Please help me find Derek!

[Namu82]

My son has lost his beloved soft toy.
Derek the dinosaur got lost a few weeks ago and we have told my son he's gone on holiday to try and buy time.

It's a hamleys T. rex soft toy, they apparently stopped selling them in December
I found one online but it turned out to be a fake site and we are down £30

Does anyone have any recommendations on what I can do or where I can go? I feel so bad he has been a lifetime best friend to my son.

Picture attached incase anyone has seen a Derek about town.

I’ve really tried.
I wondered about the national history museum shop, and living world, but they don’t match.
Only other ideas I had was called the Hamley’s outlet in Swindon? Or trying emailing dinoisle on the IOW? Sorry I can’t help more.

There's one on Amazon, but currently out of stock. :( www.amazon.co.uk/Hamleys-Tyrannosaurus-Rex-Soft-Toy/dp/B01N6DHLIP?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

I'm not sure if this is the same? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/hamleys-soft-dinosaur-toy-/384783611571?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

There's this one www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384783611571?hash=item5996e3f6b3:g:acMAAOSwZlxiH0j5

Maybe Bluewater Hamleys?

Ahh crossed posted with @HunterHearstHelmsley

Is it worth calling the Hamleys at Heathrow on the off-chance?

Not the same one but I've got that one that you're welcome too?
It is missing an eye.

Damm, the photo didn't upload.
I'll pm you in the morning.

Thank you all for reply's, sorry if I'm not getting back as quickly as I should I'm recovering from surgery. Did not know about the hamleys outlet! I have tried to call them this morning but no answer, I will keep trying them. I have wondered if I should try a similar looking one and see if he notices!

Thank you for being so kind, if I can't find anything I may take you up on that.

@Namu82 sure, let me know.

It's here, but looks like a really weird website so not sure I'd trust it?

Actually, I suspect the site I've linked is the fake sight mentioned in you OP!

Ikea have similar dinosaur toys

I hope you find a duplicate Derek and soon.

Hopefully your son will understand if Derek doesn’t return from his holiday and accept that Derek could only afford a one way trip.

My 2 year old daughter is dinosaur mad. These are asda. One giant like I'm talking 6 foot, thank you SIL. One small. Look simaler but mouth doesn't open on small.

Yes that is the one. Luckily I paid through PayPal and managed to get a refund yesterday. It's an odd site I shouldn't of risked it but desperate times and all that.

Thank you that first one does look very similar but I think they must have stopped selling them because I cannot find them on the Asda website.
