Furby running out fast!! Don't be caught out.

I thought this might help a few out. Like previous years there is always a popular toy that everybody wants and this year it appears to be the Furby.



There are 6 colours.

By far the most popular is the Purple/Pink one which is sold out everywhere. So it really is a 'quick, grabbit while you can' as unless you get one soon, it is unlikely you'll get one for Xmas. Other colours include the ones below.

Teal/Blue
Purple/Pink
Red
White
Yellow
Black

At the time of typing this the Teal/Blue and White ones are also SOLD OUT in many shops.

Surprisingly the Red Furby is still in stock at a few stores - the cheapest being the entertainer at £54.99. Also the Black one at the same price.

But all you furby fans out there the Yellow Furby is currently available at Amazon for £48.99 delivered.

They had quite a few in Tesco Sandhurst earlier today (didn't notice colours though, as we've already got a pink/purple one for our daughter)

That appears to be the hardest one to get. The catalogues Studio/Very/Littlewoods/Isme etc have no stock left at all.

Does make you wonder whether the manufacturers limit stock to fuel demand. Doesn't help parents though. My little lad has just seen the Tesco advert and wants one. But Tesco Direct have none at all.

There is a good site (not related to it in anyway) which I've been keeping an eye on. It will show you just how short stock is.

Already the purple ones are going for £80 plus. Last one sold for £85.

I might have to do just that. Maybe they are having all the stock for the stores rather than online. Checked Argos tonight. Can't order and all stores within 30 mile sold out - except for a couple of yellow ones. I want a blue one.

Am so pleased, got my daughter her one last weekend, she brought it with her birthday money. It's actually really cute, not a bad toy, although the chatter gets old very quickly!

They had loads in Costco when I was in (Sheffield) the other day.

Didn't want one so didn't check the price - maybe someone else could look.

Costco are usually a few quid cheaper than retail shops - I bought Hex insects set for £22 when it's about £30 elsewhere.

Crikey, I threw 2 of these out about a year ago!! I'd had them for 8 years too!!

Might give Costco a go too. They do super mince pies this time of the year and they where on for a visit anyway.

Hi my first post but wanted to let you know I bought these furbys in October for my girls and have been through 4 sets of batteries and that's without continual usage. My girls after one month no longer play with them so ok for a passing fancy. Hope this helps people.
