Thank you! I've tried to find a store where it's in stock. Will keep hunting. If anyone knows that this wonder dog is available at their local store, please let me know. I'll travel to get it!

They're coming back in store in Argos on 30th November... Right...

Our smyths says next stock jan 2014! Not very helpful. Who knew it would be so popular.
I can't get on the argos site to check our nearest as the website is struggling but will have a look when I can get on. I'm not hopeful though...
Surely somewhere will have them in stock by christmas.

AtticusMcPlatypus · 06/11/2013 09:52

Just had a quick Google - in stock at Toysrus Cribbs Causeway, Bristol.

there is one available at plymouth argos Smile . HTH

AtticusMcPlatypus · 06/11/2013 09:59

Another search of ToysRus - loads in the south: Poole, Reading, Oxford, Milton Keynes, Coventry (not really south, but came up in the search), Gloucester, Southampton and Swindon. Don't know how far you are willing to travel though. I remember queuing at stupid o'clock for some Teletubbies toys when mine were little so I know how frustrating it is when they want something that is like hens teeth to track down!! Good luck Smile

Excellent. One happy DD come Xmas Day then!

clarebear1 · 12/11/2013 07:29

I'm also in desperate need of this dog too if anyone can help. I'm Erith Kent x

Guccidayoneday · 12/11/2013 11:01

cleatbear1 if your still looking, I've just ordered Lucy the Dog from very, it's a little bit dearer (£33) than Argos, but my Argos and all surrounding have been out if stock for some time.

bernie85 · 12/11/2013 18:57

guccidayoneday thank you so much. I have been searching everywhere for this toy and it seemed to be sold out everywhere until I came across this post and checked very. I now have mine ordered and if all going well with the delivery I will have one happy little girl on Christmas morning. :)

clarebear1 · 12/11/2013 20:33

Ooooh thanks ill look on very now x

clarebear1 · 13/11/2013 21:37

Got mine from very :-) typical now tho all my local argos have them in stock today x

BuzzardBird · 14/11/2013 12:32

Out of stock in Very now, anyone got any other idea? Worcester/South Birmingham area. TIA

Mittensonkittens · 14/11/2013 13:18

I'm in kidderminster and have just checked the local stick for you as would have fetched it! But no luck anywhere. Cannot believe this dog is so popular! Smyths toys still saying feb 2014 for stock.

NotAQueef · 14/11/2013 13:23

If anyone is still looking for one - my local store (Colchester) has one available to collect in store in 4 days.

BuzzardBird · 14/11/2013 15:50

Oh thank you Mitten I had checked Kiddi as well as quite near.

I have found that L.Spa is showing one to be in stock in 4 days too Queef but not sure whether to just wait until shops re-stock or drive to Leamington (long way to go for a toy IYSWIM?)

Mittensonkittens · 14/11/2013 16:11

There are plenty on eBay, the cheapest for about £55 with p and p.
I think I'd just do that. They might get even more expensive if no where gets them back in stock until after christmas. They seem in very high demand!

The cheapest is £53. I'd get I'm quick, apparently a million people an hour are viewing it. Well not quite, but a fair few!

Is it wrong that I wish I'd stocked up on Lucy the dogs which I could have the sold on to desperate parents at profit?!
