EXPIRED Furby Boom at Toys R Us

Hope this hasn't been posted before.
I was looking to get one of these for my daughter for Xmas and seen them on the website for £39.99 but not available to collect and out of stock for delivery (typical).
I called my nearest store and they advised they had them in stock but at full price. Explained their website situation and was told that they would price match as unfair that not avail to click and collect.

so went in, chose what I wanted, took it to the till and they price matched.
I'm pleased with that, hope it helps someone.:D
I know these were big last year, not sure if they will be this year but my DD was too young.

    I am guessing they must have had plenty in stock at that point and I missed the boat as usual!

    I got mine from Amazon - only this years furby boom will work with the new furby app so watch out for this if it's important for your child to be able to do that. My son loves his tablet so this will be a big hit for him at Christmas!

    Are they any good? I only ask as I know so many furbys are now sat in toy cupboards after last year?
    “Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you, no matter what. If you don't listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won't tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff.”
  • Mine is in the cupboard, thought it was a waste of money. No button to switch off so need to wait till it falls asleep to get it to stop then make any noise and it will wake up. Drive me mad, luckily the batteries don't last long or would have gone out of window.
