Lightning McQueen Asda "oodie"

157 replies

My son, who is 14 with autism and still a firm believer, has just declared Santa is bringing him a Lightning McQueen "oodie".
Santa is not, Santa has looked everywhere and can not find this anywhere. It went viral on TikTok, so sold out in all Asda. There was one on Vinted for £65, it had already sold and to be honest it was only £20 something when on sale so wouldn't have wanted to pay that.
Anyone any ideas or happen to have one that they no longer want.

I was on something similar on FB last year. I was able to source a few bits from our Smyths that were on sale to send to someone in England

Proof that karma exists ❤️

Edited because I've read the happy ending and I'm so glad for it but I was going to say
Me, I'd just make one.
Get a plain oodie in the appropriate color and size, either get an image of what the item is supposed to look like from the Internet or pick another lightning McQueen image, fabric paint, and have it made.
If you personally are unable artistically to do this, find someone who can.
Lots of people out there have the ability to be a "human photocopier," and are excellent with fabric paints.
Ask around in your social group, neighbors, places you volunteer with, workplace, possibly post the job to somewhere like Facebook marketplace,
I've always been the one that people have come to with t-shirts, lab coats, jackets, ties, all kinds of stuff, to see if I could paint a particular character on it for them. So I'm not quite sure where you would get someone else to do it, but that's all I can think.

Looks like I am on the hunt again as I sent the money for it and have just been refunded.

If the above doesn't work, it's says there's 3 in Old Kent road Asda, happy to jump on a bus and do a good deed if needed:)

Would you please be able to check for me

OP posts:
christmaslist78 · 08/12/2025 17:40

Not sure whether it was a scam or not but I sent the money using goods/services and not the friends and family option. I did send extra, £37 in total. It was £22 for oodie, £2 postage bag and £11 royal mail and then I sent the extra £2 to cover fees.
No contact at all from I sent it, just refunded a few hours later.
So sad and really can't believe someone would do this

I'm gutted. I honestly don't understand why. I could cry right now.

Oh no that's simply horrible! I really hope there is a logical answer for why you've been refunded as it seemed like the poster was genuine!

Snowisfalling24 · 08/12/2025 19:22

Oh no! That’s really disappointing. Did have a similar experience? 🤷‍♀️😢

Was there no explanation?

Is there anyway you can phone Asda head office to see if they can help you in anyway?

Luxio · 08/12/2025 19:56

A hopeful bump to keep you in active and maybe @MNHQ could edit the title to say you are still searching?

poolcrew · 08/12/2025 20:21

I’m not nearby but apparently Burnden Park in Bolton have 2?

KickboxingWanker · 08/12/2025 20:21

No explanation at all, and no reply to any email.
I'm assuming they were planning to scam but as I sent goods/services payment then thry couldn't
