Anyone seen any real needoh in stock anywhere? Not resale but sold from a toy shop?

Smyths Toys have some in stock depending what you are looking for.

Follow your local toy store stockists on social media. Many release when they have it. It sells out pretty quickly when it comes in. I got some in August from our local toy shop this way. Stock lasted about 2 hours. Wasn't a crazy queue (maybe 10 people).

Apparently menkind stores get it in alot. So worth popping in there earlier in the day on odd oçcasisons if you have one locally. Or asking them. Hobbycraft too.

People also seem to have more luck with their local garden centre type shops.

Kid collective get it in now and then. They annouce releases via tiktok mostly.

I think I've read that Hobbycraft may have it too (I know it's the 'must-have toy' this year.

Good luck!

None of that is in stock anywhere sadly.

If you have facebook there are needoh drop uk groups that are worth following. They'll also help you find real online stockists not fakes.

DanglingMod · 03/10/2026 22:20

My local Waterstones always posts when they have fresh stock. Might be worth checking and/or following yours.

Blarn · 03/10/2026 23:15

No, and it's really annoying as dds have had a needoh in their stocking for years. Dd2 will be a little but disappointed if she doesn't get one! I'll be glad when influencer buying them all for videos move onto the next thing.

Comeonbabyblue · 05/10/2026 07:00

I dont know if they are due any in but on waterstones you can put your email in and they will tell you when they're in stock. It does work, but I have also found that I've checked 'just incase' and managed to buy before the email has got to me and by time it has got to me it's sold out again. Worth a try but also only 1 per customer but sometimes I have got the email right away. Not much help im sorry but worth a try isn't it.

They have them in my local toy shop, which I appreciate isn’t useful unless you live in Bristol.

My kids are huge squishy fans so defo seeking these for Xmas. Sorry if there’s been threads already I’ve missed but with the news re dubious chemicals in unbranded squishies, is anyone throwing away theirs?

Totally Toys on Gloucester Road.
They get them in periodically. If you keep an eye on their Facebook page they usually post when they've had a new batch. Last week they posted that they had some Needoh penguins.

BigWig78 · 06/10/2026 06:38

Our Asda has some and local corner shops too often have a mix of real and fake (I got the sprite bottle for DSs stocking last week. Also the entertainer toy shop had some and last year I got the advent calendar from
smyths. Often signing up for alerts works (if you see your email on time!!)

merryandbrightdelight · 06/10/2026 22:43

Smyths have them but I’d call ahead to check they’re in stock. We entered a competition the other week to win one - you had to sign up in store for their Christmas catalogue. I signed up because last year even though I’d done it online it never arrived. Anyway we ended up winning and won three of them! Very, very excited children. The manager said that when they released their advent calendar people were queuing before the store opened, so I would imagine them being a top seller this year.

merryandbrightdelight · 06/10/2026 22:44

Stay away from Amazon for them - I ordered some knowing they were fakes but thought they would be like what some of the fidget stores have in and they absolutely stank of gloss. Threw them straight in the bin

Theunamedcat · 07/10/2026 06:38

Menkind worcester has them a lot

sleepseeker99 · 07/10/2026 19:48

Ebay

lancslass17 · 07/10/2026 21:56

They are really hard to find. We have a local (well not that local) Topshop that stocks them. Other than that it seems to be Hobycraft, menkind or smyths.

Gertibear · 08/10/2026 11:02

The only shop I have managed to get them at was smyths. Just luck as they had just bn put out. Went several time before and they didnt have any. Tried a few menkind stores but didn’t have them.

Have managed to get them online Waterstones & Toytown. Put urself on the list for notifications when they come bk in stock.

AutumnLover1999 · 12/10/2026 11:01

Try Rymans,Waterstones and Hobbycraft.

TheFamousSix · 12/10/2026 21:00

I had an alert on various needs items on www.mulberrybush.co.uk who seem to get the quite regularly, and then as soon as I got the email I went straight in and got them. Which did mean paying for postage each time though.

pixiedust79 · 14/10/2026 17:46

Waterstones currently has the candy swirl version in stock.

nightcapers · 14/10/2026 18:01

I managed to get a couple for my grandson from Bigjigs toys they're a good company too

champagneplanet · 14/10/2026 18:03

A relative got mine for the DC from Menkind, in person not online. Worth a look
