I had them in my hand - considered them and thought I would get them nearer the time
And now they are gold dust
Lesson learnt
If anyone knows anywhere that gets them in especially the unicorn ones please shout up

I am overseas and just had a look online at our local department store and they have loads, but they all look like monkeys.

I think the unicorn ones are Toys R Us only.

I signed up to the stock alert on toys r us for the unicorn one. I got one that way. Dd got a monkey one for her birthday in June and they were everywhere! It's not even a new toy, just Christmas hype. Good luck!

I bought some on Amazon and when they arrived they were all knock offs, despite saying Genuine Fingerlings

Toys r us has the blue, purple and turquoise in stock this morning. I was ordering something else but saw them advertised, clicked on the link, added to basket and checked out. Didn’t seem very hard to get. Not like last years hatchimal Wink

I got one in asda yesterday so it's worth checking out local supermarkets. It was the turquoise one.

I pre-ordered the sloth from Smyth's but when I went to collect last Thursday there were lots on the shelf and it had been two days since their delivery. The Argos set with frame and two monkeys for £29.99 is really good value but it's hard to find stock anywhere.

I got the one from argos 29.99 with 2 monkeys and climbing frame.

I checked website everyday at 7 am and finally reserved one this week.

Also ordered a unicorn one on amazon.

@Cockmagic - I'd be wary of the unicorn from Amazon, check carefully to make sure it's not a fake. The unicorns are an exclusive to ToysRUs.

Ah Casablanca I'm glad you told me . I've put a pretty order in will double check and cancel if it's fake.

I've just pre-ordered the pink one from Smyths. Not due in until the end of November.

@Cockmagic - unless someone's bought from ToysRUs and reselling at a big mark up then it's most likely a fake as Amazon aren't selling the unicorn. At the moment it's only available from ToysRUs.

Ferriswheel DS aged 5 has asked for one for Christmas (so Father Christmas has done an 80 mile trip to find one Hmm) and my SIL's nephew aged 6 has asked for one too.

For anyone is the West Midlands, I found unicorns at the ToysRUs at the Solihull Sears Retail Park this morning. A couple on the shelf and more at customer services desk.

cock I got that too I thought it was good value as its the same price for two F anyway and you sort of get the swing set for free.
