be worried over this

[AuntiePickleBottom]

my son aged 4 1/2 years old really want a mr potato head for christmas.

apart from this all he has asked for is a milkshake for breakfast and cookie cutter like mine.

i can't find one locally, what can i tell him so he wont be disappointed on xmas day

You could find a Mr Potato head in Argos, surely? Or Toys r Us?

Disney shop have potato heads, or did have a few months ago. My dd got one.

toys r us is over an hour by car and argos is out of stock

You can't find a mr potato head? They have them in Asda. Or you can tell him that as a special gift he and mummy are going to have a special day out and are going to buy one together.

They have them in Wilkinson's too if you have one of those nearby. Could you make him a mr potato head with a real potato and some craft bits/buttons etc?

I can get the (£49.99) one from Argos. Where are you?

will have to look around, but if all else fails the special day out seems a good back up plan

Amazon? You'll have to fork out for express delivery but you should get it by Xmas.

Hi, in both B&M's and Poundstrecher near me they have a tub/set made up of Mr P head, Mrs P head and a baby P.. about 8.99/9.99

HTH!

Rudolph I hope that price was a typo?!?

almost £50 for a toy, no way would i pay that

I boughht one last year, trying to remember where from..asda? amazon? Know it wasn't very expensive. Tesco direct?

No - it's the walking, talking electronic one from Toy Story.

I've just checked again though and there are a few of the 'classic MrPH' left. £9.99 for them!

Did you find one???I have a brand new in box buzz lightyear mr potato head if you've had no joy can post to toyon morning????

Tescos have Mr Potato Head (about 3 different types).

Hawkins Bazzar

I'd ring around the local supermarkets and google for independent toy shops near you. I tracked down a toy that way.

Wow - there are some really kind and helpful mumsnetters on this thread. No advice to add, but just wanted to say how lovely you are all being!

thanks all, i have a Hawkins Bazzar justopened so will look there.

I've seen a Toy Story one in Tesco - it's a tenner I think.

I bought my dd Mr Potato Head from Toy Story in Debenhams, reduced to £6 in the sale.

Costco had the ones with mr, mrs and the little ones for about £15.

Oh he sounds gorgeous. I do hope that you can find him one.
