You can have mine, his breath stinks and he's late at least twice a week.

Saw some humungous ones in TK Maxx just after Christmas..

I was going to say TK Maxx too!

Fab thanks, they were the two places I hadnt yet tried so will try Woolies and Toys'r'Us tomorrow

Yip, I saw the TK Maxx ones as well - they were huge and really good

didnt know tk maxx did toys! Might try there as a last resort, do you know if they still have them, I could do without going into town

The Milton Keynes one had four the week after Christmas but they might have gone by now...

My local TK Maxx had them after Christmas. They only have a small toy selection but what they do have is usually quite good, I even managed to get that blessed Stephanie doll that was sold out everywhere in there.

Where do you live I can pop round

No thanks - you've got stinky breath (allegedly)

tk maxx have sold out just phoned them. ditto woolies and not even available on website.

God I hope toys'r'us will have some.

Why cant ds like something they have lots of like bob the builder or teletubbies

Have you tried this Mosschops?

Postman Pat Soft toy

flippin marvellous, have you ever used them, are they reputable?

I need it for Thursday, but says mostly deliver next day

I've not used them but I buy a lot of stuff of not very well-known sites and often follow up my internet order with a phonecall to make me feel better

Good luck...

i have just phoned them and the woman sounded a bit vague but said if i order and pay over the phone then she can send it parcel force tomorrow for delivery thursday.

Am I protected if I pay by mastercard?

No idea. I have Barclaycard which protects me from fraud. Could you use a paypal account instead?

how can i use paypal when ordering over the phone (sorry am shit at this sort of thing) i do have a paypal account but thought I could only use it for ebay?

oh crap - was doing so well at pretending I knew what I was talking about I've only used paypal once and that was over the internet! could you maybe ring your credit card company and ask them if you're covered by a transaction over the phone?

sorry I'm so rubbish at this sort of thing!!

thanks for all your help cashncarry, I have ordered the large postman pat.
Mastercard said they will cover it if anything happens so have just paid on that, woman still vague but hopefull 'bobo-bat' will be here thursday for ds birthday

oh fab

hope it all works out and your DS has a good birthday - how old is he?

he will be two this week and is obsessed with postman pat so glad I managed to get hold of this, thank you

No problem - happy to finally join the ranks of helpful MN'ers!!

My DD just turned 2 also - it's such a fun age isn't it? I think we'll be dealing with "brand obsessions" well into teenage birthdays!

It only gets worse dd is now 10 and I would rather 20 two year olds than her at the moment
