Anyone know where 'needoh cubes' are in stock? Are the Ebay ones real?

Do they do fake ones?

DD wants some for Christmas but I can't find any instore and am wary of fakes?

Independant toy shops often have them! I know of a couple one near me in chapel allerton Leeds called armadillo and one in wetherby called treasures. I think there’s one in horsforth too. Maybe they do online orders? Amazing lovely little treasure trove toy shops too!

I have, but they all seem to be out of stock with the online checker and each time I go instore they look at me like I'm asking for Willy Wonkas winning ticket!

Hadn't considered that, I found a place on FB that announced stock but unfortunately were no where near me and didn't do online orders.

I will google local independents and give them a ring.

Thanks for the idea.

I can confirm that the ones on eBay are fake. Got DC one and it burst with little effort.

I thought so, I messaged one and they said they were genuine but my gut said not.

If you contact the independant shops you’ll likely be amazed at the service! I had one of the ones I listed above keep me a needoh advent calendar 🙂

Problem is, the area I live, is famous for counterfeit items and pound shops so all my 'local independent toy shops' seem to be the type of shops that are selling the fake ones on ebay rather than nice shops selling traditional toys.

We did have a proper toy shop locally but it closed down.
