Those bloody elusive Fingerlings!

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

Amazon own won't be fake. Marketplace ones are.

RedBlackberries · 25/11/2017 09:43

OMG rioja thank you! I just bought it!!!!!

RiojaHaze · 25/11/2017 09:44

It's amazon, the reviews seem fine.

InflagranteDelicto · 25/11/2017 10:43

Ordered one in argos, collection from Tuesday

Smallinthesmoke · 25/11/2017 12:55

Coffeeandcakeessentials I think I love you. 23 in stock at the Science Museum just now, all colours, £20.
My DD2 will be so happy! (and I will be happy too to never have to look at Stockinformer every morning!)

CynophobicSadness · 25/11/2017 17:34

Got confirmation my order has been shipped!

Mine was ordered from Amazon US, not Marketplace. I do hope it's a genuine WowWee one, otherwise I'm gonna be seriously p'd off

Casablanca78 I'll get in touch with my DN and see if she can get me the blue/orange one from the science museum with her staff discount (so annoyed that I never even considered this place to begin with, it just didn't occur to me!). If she's unable to though because everyone on Mumsnet have now snapped them all up! then I may come back to you. But I don't expect you to hold on to it for me. As I say, if you decide you want to keep it, or sell to someone else in the meantime, I totally understand.

The pink ones I got off amazon this morning have gone back up to £69!! Got mine for £15. It's madness out there!!

DumbledoresArmy · 25/11/2017 22:30

I managed to reserve 1 from Argos this morning. Due in Wednesday.
Just worried it'll be pink & DS deffo won't want it :(

NoWordForFluffy · 25/11/2017 22:33

I should have a spare turquoise one if it is, Dumbledore.

DumbledoresArmy · 25/11/2017 22:52

Thanks NoWord,
Out of interest where did you get it from?

NoWordForFluffy · 25/11/2017 22:55

Amazon. I ordered it for a friend's daughter, but then got her a pink one today also from Amazon. The blue one is coming first so I'm keeping it just in case the pink one goes wrong. If it doesn't I'll sell the blue one at face value.

DumbledoresArmy · 25/11/2017 22:57

I saw them in on Amazon yesterday & wimped out as I was worried they'd be fake.

NoWordForFluffy · 25/11/2017 23:01

These are from Amazon, not marketplace. They won't be fake. Have to get sold by Amazon ones.

simpson · 25/11/2017 23:20

Oh poo, DD has announced that she wants one.

Cannot find one anywhere Sad

The law of sod...I have been checking argos all day except for when I had to go out (ironically to look for the bloody things!) and they had them whilst I was out Angry

RedBlackberries · 26/11/2017 07:05

@simpson they are back on amazon for £15 for pink Ines.

DumbledoresArmy · 26/11/2017 08:29

Oh! toys r us have got turquoise on order.
Is this too girly for a boy?

NoWordForFluffy · 26/11/2017 08:39

I don't think so.

My DS would play with any colour, not caring whether it's supposedly girly!

Newlifeisstarting · 26/11/2017 08:42

I’m not sure if they deliver to the U.K.? But maybe worth a look?

simpson · 26/11/2017 09:36

I got one from toys r us this morning (at silly o clock!) got the purple one as DD hates all things pink.

Just hope it is actually delivered now, won’t breathe a sigh of relief until it’s actually in my hand. It should be coming on Thursday.

Alexindisguise · 28/11/2017 06:30

Currently showing in stock for delivery on toysrus, be quick though!

simpson · 28/11/2017 07:43

The pink & white ones are on pre order for 14th December delivery on amazon at £14.99

NoSquirrels · 28/11/2017 07:55

Thanks Alex - job done!

Pink, purple & turquoise all in stock for delivery.

Scrumptiousbears · 30/11/2017 05:25

Can't believe I missed this. Was following for days then I forgot

NavyGold · 30/11/2017 06:26

Oh FFS! I know DD wanted one but I didn't realise it was one of "those" toys that was going to be a nightmare to find!
I'm currently in the middle east, I'm going to scour the toy shops here to see if they have any about. Christmas isn't celebrated here so there wont be a rush on to get one but likely to be a bit more expensive. Fingers crossed!
