Has anyone got any of these that they could report back on. My dd2 keeps finding the page in the Tesco catalogue and I was considering it for Christmas. Is is worth the money? How annoying will it be for me? and does your lo love it?
TIA.

I have ordered an igglepiggle for xmas, with my brothers visa card, LOL.
I 'had a go' with some of them yesterday in tesco and they were quite un-annoying tbh, but I actually like the program myself so....
both ds' aged 1 & 2 dont move from the screen when it is on so i get 30 mins all to myself every day!! Yay!!

Ooh, I might pop down to out Tesco to see if they have any. I actually like the theme music thankfully so think I will be able to cope. I couldn't bear Tellietubbies and so have refused to get those. The other option is Fifi stuff but I think she will prefer Iggle Piggle. Thanks.
Anyone else??

Ds has had one for a week. He loves it, plays with it constantly and gives it lodas of cuddles. Of two similar toys I prefer the TMX Elmo but DS prefers Iggle Piggle.

Thank you. It is funny you should say that as I was going to get the TMX Elmo for my eldest. She is 4.5. You don't think she will be too old for it do you?

And what does it do exactly? Iggly Piggle not TMX Elmo. (I have seen him on You Tube)

My goddaughter (9y) got TMX Elmo for Xmas last year and she loves it so no I don't think it's too old for your daughter.

Iggle Piggle - well you press a button on his foot and he either asks you to help him find his blanket (if its not in his hand, or plays one of the ITNG tunes (he moves at the same time)), or pretends to be one of the other characters, e.g. Makka Pakka or the Ninky Nonk. That's about it really.

Sorry too young for your daughter.

Don't buy the Ninky Nonk. The carriages don't really stay together and my ds got very frustrated with it. Complete waste of £10.

Agree re. Ninky Nonk, although it looks lovely so I've put it onto DS's display shelf.

dd1+dd2 have the singing upsy daisy and iggle piggle and love them, currently the bedtime favourite. Another good set is the little figures, dd1 got one when she was in hospital last week and it is much loved.

Thanks. I liked the little figures too. Thought they would be fun in a stocking pulled out one by one. Hope your dd is ok now.

DS also has the mini plush figures and he loves these too (we have gone ITNG mad in our house).
