Hatchimal

[TreeBird16]

My 6 year old wants a hatchimal. They are only be released so theres no reviews but the ads are on tv 10 times an hour. Are they going to be a big thing this year? I cam discern much from the little there us online. Are they just a big tomigotchi (sp?).

Interested to hear is anyone else considering them. It would be the big pressie this year as they are getting a trampoline berween thwm

We're currently hatching one dd chose for her birthday. Taking fucking ages!

Keep us posted Gin on how it is.

It's like a mini furby - not worth the ££ if you ask me....

In all its glory.

That's not like the egg on the adverts?

That's what's in the egg!

the thing on the bottom is the nest not the egg

Wait! It's better than a furby!!

It's got an off button! Hurray! !

Are the hatched toys any good? Or is is actually just about the hatching?

Those who have both - would you get a furby or one of these?

I'm so undecided. Thank you

Ah ok! Cute that has a nest

Im debating theses for the girls ( 6 and 8)

DD1 already has a furby that gets occasional use so not sure this would be much different. DD2 has requested a furby but i'm thinking its only because DD1 has one and shes quite protective over it.

I remember Furbies used to interact with each other, its fun and they must be cheaper now?

Lol almost bought a furbaca at toysrus today.

Interested to know how these compare to furbies? Ds has asked for a furby for christmas but wondering if this would be more interesting? Never had a furby either. Thanks!

Anyone know of anywhere that lets you preorder for when stock is available?? Looks like they sell out in Minutes!

no but found a sight that is updating stock info
www.stockinformer.co.uk/checker-hatchimals

Site not sight

Can you hatch it more than once? Do you throw the egg away? Ds wants one, but then he does ask for literally every single thing he sees advertised (including Vanish Gold) so following with interest!

My local Tesco extra had them on stock yesterday - about 50 on the shelves and no one was going anywhere near them. They were £56.99. It was DD that spotted them and went over for a look. I think again it's one of those toys that has been hyped to sell out but really there will be lots more stock available in the run up to Christmas. Maybe waiting to the week before Christmas might be an issue but not this far in advance.

I think I will hold out for the toys r us owlicorn as DD is more into owls than penguins or dragons just now. I've get a stock alert email set up so hopefully we should get one before December.

lol our local Asda had them in stock too but display was in homewares in a very odd place.

there's a wishlist trick with the owlicorn as sometimes it only shows as in stock if on a wishlist

Once they hatch, what happens then???
Do they do anything?

Well after deciding I would get one DS has now said he would like one for Christmas. Guess I'm going on a hatchimal hunt!

They are a little furbies. you play with them and train them to talk and play games.

Use the instock site. Thats how I got mine through Argos

Do you need two or more so they can talk to each other?
