Dd has decided she wants one this week.
Typically after i saw some in tesco couple of weeks ago.
I now realise they are out of stock almost everywhere.
Am going insane looking for them.

Thought a 'hamster support' thread may help

I think if I see any I'm going to buy them and come on here to offer you ladies them as it must be a nightmare. DD doesn't want one, she wants a real one! I'd rather have the toy one

I think if anyone sees any get them , we can offer them on here to other desperate mners.
There are some coming in stock so no need to pay ebay prices yet

I keep checking but only get ou of stock messages. Kicking myself for not getting one on the Woolworths site a couple of weeks ago when I saw them. DD hasn't shown any interest as she hasn't really seen what they are, but I want to get her one - I'm sure she'll love it. Not willing to pay silly prices either so will wait until the New Year if needs be.

Thanks guys, I will keep looking out too - if I find any will also buy extra and send to any of you for true cost

I am now officially desperate! Really did not want to do it but had to pay silly Ebay prices for the Hamster as I needed my dd4 to keep the faith of Father Christmas! If anyone can let me know where I might find a ball or car or some such without having to pay the ebay/amazon prices I would be eternally grateful.

There are hamsters but no accessories in stock at toysrus online right now. Be quick!

allaboutme · 20/11/2009 10:02

ToysRUs site seems to have crashed so cant order a hamster!!

seeker · 20/11/2009 10:04

I nearly bought one on Amazon then noticed that it was 37.99!

Why do people do this?

desperatelyseekinggogos · 20/11/2009 10:10

The power of the hamsters! Managed to get as far as getting one in my cart then the site crashed!

QOD · 20/11/2009 15:48

damn it! stupid work got in the way & I missed the toysrus ones
LOL
Apparently there were 2 on the shelf in our local ASDA today - but the person who told me that blummin well bought them.

NightShoe · 20/11/2009 18:12

They had lots in Whsmith Exeter, all 4 of the little things for £10.11. I bought two to put away for presents for someone else, only for DD 3.5 to declare that she wants gogo hamsters, sing a song about them and ask if they were for her because she really really loves them. I didn't even know she knew what they were....the power of advertising the hamsters.....

QOD · 20/11/2009 18:17

but ... but ... I'm not in Exeter... I'm in Kent and I want 2 ..... waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

NightShoe · 20/11/2009 18:24

Have you tried Whsmith though QOD? Not many people think of there for toys.

QOD · 20/11/2009 19:18

I am at blummin work again tomorrow from 9 to 1 so will miss an early stocked up ones, but there is a WHsmith in the town I work in - very very small.
So annoying! Am on phone to TRU at mo - you never know....

QOD · 20/11/2009 19:21

TRU in Chatham will have some in tomorrow am - u need to be there at 9 am - strict rule of 1 per customer - AND I CAN#T BE THERE AS I WORK 30 MILES AWAY

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

but thought it might help someone else!

happyharry · 20/11/2009 19:33

Milton Keynes Toys R U had some white ones today. Unfortunately my dc don't want white ones.

I managed to get two today at toys r us. They only had the hamsters no accessory.
Amazon had some carriers and beds this aft but i was too slow.
Character online may list more tom and also check out TRU as they are def having them in store but some should filter through online.
John Lewis tend to stock accessories late at night.
Argos have said they will be having a massive delivery before xmas so might get lucky there.
Or if you do go ebay buy from Spain , US etc much cheaper and still plenty of time to get here.

AAArgh! Dd has TODAY announced that she wants these blessed things . Do I have any hope at all? Are the ones coming into stock being sold at inflated prices?
