    Many reductions on the design a friend range too, I remember an offer around christmas on these dolls and many posters mentioned how pleased they were with the quality.

    Thank you OP. I've reserved a few bits, but as I've just gone back to one of the pages, the prices have gone UP!
    The baby pool that was £4.99 when I reserved it is now £9.99, and the Handy Manny trike is now £24.99.

    the trike is still £8.69 in my area. perhaps its "old" boxes they are trying to get rid of to make way for new designs. and when the old ones go in each store it goes back to full price?!
  • i would expect at about 8.30pm when the stores close (depending on if its a retail park or town centre store). There are 3 in my local, if you get fully desperate i would be happy to pick it up and send it to you via courier, but then that's added cost etc. :(

    Thank you so much for the kind thought:D - really appreciate it - thank you! I will keep checking back & hopefully find one soon!

    ok good luck :). if you cant find it let me know, i will get one and i can invoice you for it through paypal as if your "buying it" from me, that way you're protected (obviously wouldnt expect you to just hand over money as you dont know me) :).

    right, off to do some cleaning as sitting here all morning buying toys has not been very productive :D . have fun everyone

    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    I am useless with stuff like that! On Amazon it says the boxed weight is 6kg, but the courier websites all asked for box dimensions.... so I got stuck :rotfl:x
