Please, I am desparate.

I am looking for this for ds for Christmas. Its one of his main presents.

We are in Cardiff, cannot find it in Cardiff, Bristol, Swansea or anywhere in between. Was just wondering if some lovely mumsnetter would have a look at their local store, and maybe post if they can get it smile

I would be eternally grateful (and so would ds smile

)

If you're local tesco has a collection point (so as to avoid delivery fee) I have a code for £5 off a £25 spend to get it almost down to the Argos price.

By threetinytots on Tue 02-Dec-08 13:17:59

There is one left in Liskeard but it is an hour and a half drive from us, otherwise I'd get it for you.

Im hoping that spotty 17yr old 'yeah av got loads love' is telling the truth

By SmallShips on Tue 02-Dec-08 13:22:40

I found a free delivery code for Tesco Direct on t'internet, find one and get it delivered to your home, it was definately in stock when i checked.

By Wags on Tue 02-Dec-08 14:40:04

Sorry, had a look at all those near me and not in stock. Am going to ToysRUs in Croydon on Thursday morning. Can ring and see if they have one before I go. They won't hold things though as they have something I want and I rang today but they said they wont put it by so I hope they still have it on Thursday.

Isn't their fiddly site annoying though?? Why can't it just tell you where it is in stock instead of where it isn't. It drives me nuts.

By Watchtheworldcomealivetonight on Tue 02-Dec-08 18:08:27

Ive checked my 5 nearest and all out of stock, have had same problem with something else

By bubblerock on Tue 02-Dec-08 18:12:11

Tesco Direct have it and you can use code TDX-FTYD at checkout to get £5 off, you get 3% cashback through Quidco too. If you collect from your local store it will cost just £34.99 (otherwise add a cheap sim card to your order to get free delivery) smile

By dustyteddy on Tue 02-Dec-08 21:46:01

sorry out of stock here in brighton too. Hope you find it soon smile

By mogs0 on Wed 03-Dec-08 01:20:19

If Tesco Direct have them you can collect from the St Mellons store avoiding their P&P charges.

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
