Please help me find a Playmobil RC (remote control) unit.......

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

....at a not inflated price (is that too much to ask?!)

I looked last week, Hamleys had it. I dithered. Now they don't

I cannot find it on their online shop - the product code comes up woth nothing.

[SnowMuchToBits]

What price were you looking to buy it at? Amazon have it at £49.99

[ChippyMinTurnAgainWhittington]

playmobil's own website?

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

It's £30 at Hamleys.

£50 is too much.

I think up to £40 would be ok.

[SnowMuchToBits]

Can't find it currently on Playmobil own website Chippy....

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

I can't find it anywhere on their own website, even searching with the product code

[SnowMuchToBits]

pixmania have it for £40.87 but don't know how much delivery is.

[SnowMuchToBits]

Or Heritage gifts £41.00 again don't know delivery cost.

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

This e-bay seller doesn't have much history, but it's a fab price here

Do you think it looks ok?

[SnowMuchToBits]

Looks ok to me - they have 100% +ve feedback, so should be ok.

[ChippyMinTurnAgainWhittington]

I have sprout envy !!

Apologies, I thought you meant you'd looked on Hamleys online.

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

That's what I want but I've not bought a lot on e-bay before so needed some other opinions - thanks!

Wish DH was here to offer his opinion - he's away with work until Friday, not very easy to contact by phone (well phoning him is easy, him actually answering is a different matter!) and hopelessly unreliable at looking at his e-mails!!

Think I might go for that one then.

[SnowMuchToBits]

I've bought on eBay quite a bit (including Playmobil) and I think even if someone hasn't been there long, if they have good feedback they are probably reliable. That would only be £40 inc delivery.

Lol at your sprout envy Chippy!

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

I can't find it on heritage gifts - it just offers links to loads of other places

Am I doing something wrong?

[BrianAndHisBalls]

I'm not sure I'd buy that one, they're in the Czech Republic, it may not get here on time.

[SnowMuchToBits]

If you Google Heritage gifts, then click on Toys. Then click on Playmobil. Then click on Playmobil remote controls, you should find it....

I have bought from Heritage gifts before, their delivery is usually fairly quick.

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

Thanks, I didn't put a hypen in the web address!

Just off to see what they've got.

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

Now I'm in a dither!

Not sure about e-bay in case it doesn't arrive on time.

Think I'll phone playmobil, Hamleys and Heritage gifts in the morning and make a decision once I've spoken to them all!

I wanted to order it tonight, but I guess another few hours isn't too long really.

[SnowMuchToBits]

Have you decided yet ?

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

Playmobil are completely out of stock for this year.

Hamleys don't know when they will get more stock (probably not for a while I would think!!)

Heritage gifts have 2 in stock - one is earmarked for me - hooray

Phew - that's a lesson learnt not to leave things once we've decided that we want them!

Thank you everybody for your help and ideas.

[sazm]

ooh our local toy shop has it at £59.99,they said thats the rrp on it!

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

Well that's not quite true!

How very cheeky of them - where's their Christmas spirit?
