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 got an email from John Lewis today because I asked to be updated when they were back in stock online. I happened to be checking email as it hit my inbox. I went straight to JohnLewis online and guess what?

Out of stock again!

Aaaahhhh

All the main stuff on YTC is out of stock.

They do have a special offer - spend £65 with them on any non go go toys and you get a free hamster.

Lilyloo · 22/11/2009 20:34

Waste of time but hooray for toys listing houses tonight so good luck to anyone after them

NightShoe That would be great. Thanks. Would be great if you manage to get one. Happy to pay postage.

TRU in Watford had a pile of hamsters this morning. I bought Num Num and Mr Squiggles. They said they can't get hold of any accessories tho.

Haylstones · 23/11/2009 13:32

John Lewis are showing as having them in stock. I just bought one and it went through payment etc, I guess I might get a cancellation email at some point but it might be worth a try?!

NightShoe · 23/11/2009 17:14

Ok Tortoise, I will keep a look out. I assume you don't want chunk though

Tortoise · 23/11/2009 19:46

Thanks, if only chunk is left then that would be ok. Sure DD1 will be happy with any of them.
Still keeping an eye on toys r us website! Bought to be in stock when i'm not looking lol! Hope to get a hamster bed too.

Lilyloo · 23/11/2009 19:52

Just like the ball then! the only 2 bits i would think about getting at the moment and they are nowhere to be found! Haven't got room for the playhouse bit at the moment so no good getting other add ons yet. Thinking maybe for her Birthday in May instead.

micku5 · 24/11/2009 11:46

I bought two in Sainsburys this morning, but they are selling at 14.99.

lulu2 · 24/11/2009 12:47

whereabouts are you micku5?

Haylstones · 24/11/2009 12:58

They have the house in stock at Boots atm but I expect they'll sell out pretty quickly...

micku5 · 24/11/2009 13:34

In Kent. I went into the one in Romford though on the off chance and they had 4 in stock. I did ring around afterwards to ones local to me but nothing.

Some stores of Smyths had them in stock.

micku5 · 24/11/2009 13:38

Oh, I rang my local toys r us, they said they were hoping to get some deliveries of them this week, and probably a good idea to be at the store early because people will start queuing.

Lilyloo · 24/11/2009 20:21

toys r us are expecting deliverys tom , thurs and fri so should imagine they will be for sale the following days.
Definately hamsters but they don't know about accessories
i don't need hamsters so a long trek to find out.

Possibility that hamster will be online Toysrus tomorrow morning at 9.30. Shame i will be on the school run then!
Also some popping up in Argos. Keep an eye on stock checker online.

Tortoise · 26/11/2009 10:00

OMG! Just found 5 in stock at Taunton Argos. Have reserved one.

QOD · 26/11/2009 18:40

well done tortoise!
Just sold mine for cost to me to my mums secretary - she cant get one for love nor money!

Tortoise · 26/11/2009 19:35

That's great QOD.

Where on earth am i going to find a bed or carrier for the hamster though?
Quite excited about collecting it tomorrow.
