aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrghhhhhhhh

and what pisses me off the most is that apparently, some people were buying them in bulk to sell on on ebay as they thought they would run out of stock ggggggggrrrrrrrrr

what's a pink ds?

NomDePlume · 28/11/2005 10:44

ninendo games thingy-doodle.

I wish I'dhave got in on the eBay pegasus horse head thing now ! Tidy profits all round.

daisy1999 · 28/11/2005 10:46

ndp it never even occurred to me to buy extra even though we bought early as we knew it was going to be popular. Sometimes I can be so slow

zippimistletoes · 28/11/2005 10:48

pink ds is apparently in stock on Amaxon..it says delivery 1/2 weeks? Happened to see it yesterday

foxinsocks · 28/11/2005 13:17

Kingston officially has none left (john lewis, bentalls, woolworths, the entertainer)! Went there this morning.

In fact, I got an email from Mattel this morning (as I had complained about the low stock) and they said they have a shipment coming in specifically for Argos in the next week or so but they don't have any specific dates so this may be your best bet.

We have a few friends overseas (specifically one in the US) who are coming here for Xmas time so I'm going to try and rope them in to getting us one from there (that's if the whole of the US hasn't cottoned on and is trying to sell them on UK ebay by then!).

Santabops, we are not too far from Kingston - best way to get in at this time of year is to go in on the train and out on the bus (if you are near Hampton station). If not, come and park at Teddington or Hampton Wick (free parking on nearby roads) and take the train from there (and miss all the traffic).

Dd isn't completely sold on the pegasus head but I love a challenge anyway . I refuse to pay twice the price on ebay especially when people come up with feeble 'duplicate gift' when they've been trawling the stores and grabbing all the last ones!

Perhaps it's a blessing..they are hideous

and will be discarded by new year

you could then have an alternative craft afternoon covering it in papier mache and redocrating with a macabre(perhaps better stop there)

foxinsocks · 28/11/2005 13:32

it does scream 'godfather' at you doesn't it?

(I think all those styling heads are horrible really)

FOXINSOCKS

yes we came to the conclusion that we should have got the train as we sat waiting to get into the car park at Bentalls....

Yes we do live near to the station, so would have been relativley easy!

santabops · 28/11/2005 14:25

by the way none left in Tescos by Twickenham Rugby Ground

lucycinco · 28/11/2005 14:26

If anyone is really desperate, I have seen them in Carrefour, I do live in Spain but if you are really desperate, I could buy one and post it for you. It was about 50€ so about 40ish pounds.

gingerbear · 28/11/2005 14:30

Thank goodness!
I am with trefusis on this one Lipgloss???On a horse?

Hahaha DD has chopped all the hair off the hideous doll's head my sister geve her last year!

Wonder how many horses will be similarly styled on Jan 2nd?

santabops · 28/11/2005 14:32

I've stopped dd watching Nick Junior - that is where she was brainwashed into wanting one of these!

It is truely hideous!

Fireworks · 28/11/2005 14:36

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH

bloody mil

told her in October this is what DD1 really really wanted - "no proble" she said, I?ll get it straight away...
Got Dh to check she had got it as I knew they would sell out, the way everyone was talking about wanting it. "Oh, yes" she says, "no problem"

Now in an email she has admitted that she couldn?t find one so has bought a large "girl?s world" type head thing (only cheaper make if I know her). I am livid. I could have bought it for her but chose to trust bloody mil - how stupid am I? (don?t answer!) She even had the nerve to say to Dh that she thought a girl?s head was much nicer than a horses head anyway - fo rher perhaps, but not for a 4 year old who is in love with horses and Barbies.

Poor DD1. At least I have got her the Brietta doll with light up crown thingie. DD1 is so good, never asks for loads and loads. Oh well, I just hope that the witch has the decency to look guilty when DD1?s little face drops a mile as DD1 is aware of what her Granny had promised to buy her.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

AlmostAChristmasAngel · 28/11/2005 18:04

pixel · 28/11/2005 19:27

Almostachristmasangel, couldn't find your other thread. I've just received 2 gameboy sps this morning bought off ebay. I was just putting on feedback and thought I'd check the seller's other items. Look at this . Only a few hours left though.

nappybaglady · 28/11/2005 22:36

thank goodness for mumsnet yet again. Have just ordered brietta the pegasus (the whole thing, not just the spooky head) from the littlewoods link lower down this thread. Have been having 'pegasus panic' for last few days but now content. Good luck to everyone looking for the horses head

Angeliz · 29/11/2005 09:17

Angeliz · 29/11/2005 09:47

foxinsocks · 29/11/2005 09:52

aaaaaahhhh zippimistletoes, you are a star!! Hamleys have them back in stock (they had none yesterday)!!

I've ordered one but it says nothing about delivery only that the order is in progress (v suspicious)

OP posts:
poppyknot · 29/11/2005 14:41

THought I had the Brietta horse from Amazon but got an email on Friday to say sold out!!!
And from the price comparison site I went to everywhere else is sold out too. (Even if it doesn't say so, if you try to order, you can't)

Seemed too good to be true..... sigh.

NewBethlehemGirlwithsparkles · 29/11/2005 15:12

I saw a fellow Mnetter today who herself and the rest of her family have been on the hunt for a pegasus head.

She's told me today that she finally got one from Argos. She found it on the net at a local store and reserved it straight away. When she went to pick it up the store assistant said that they get 2 or 3 in on some deliveries so the best way is to keep checking their site and reserve straight away.
