A Christmas Quest - smart ball soccer bot

171 replies

Stripedfluffysocks · 11/12/2023 07:24

I thought I’d get away with it this year but seems that I have a Christmas Santa quest - as I normally do!
A little boy who really asks for very little, mentioned yesterday that he really only wants the robot ball from Santa.

Turbs out this is the - smart ball soccer bot.
I was delighted at last I knew what he wanted.
And then googled after bedtime.
Sold out everywhere, going for ££££ on eBay.
WTAF 😖😳
Can anyone help me, anyone hit one there’re not going to use or seen them anywhere - not for extra ££ - £50 is just about doable for me!
Please help
🤶

Smyth's have them in stock now for home delivery

Shellg6 · 19/12/2023 00:36

Sorry might be just the irish smyth's

Hi fellow desperate mammies! I joined just to comment, if there's anyone in Ireland with a spare I would love it for my son. Like the OP he's football mad and is only asking for this and FC24. Would love to get my hands on one for him!

Elfonamission · 19/12/2023 05:41

Really glad to be of help! 😊

Becbird250 · 19/12/2023 07:45

Any possible chance you could post one to UK? I’ll happily pay more. I’m at my last chances now :(

Morning, I'm near Hull and like many absolutely desperately trying to find the Soccer Bot. I keep refreshing pages but no joy. I know I'm late to the party but if anyone does have a spare I'm will to purchase and pay postage/ins or even drive to collect. This is all my daughter keeps asking for 😭. Thank you xx

It's coming up as out of stock in the Irish Smyths when I check?

NIfamily · 19/12/2023 09:04

My bother lives in Dublin if you would be able to get one and send to him plz?

Lmason1988 · 19/12/2023 09:40

I think Argos have had a delivery today - I keep getting alerts that there is stock in lots of different postcodes

Someonesoutisde · 19/12/2023 09:46

Argos have it in stock for delivery within 2 days!

Kazzer34 · 19/12/2023 09:51

Hi there. I’m in Dublin and trying very hard to get a soccer bot.
Missed out on that smyths release last night.
If you know of anyone who has one please let me know.
we were prepared to pay €200 in limerick last week but missed the offer.
We we’re going to travel from Dublin for that.
Thats how desperate we are !

Show quote history

It was Epsom, Surrey. But I’ve just checked and it’s out of stock again :( I get notifications through the app ‘HotStock’.
I got mine yesterday in store at Smyths. I recommend calling your closest one and checking if they’ve got any

Kazzer34 · 19/12/2023 10:12

Are these gone already ?

They were in stock for delivery - I was going to grab one hit someone on here but hesitated and are out of stock now - but this just might mean in someone’s basket - keep trying!!!
Also Smyths this morning told me none in stock until March but then, when I said the manager told me different on Sat, said they would be getting 5/6 in store at some point. I will keep trying and if I see any I’ll buy one and put it on here

Thanks so much.
At this stage I actually feel like crying!
The stress.

Shellg6 · 19/12/2023 10:55

They must have gone quickly, it was after midnight last night when I got one. Keep refreshing whenever you can. Good luck everyone!

Becbird250 · 19/12/2023 11:35

And then immediately out of stock when you try and purchase :-(
has anyone managed to get on today through Argos? I need hope x

Fayecb · 19/12/2023 12:13

Aww my Argos doesn't have any 😭

Becbird250 · 19/12/2023 12:41

Argos do have some. I have spent the last 4 hours constantly refreshing the Argos page. 6 times they have been in stock and less than a minute out of stock. They must be putting them on little and often to prevent bulk buying. I kept it in my basket and finally after refreshing all the time I have just ordered one for next day delivery. Could have collected it too if I wanted but can’t get there today, so delivery tomorrow is still amazing! Keep trying all x

Becbird250 · 19/12/2023 12:42

Keep refreshing. They are sold out within a minute of going live. They’ve been doing this for a couple days now putting them online little and often

Kazzer34 · 19/12/2023 13:47

Which Argos was this. At this stage I think I will have to fly to England from Ireland as I just can’t get it here.

FeltCarrot · 19/12/2023 13:50

Is it only Smyths that stock it? There is a small Entertainer near me. Happy to go and have a look. (Don’t need it for myself although it does look like good fun! )

Fayecb · 19/12/2023 14:32

Hull are saying March 😭 x

Fayecb · 19/12/2023 14:34

I don't suppose you would be so kind to order one for me if they come up again please. My Argos just keeps saying no stock. Obviously would pay all costs x thank you
