New 2005 Furby - available already at Argos

I read in the paper today about the new Furby that is supposed to be the toy for Christmas.

I did a search for it online and could only find it for sale in America. I phoned Hasbro, the manufacturers and was told that it would be another week before it was going on sale here.
After yet another search I found a link that said I can get it in Argos. Did a search at Argos online and managed to order one to be picked up.
I now have a Furby that isn't supposed to be on sale yet, it's not even in the new Argos catalogue. (at least I couldn't find it).

Oh great, the original is still going strong in our house.It frightens the life out of my dog every time it wakes up.Don't think I can cope with a new improved version but thanks for the warning!

Oh no, don't tell me they're that bad, I just bought one for my daughter.

We put our furby (yes ours is going strong too) in the wardrobe to put it to sleep or smother it with a duvet :eek:

No, you have it wrong there, they sound much, much worse than a baby

we have THREE!!!! of the little darlings!!!! :eek:

I found that wrapping them in cling film and putting them to the back of our top shelf in the cupboard put them to sleep for good!!

:j :j :j :j

The new ones look just as threatening so get the clingfilm from the supermarket at the same time!!!

you know you can pick the original ones up on ebay for like £3 -£5 each now.

So you can have 1 new one, or a community of old ones!! :eek: :eek:

the new ones have an off switch, hurray!!
