Kevin the sodding carrot

Made the mistake of telling DS that Aldi do Kevin the carrot in soft toy form. Now that's the only thing he wants for Christmas 😩

Has anyone got one previously? If so do I stand a chance of getting him online? Or do I have to get up ridiculously early to get to Aldi?

The ones this year are coming out tomorrow, in store they fly out, never tried online but it looks like you may be able to buy them online from tomorrow. I want a Katie to finish my family but am eyeing the £20 large Kevin but do I really need huge cuddly carrot.
The only way we got my last carrots was my friend who works at Aldi took pity on me and gave me his personal ones and even he couldn’t get Katie

I'm planning on sitting with phone in hand ready for midnight to order online! If not it's going to be an early rise to get to Aldi an hour before it opens!

An Aldi has just opened near me so it's not too bad. Fingers crossed!

i love the adverts with them in.

FuzzyPenguin · 21/11/2018 19:52

I feel it may be a midnight online shop for me too, how I explain it to DH he thinks DS has enough cuddles because of course it would be for him Wink

ThorsMistress · 21/11/2018 21:18

He wants them all 😩 I've got his step mum on the case to get the parsnip and baby! It's annoying it's restricted to 2 per person because some people are so bloody selfish 😡

I like the adverts too. Especially the one where he crashes the Coca Cola truck.

@ThorsMistress i take it some people pulled the same stunt that was pulled when the Mog toys came out.

ThorsMistress · 22/11/2018 00:14

Not loading either

ThorsMistress · 22/11/2018 00:35

DP said it's because they're making him available to buy? I can load the wine page which would normally be great!

Still trying, I"m wanting it for my grandson.

SillySallySingsSongs · 22/11/2018 00:49

Sold out online

George22 · 22/11/2018 00:56

I can’t believe the site has crashed due to a carrot (and a parsnip!)!! 😬

Nissemand · 22/11/2018 01:02

Keep trying, I've just got an order through.

If it looks greyed out, click through anyway - once Kevin's page loads it's still available.

Loads of time outs, it took a few tries.

PsychicPam · 22/11/2018 01:04

I just managed to get one. It took an hour though. And refreshing the page about 300 times

That was fucking stressful

I had to pay p&p too even though it's free over a penny more because I couldn't add anything else to the basket for it crashing Confused

I'm actually properly all out laughing at the thoughts of frantic Mums, waiting online to buy a carrot! Brexit, here we come!
I have been there guys.

HelenaDove · 22/11/2018 01:13

its crashed Oh Kevin..........

MissLadyM · 22/11/2018 01:13

Don't pay the robbing eBay fuckers. There's a Kevin fanclub on FB where 'caroteers' swap items & only charge postage x
