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 was able to pre-order on the smyths website....hoping they don’t cancel!

You can sign up for stock alerts on The Entertainer website that’s how I got my glitter one.

3 collected 2 to go!

Nix32 · 12/11/2017 19:27

How are you pre-ordering? I can’t see an option to.

MajorBumsore · 12/11/2017 19:36

Toys r us in Whiteleys (Bayswater) had a whole shelf of unicorn fingerlings and loads of the monkeys today at 2pm. I bought three!

Stock informer....
Got one from ‘very’ on Wednesday after being alerted by them. Very seem to be getting a handful of stock in daily but it goes in seconds.

Maryann1975 · 12/11/2017 21:04

My dd really wanted one and had one for her birthday a few weeks ago. It has sat on her shelf since then gathering dust. I’m constantly amazed how the media convince all our children they want these things each year and whip us all into a frenzy to buy these out of stock toys.

dramallamakarma · 12/11/2017 21:21

@Nix32 I pre-ordered on 1st November, you’re right the option isn’t there anymore.

Perhaps they are waiting to see what stock they get?

Oh and it was to click & collect not home delivery that might’ve made a difference?

Sold & sent by Amazon so should be legit.

Didiplanthis · 13/11/2017 20:29

There are quite a few reveiws saying these amazon ones are fake. I am wary having been scammed by ones off Amazon that never arrived .

Nanasueathome · 13/11/2017 21:13

I pre ordered last week..the option isn’t there any more

yeeyeelovesraaraa · 14/11/2017 20:06

just got a purple one in my (almost) local tesco! and for anyone still looking, I had an email a couple of hours ago from The Entertainer to say they are now available to order

CA95616 · 15/11/2017 04:55

Just pre ordered 2 from www.thetoyshop.com with dispatch date of 16 December.

SouthWestmom · 30/11/2017 19:11

I ordered the white one from Amazon and it's due on Sunday (originally the 22nd) - it says Woweee or whatever. How will I know if it's fake?

PippaPiper · 30/11/2017 19:16

I've seen them in my local The Entertainer Smile

SouthWestmom · 30/11/2017 21:00

Literally just ordered one in Argos and can collect immediately. Will send the amazon one back if it's a fake.

SouthWestmom · 02/12/2017 20:06

So my Amazon one arrived today and the packaging is identical to the one I collected from Argos yesterday. It wasn't market place it was amazon

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 02/12/2017 20:37

Amazon itself will not be selling fakes. Just don't buy from marketplace.

Smallpotatolove · 02/12/2017 21:26

DH ordered one from Amazon the other day, fingers crossed its not a fake!

Hijklm · 02/12/2017 21:32

I ordered one from eBay. It arrived with the package open. I’m certain it’s fake but I’ve given it a go and I can’t tell the difference and so I doubt ds will be able to.

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 02/12/2017 21:36

The problem with fakes is if they're made with toxic materials, or if the batteries are unsafe etc. It isn't just about what they look like.

If there's no (genuine) CE marking in it, you absolutely can't guarantee that it's safe. I wouldn't risk it, personally.

Hijklm · 02/12/2017 21:39

How would I know if the CE marking was genuine? I’ve looked on the sellers feedback and although a few people have warned about fakes the majority seemed to be happy. I will inspect it.

SouthWestmom · 02/12/2017 22:15

I will post a photo of the unopened packaging of the Argos one and amazon if that would help?

SouthWestmom · 03/12/2017 09:52

Left hand from amazon and right hand from Argos. Argos one now has a crack in foot from being left in a car all night.

Not sure about the paint job on the Amazon one but maybe am paranoid!

Left - amazon
Right - Argos

Sticker with J comes off

If you bought it direct from Amazon it really won't be a fake! If it's from marketplace it might be (high chance it WILL be).

SouthWestmom · 03/12/2017 12:58

Sold by Amazon EU SARL

Just checked the order. The arms and legs seem off white though.

Does anyone else have a white one?
