Those bloody elusive Fingerlings!

[CynophobicSadness]

Can anyone tell me where these silly things are still in stock? Genuine ones, not the fake rip-off ones. Everywhere I've tried so far have sold out.

DS tells me MUST have one, so he's going to ask Santa when he see's him at the Grotto

It was this one which is OoS now. I paid £14.99. It's for a friend's daughter; I got one for DD a little while ago but was helping her out!

I just bought one from Amazon US, guaranteed by 8th December - worked out at £19 with shipping

That's the exact same one I looked at NoWordForFluffy, the axact same link - but they're charging £69.99. It says they're in stock, just charging an outrageous price.

That's a Marketplace seller, isn't it? Mine is definitely coming from Amazon!

I GOT ONE
I GOT ONE
I GOT ONE!!!

Thanks Womble, I tried the Amazon US site. It came to £18.74 with shipping/export fee's. I can't believe how happy I feel to have secured one of these daft little plastic monkeys! But if it makes DS happy.... he'd better play with it every day for the next 6 months now!

It's not the colour he wanted. He wanted the dark blue one with orange hair. But that one was oos. But I got the light blue with purple hair. Hopefully it'll do. And I can get him the one he wanted for his birthday or something next year, when its not xmas and they're not so sought after!

Its the seesaw set as PP said (£39.99) but it's in stock in most stores if you can get to one. It won't let you click and collect (probably because high demand so they can't guarantee picker would get to one in time) but you could ring and ask them to reserve one for you!

Yay, Cybophobic! Good going! 😁

Glad you managed to get one! 😊 hopefully my DD will be happy with her piece of plastic that's her namesake lol! I've managed to avoid the stress of finding popular toys till now, but since she's started school I'm feeling this is the beginning of the end 😂

@CynophobicSadness - I think we have a spare blue one (as long as subsequent order arrives of a pink one - it's for a girl and I took what I could get at the time which was the blue with organge hair). Happy to send on to you for what I paid (£14.99) plus post if you still want one?

Oh thanks @Casablanca

I'm still not entirely convinced I'm going to receive this one from the US. Until its sat in my hands I won't believe it, so a potential backup is always good. But even if it does arrive DS would be thrilled to have two of the little buggers!

Pls pm me if the pink arrives and you still want to sell the blue one (although no pressure, if you decide you would prefer to keep both I understand)

Sorry, @casablanca78
See post above

The science museum in London have loads!!

Just incase anyone is still looking

It's already out of stock, Womble!

CoffeeAndCakeEssentials you're joking. My niece works at the bloody Science Museum! I never even thought about that place.

Urrrgh, all this faffing about and I could've just asked DN to get me one! Its laughable

Got right to the bloody Tesco checkout bit before they said they're out of stock

Keep an eye on The Entertainer they keep taking pre-orders but not all of the time.

I have seen online that others have said if you go into the actual shop they have them but do not update stock availability online.

Mines shipped already I just got a confirmation from Amazon. Fingers crossed!

Ooh promising news womble let us know when it arrives...and confirm its not a fake, encrusted with lovely shiny razor blades! It'll put my mind at rest.

Amazon have pink ones for £14.99, free delivery for prime customers.

@CynophobicSadness - getting OH to check at his work today to see if pink ones arrived (says it has on email). If so let me know if you'd like blue or if you are going to try science museum x

The reviews of the Amazon ones are terrible-saying they are fake!

Is that the amazon own one or market place?

We need a unicorn one but it doesn't seem possible
