As far as I know they have all sold out. Same thing last year. They are in stock in a few places at full price however. My DD age 3(4 in dec) loves her dolls and got this last year and after the intial attraction of feeding the doll it got thrown in a cupboard as the doll is har, ugly and has horrible hair. She's spent the last 11 months with her 2 year old baby annibel that does nothing.

I hope this is of some use to you.

Thanks, It does look rather scary to say the least but she's just trying to feed and change her other dolls so was hoping this would keep her amused for a few weeks at least.

They do a lot of dolls that eat now and just a warning the food they provide is basically like a watery soup that is either green or orange and stains the dolls mouth. The bottle is ok as you just provide water but the nappy replacements are expensive.

I am biased because my daughter was so excited about getting it and basically tossed it aside after ten mins of ten of us searching every toy shop at the beginning of december last year.

I bought this for my daughters birthday last week, she took it to bed with her and in the morning the lips had all worn off, the face was very dirty, (she had only taken it to bed with her) and would not come clean, the eye lashes kept getting trapped when it openend and closed its eyes and the mechanics were very noisy. I took it back and got a refund, I think I am going to get the baby born I can swim instead, not at all impressed with baby alive.

What is it with this doll my 9 year old wants this doll :eek: and nothing else and i grudge having to pay £50 for it especially the age she is but it doesnt look like i have an option as she has her heart set on this:mad: Cheapest i can find at the moment is in argos at £45 and there is the new one out maybe that why it is so hard to find but the new version has plastic moulded hair and my daughter doesnt want that one.
