    I reserved one of each of these lamps and picked them up tonight. I have not tried the lava lamp yet, but the Zeontech Mini Water Vortex is brilliant.

    Just fill it with water and switch on. The water changes through a whole load of colours with a vortex rising through it. Very effective and soothing too. But I would not recommend giving them to anyone other than an adult. (too risky)

    All the shops assistants rushed to get one when I picked mine up. Well worth the £1.99. They are listed at £25 on a lot of sites, and even in Dixons they are £15. Thanks again for this post. Polly:j

    I wouldn' take too much notice if it is showing no stock. I tried to reserve another one and got the same message. :confused:

    However when I went to Currys to collect the reservation, they had loads in stock, so i bought 2 more for presents.

    If you are near Currys I would recommend that you take a chance and ask, after all you have nothing to lose. Good luck. Polly ;)

    For those of you who have reserved any of these items i would try to pick them up asap, yesterday afternoon i reserved a vortex , radio submarine and an icar in black. I arrived at the store to pick the items up about 2 hours later and i was told they had sold all the vortex lamps and had no more in stock i explained i had reserved one and the assistant told me there online system does not guarantee you will get one when you get there? he explained the best he could do was give me the one on display but no box no instructions etc (can't use that as a chritmas prezzie then).So i decided to take the used one on display 2nd item submarine radio no problem then the third item i reserved was an icar in black only to be told they had none of these in stock by this time i was getting a little annoyed and then spotted a stack of icars behind the sales counter so i asked if i could have one the reply i got was oh no there mine:mad: needless to say i was fuming that you can reserve online get to the shop and then it has either been sold or the staff have got them for themselves so oif you have a reservation PICK THEM UP ASAP.
