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

Anyone looking in/near Chesterfield - currently 5 in stock for collection. I can't get tomorrow sadly.

ok what I am gleamed from MSE, there is some hamsters and maybe some playsets being listed on Toysrus tomorrow after 9:30am, todays went on about 10am and I have managed to complete my hammy collection now.

There is no wheels or slides this side of xmas being delivered to the UK.

Beds and carriers are coming into stock on the 18th dec but thats cutting it fine for xmas. I ordered some homemade beds from ebay for my DD's hamsters.

Oh and TOYRUS have some deliveries in store tomorrow morning and saturday morning. You have to queue up early to be in with a chance, the sales assitance said that you can have 1 hamster, 1 playset and 1 house.

Tort
I just caved in and bought a bed and carrier of ebay for £12
They aren't getting any stock of them until 18th Dec and that is to the main distributor character. If they don't list them (which they didn't with last lot of stock) they will then have to be distributed to their retailers.
If your luck you may pick one up in store a couple of days before xmas.
If you buy online doubt they can deliver before xmas.

Thanks Lily. I will keep an eye on Ebay i think but don't really want to pay 2x what they are worth. DD1 will just be happy to have the hamster she wanted. Wasn't planning on any other bits for Christmas but thought a bed would be nice for her hammy.

i bought my dds a running hamster in a ball from amazon for a fiver. made by henley toys or somebody. my dds are 5 and 7 and wouldnt be able to tell the diff

Mail order Express have got some in, but they are selling them at £24.99.
I'm not looking for them, but noticed them on the website when I was looking for something else

Saltire · 27/11/2009 07:59

here's the page

Saucepanman · 27/11/2009 09:54

God bless this thread! Just got my hamsters from toysrus, thanks to SGK

Jambuttie · 27/11/2009 10:41

I'm in West Lothian and it's near impossible to get hold of them grrr

I had 3 boys and my sister is looking for 2 for my nieces.

Toys R Us are receiving delivery Thu, Fri and Sat HOWEVER! they sell out within 15 mins of shop opening. They have a staff member at the door handing out 2 tickets per customer for gogo hamsters

Just have to hope santa can find some soon i think lol

clayre · 27/11/2009 11:19

Kirkaldy retail park argos has one, if anyone is close and wants one

SparklyGothKat · 27/11/2009 13:16

yah glad to be of help.

clayre · 27/11/2009 16:31

Dundee Argos is saying on its website they have over 5 in stock!

teamcullen · 27/11/2009 18:19

TJ Hughes in Merseyside are getting them in.Going on sale at 9am tommorrow. max of 2 per customer

Good Luck... Thakfully my DS doesnt want them

Lilyloo · 27/11/2009 21:03

Lot's of argos have been listing hamsters today
Toys r us have stock tom but queue early
they are also listing online , has been about 9.30 ish. Tip if you get on don't pay with paypal.
They have been listing hamsters , houses , balls , skateboards and surfboards.
As said TJ hughes have hamsters tom.
Due to recent influx of hamsters they are pretty reasonable on ebay at the moment too.

wheels , slides and cars are still hard to find and beds and carriers impossible other than ebay!

According to my mum - Miami airport had loads and loads of different Go Go Hamsters last week. Were selling for $9 a hamter.

Obviously not much use to use here, but you never know - someone might know someone going!!!

Shame she didn't but some really, rather than telling today, lol

It is my fault. I sent a message and referred to them as Zhu Zhu Hamsters as that was what was coming up on US websites, and didn;t put Go GO. So she assumed they were different and a cheaper make nd didn't get them!!!

Argos in Camden have hamsters in stock for collection

DanJARMouse · 30/11/2009 19:58

Hello fellow hammy hunters!

I have managed to get all 4 hamsters, the house, car & garage, slide, 2 balls, surf board and 2 home-made beds.

Really want a wheel to finish it off but not holding out much hope as no more are coming in before christmas.

Good luck to all of you.

BeauticianNotMagician · 30/11/2009 20:02

I have a hamster reserved at walthamstow as well as the house.

CybilLiberty · 30/11/2009 20:05
