Look at it this way, The cached page from 7 days ago said they had 6 in stock, now its saying 3, strange that it updated in the last 7 days but not now, and the fact that it said £70 and now 70p yet no apparant discount, then add to that the fact that it now appears they have charged everybodies cards. If you were really cynical you could argue that it would be a great way to borrow some money for a few weeks, especially since they are in financial trouble (alledgedly), because there is no way at all that they could issue you all with chargebacks tomorrow, it would take days if not weeks. Just a thought.

Good point but am in a good mood ATM, so putting your idea out of my mind ...FOR NOW. May be back in few days time to rant though should the need arise lol;)

i know i probably should but i'm worried that i'll get one, and there will be a sweet little 4 year old somewhere who couldn't get one because they were out of stock!

Are they allowed to refuse the order once theyve said they are going to send it out?

Just purchased 10. If I get them delivered without any hiccups and no-one else does, does anyone want to reserve one from me for a special knock down price of £50 lol♥
