Has anyone spotted the Ben10 Nintendo DS game whilst out and about?

DS really wants it as part of his Christmas presents and I haven't been worried as it was only due for release at end of November. However it seems to be as rare as the lesser-spotted Wii!!!

I am trying to get it in Dublin but my sister is having no luck - Smyths told her that they were expecting it in but it just never arrived.

Amazon have it at 3-5 week delivery. Expect for a market place seller who has it for ........................................999.99!!!!!!

I have seen it on Ebay but am a bit scared of Ebay!

Has anyone seen it around please?

Just call me Santas little helper.. Or lol older mammy who has been there, done that and learnt lessons like dont leave things till last minute again until next year!

Would you believe I have been SO organised with everything else? Bought most of DS stuff while I was home in October and it is all safely stowed in Mum's wardrobe. I was making some friends sick I was so organised!

I had 2 things left to get for him - a scooter and the Ben 10 game and I wasn't worried about the game as it was only being released at end of Nov. Was keeping an eagle eye on Smyths website to see when it came and I had my sis all geared up to go and get it. Best laid plans!!

I cant believe that none of the shops have them the in stock! The guy off ebay emailed me and said can buy it from his shop delivery tomorrow for think it was £27.99 would have to double check that for you anyway will ring him cos he gave me phone number and see where he is its a fairly local number though

ABudafulSightWereHappyTonight · 13/12/2007 16:38

OMG - I GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From Virgin. 16 pounds plus 2 pounds delivery! Will be dispatched within 3 - 7 days - bit tight but fingers crossed!!!!! If 3 days will be fine - 7 will be tight.

Thanks so much for all your help though. Really appreciate all you were willing to do.

Have a great Christmas enjoy the trip.

gscrym, The Entertainer toy shop in Kingston-on-Thames had lots of Ben 10 action figures a few days ago if that's any help to you.

  • order cancelled.

Back to drawing board! Or at least relying on soremummy for help!

If you are sure you don't mind - can we try your local Ebay guy and then I will pay you including postage and any extras?

I have been trying to get this for Ds. I placed an oreder for it with some website and it was cancelled the day before his birthday

Oh and if it is on the shelf in Woolies, don't bother queueing up for it because they haven't actually got any, they just leave the box on the shelf and don't put an OUT OF STOCK sign on it.

ABudafulSightWereHappyTonight · 13/12/2007 20:11

There are some on Ebay Nutty - I was going to ask you if your brother had any!

I struggle with Ebay with being overseas but you should be OK.

Am hoping soremummy can get me one tomorrow - the Irish mafia is fab!!!

Yeah i checked on ebay but although they are not loads more, it is still too much for me with p&p too.

My limit is £20 for it so if I can't get it he will have to wait until after xmas.

soremummy · 13/12/2007 20:23

just saw this will try for u tomorrow he said to ring in the afternoon
will be in touch just an excuse for me to go to town really!!

ABudafulSightWereHappyTonight · 13/12/2007 20:50

If you are totally sure soremummy?

I really really appreciate it!

And DS will appreciate it even more!

Nutty - try ordering on line with VIrgin Megastore. I am not sure but suspect my problem may have been an overseas credit card. They are offering the game at 16 pounds - and the offer having it delivered to a Megastore near you.
