Public Service Announcement regarding Pie Face game by Hasbro

I've spent all afternoon trying to buy one. Argos, Tesco, Toys R Us, The entertainer and Smyths all sold out.

I do appear to have managed to buy one from Asda for £19.99 though. Will let you know if it turns up.

They are up to £40 bloody quid on Amazon, and £25 plus on Ebay. Angry

I don't know, so don't take this as gospel, but I have heard this suggested as an alternative to Pie Face, on another site.

www.thetoyshop.com/games-jigsaws/childrens-games/Splat!-Game/p/523949?gclid=CjwKEAiAvPGxBRCH3YCgpdbCtmYSJABqHRVwBun-sLRY5oR-tF_AROwb4kZTnxdCISnIlFZFLgdzQRoC4f3w_wcB

I am merely repeating what someone else said. I don't know either game myself I don't want to be responsible for disappointed children on Christmas Day but thought I would post in case it helps someone out. - The Entertainer do free click & collect too. Smile

It's this years thing, they'll get more in.

I'm glad none of mine have asked for this yet then!

I'm steal shaking from the trauma of finding a Lucy two years ago & a bloody singing Elsa last year! I got both in the end but not without a few extra grey hairs!

We bought it for a Halloween party a few weeks ago. All DH's work friends have gone crazy and have bought/looking to buy one for themselves. Is it really that big a craze?

Never heard of it but, because I'm bloody nosey, out of interest I searched our local Argos stores - out of stock at all stores within a 10 mile radius.

Mind you it's got excellent online reviews.

Hope your order turns up Cat

Bought one months ago.

DC Love it and beg to play it all the time. It's fucking messy and annoying.

Keith, I ordered from Asda and was surprised how quick it was delivered.

Can't wait to play it.

I got it a month or two back, glad as it seems to be out of stock within 20 miles of here!

I got one in The Entertainer today. They apparently got a delivery of 12 today and I got the last one off the shelf.

DD played with one at a friend's house a couple of weeks ago and hasn't stopped talking about it since.

I know it's going to be messy, and dd will drive me nuts to play it constantly, but other than a frozen bedroom it is the only thing she's actually asked for. Had no idea it was going to be such a sell out! Shock

I have one supposedly reserved in Argos - pickup tomorrow/Monday. Fingers crossed it's actually there! Can't believe it's so hard to get.

I just looked at a YouTube review....the man and his son were peeing themselves laughing which was quite infectious.

That said I think it would be fun to play with your kids exactly....once.

Sorry to sound like broken record, but back on Amazon 14.59. Just pre ordered one- I moved quicker this time!

I ordered this on very this morning so worth a check, they have 20% off their toys at the moment so the game was £16.
Postage is either £3.99 or free click & collect from various shops.
I was given by them a free delivery code but unsure if just for me, but worth a try its 6LQVU

I got mine! Xmas Grin

Really thought I'd get told it wasn't in since Argos has been having "technical issues" for a few days.
