
