To buy from Jordans toy store?

[HeyBuggy]

jordanstoystore.co.uk/

Has anyone used them before? They have a toy that's sold out everywhere else as I think it's quite old. Never heard of them and they don't have an address or a geographical phone number so I'm a bit wary.

Otherwise, has anyone seen a plastic butterfly toy (not fidget popper or a soft toy, it was specifically a hard butterfly requested on a Christmas list) anywhere?!

They have mixed reviews in Facebook. There is a phone number though - I’d call in the morning and see if you get a response.

Thanks. Hmmm mixed reviews is not a good sign when I need something for Xmas!

The two different phone numbers on their site would make me wary.

Is it this?

Also Smyths seem to have it too - but my two locations are sold out. See if they have it near you?

They are actively ripping off the Smyths website.

@outlook email address.

Very sketchy reviews.

The whole thing is screaming scam

It is. Only Argos Aberystwyth seen to have it which is nowhere near, and not available in Smith's near me either.

The request was 'a hard butterfly for playing with, not a soft cuddly one' so anything that fits that description would work but sadly it seems to be an imaginary toy. Apparently Santa can make it though!

If you pay postage will be here before Christmas. a bit pricey when Argos have it for £11

Oh thank you! That's more than I was hoping to pay but is an excellent back up if I can't find an alternative in the next couple of days.

What fits the description "to play with"?

Would something like this work?

No worries, I know so expensive for what it is. I’m still looking lol

If it doesn't have to be a specific toy butterfly what about this set?

I wonder if someone on Mumsnet would collect the one from Argos if you did click and collect then post to you. Maybe start a thread titled ‘A favour from someone in…’ 🤷🏻‍♀️maybe worth a try!

Or something like this (sorry for the mad ebay links)

Also available here - Fakenham Argos.

Not that I have any idea where that is.

Would something like this work? Large rubber one?

Papo and schleich always do lovely animal toys

www.gulliverstoys.co.uk/epages/BT3839.sf/?Locale=en_GB&ObjectPath=/Shops/BT3839/Products/1020145&ViewAction=ViewProductViaPortal

Oooh some excellent options! Can't see any option for express delivery for the eBay ones when I go to checkout and it's estimating 28 Dec.

Gulliver's and insect lore websites look a bit more legit!

And the Amazon one would work too!

I've honestly been searching for hours so this is so helpful.

Will she mind if it's not new and in a box? There are quite a few on Vinted.

I'll check vinted! She's 3 so won't care (which is also why the description is so vague). I'm not sure if it's something she's seen or imagined, but I've already messed up as she wanted a specific unicorn toy from Primark which they don't seem to stock any more so I want to try and make this happen!

As well as the Little Live Pets there's this one which looks like it fits the brief! (sorry no good at fancy links!) www.vinted.co.uk/kids/toys-and-games/educational-toys/2456995902-butterfly-life-stages-figures 

Thank you! I'm spoilt for choice now!

Was it the long legged cuddly unicorn in Primark? Just coz they had them in mine at the weekend and I will be that way on Wednesday so could pick up and post it to u if they still have them?

Thank you that's so kind -I've only just seen this but will try another branch near me if they are still being stocked in some!

I've shopped with Jordans Toy Store a number of times, they are absolutely fine, I've brought loads of Akedo figures and Squishmallows because I cannot find them anywhere else, they also have alot of items Smyths don't have and they are cheaper on some items too, so I don't think they are "ripping off Smyths Toys"
