Does anyone have the plush toy that came with a gift set that they don't want? DD ADORES Blue Kangaroo and Tesco took my order but tell me that they don't know when or if they'll ever have it in. DD's birthday is less than 2 weeks away now..........

Ok will try and get 2.

Only fly in the ointment re MW is if I can't get there for Mon just realised it's bank holiday they may not hold them. Will try ringing them to get another one and beg for Wed as more likely.

Don't get too excited I kind of got the impression she thought I was pushing my luck with holding until Mon.

These girls have to have their blue kangaroos

just tried my local (over hour's drive) MW but they don't have it....

sooooooo

if you could get one and post it to me, that would be fab! I don't even need the book, you can keep that or give it as a present to someone you know. I JUST need the Blue Kangaroo toy!

Would you like to email me on klaw at macmail dot com so we can arrange payment and address details?

You will be sainted for this!

Right just rang Mothercare World they have got them I've reserved one, they're holding it for me until Monday if you want me to pick it up.

Oh heck thought we were going swimming Monday we're not as bank holiday but as half term could be going to the zoo that week so will try and get them to hold onto it a bit longer.

Will look in town anyway if you want me to.

They had about 4 or 5 a couple of weeks ago I know as I toyed with getting one for my friends little girl. They're quite helpful in the Torquay branch so try giving them a ring.

Do you want me to look in town on Sat I'll be doing the bookshop thing as the kids want a jokebooknot sure I do!!!!!!!

Mothercare World is further away but I'm trying to get hold of some shoes for ds and if they get them I may be be popping over next week.

Oh MilaMae, that's so kind of you!!!

I tried Mothercare Customer Support who said nothing available.

I tried Waterstones who said the same but gave me a number to try (readers finder or somehting...) which was engaged at the time and said to try later.

Are you sure Mothercare World still has them? Apparently gift box thingies are only available at Christmas and the manufucturer recalls stock when they take it out of print... Arrgggh, are kids not supposed to want them other times of year, like at birthdays?

Can't stop thinking about your little girl(she is rather gorgeous). My dd adores her blue kangaroo so anxious that your dd gets hers.

I'm going into town Sat will look in our Waterstones do you want me to get it if it's there and we could sort out me getting it to you? Don't say I'll CAT you as have no idea what that means.

If they haven't got it in Waterstones I could be going to Mothercare World next week(it's a bit further away so could get them to save one for when I get there). When you ring MW they definately had loads in the Torquay branch at The Willows.

You'll need to keep checking this thread so we don't end up with loads

Thanks for that MNetters, I am trying the online sites now....

But if Tesco and Amazon have no idea if they'll ever get them in again I am worried that they'll never be produced again... am praying that perhaps Waterstones or Mothercare still have existing stock....

Just looked-Waterstones online has it but I'd ring to check how long it would take to arrive.

MilaMae · 20/05/2008 20:22

Our Mothercare World has loads!!!!!! Mothercare will order stuff and deliver for free if they normally stock the item. Is it worth ringing your nearest MW and seeing if they'll deliver it if out of stock? Waterstones is good too, order in store they'll ring you when it arrives, they were good when I wanted Sam's Sandwich-they imported it from the US for me for free!!!!!!
