Fingerling

I had them in my hand - considered them and thought I would get them nearer the time
And now they are gold dust
Lesson learnt
If anyone knows anywhere that gets them in especially the unicorn ones please shout up

I actually just went on Google Maps to see how far Solihull is from me. 1 hr 45 mins! But far to travel for the unicorn. The search continues!

If anyone becomes aware of stock in around Berkshire/ Oxfordshire/ Hampshire please tell me!

Have you signed up to stock informer? That's how I got my two sloths this morning and they have already been despatched.

RuckingMarvellous · 08/11/2017 19:57

Is stock informer on the toys r us site or elsewhere?

ElsieDee · 09/11/2017 12:56

Anybody in Birmingham,Toys R Us @-St Andrews Retail Park had some stock this morning, there were two left as I left about 30 mins ago, might be worth a phone call although they can’t hold them, and it’s now limited to one per customer xx

ElsieDee · 09/11/2017 12:57

Two unicorn fingerlings that is xx

PorklessPie · 09/11/2017 13:02

Stock informer is its own site not toys r us. I got the lol big ball this way, two sloth fingerlings, hatchimal egg carton and hatchimal nursery Smile

RuckingMarvellous · 09/11/2017 15:47

I’ve just bought one! Whoohoo! Last unicorn in stock from today’s delivery to Reading!! Relieved that Christmas box is ticked.

buckeejit · 09/11/2017 16:18

I've bought the 2 set from Argos but I just know dd will be desperate for the unicorn one when she sees it & there's nowhere near us. Might try ringing now-crap they don't have store check online!

buckeejit · 09/11/2017 16:19

Stock informer? Off to google....

buckeejit · 09/11/2017 16:27

Has anyone played with the fakes? Is there much difference? I don't think dd would care.....

MissRainbowBrite · 09/11/2017 16:32

I got a unicorn fingerling this morning purely by fluke. Happened to be in Toysrus when they were unpacking boxes and they had some. I only called in on the off chance as the website didn’t show any so there must be plenty of stock coming through I think popping in early when they’re restocking shelves is a good idea.

RuckingMarvellous · 09/11/2017 16:38

I have been calling all the local stores daily. The online stock never updates as they don’t hold stock long enough for it to update online.
They’ve been pretty good at telling me when they are expecting a delivery truck but have advised they don’t know what’s coming. So advised me to call after 11 on delivery days to check if they’ve arrived.
They had boxes of them arrive today to Reading, I bought the last one at 2pm!

Popsicle789 · 09/11/2017 16:50

Just rang up my local toys r us store now. And miraculously they were just getting crates off the lorry and yes, they've put one by for me to collect tomorrow morning!

RuckingMarvellous · 09/11/2017 18:01

Fantastic :-)

MammaGnomes · 09/11/2017 19:07

My Tesco had some normal fingerlings in. Not managed to get hold of a unicorn one yet but I'm not giving up

dramallamakarma · 09/11/2017 19:12

Smyths have some colours to pre-order:

www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/fashion-and-dolls/other-fashion-and-dolls/wowwee-fingerlings-blue-baby-monkey/p/158212

I managed to get a glitter one and two normal from the entertainer although I don’t think they are getting anymore glitter ones in before Christmas now.

Hayleywayley80 · 10/11/2017 11:25

I’ve managed to get two sloth ones click and collect in Crawley but rang three toys r us store this morning, Brighton, tunbridge wells and Croydon and no unicorn stock. Brighton didn’t even want to tell me when they have deliveries (helpful). Tunbridge was lovely and Croydon said to ring on days of deliveries. I don’t agree with people buying and selling for such a high price elsewhere! Anyone in the South East find any unicorns in Toys r us, please let me know Grin

OdeToAutumn · 10/11/2017 17:11

Hayley -probably too far for you but toys r us in Uxbridge (Intu) had unicorn fingerlings today.

NoWordForFluffy · 11/11/2017 21:27

DH was checking that the Fingerling we have needed a screwdriver to open the battery compartment, and it does. This may be something to check / look out for on the fakes as you don't want small kids to be able to get hold of batteries easily.

CommonCrisis · 11/11/2017 21:38

Toys r us is Stockport had a delivery of unicorns only on Thursday, they told me they weren’t expected on the delivery but some came in anyway, I just called a few local toys r us to ask.

yeeyeelovesraaraa · 12/11/2017 09:05

how are people ordering these from Smyths? is it in store? the website doesnt give any option to order one & when I asked in my local store they weren't very helpful & couldn't tell me when they'd be getting any more in nor that i could pre-order. I need a purple one!

PorklessPie · 12/11/2017 09:20

@yeeyeelovesraaraa have you signed up with stock informer? That's how I got my two sloths from smyths this week Smile

Nanasueathome · 12/11/2017 09:23

I have pre ordered one from Smyths
They gave expected delivery date between 24th November and 1st Dec

yeeyeelovesraaraa · 12/11/2017 18:44

Porkless no but off to sign up right now!

They did actually have a shelf full of sloths in Smyths last time I went in but my daughter only wants a purple one.

Namas how did you pre-order - was it in store? or on the website?

PorklessPie · 12/11/2017 18:49

My daughter had a purple one for her birthday in June. I can't believe how in demand they are!
