Desperately Seeking Ben 10 Monster Inline Scooter

[TraceyHand]

Mother-in-law was asked to get one of these for my 5yo over FOUR weeks ago and today (probably having JUST started looking) has told us she can't find one.
I've hunted everywhere online and NOWHERE has one in stock.
Only place selling them is ebay at nearly double RRP which I just can't justify spending.
I've trawled through 27 pages of google results and not found one in stock (actually, not entirely true. did find one site that seemed to have stock but the checkout appeared to be broken )

I don't suppose anyone has one or knows of anywhere selling one?

Bloody frustrating because we saw one in our local Woolworths (oh, the irony!) only 10 days ago and could have bought it if I'd know MIL hadn't even bothered to look yet.

I would be eternally grateful to anyone who can help out

Make her pay for the double rrp one i say.

[TraceyHand]

hmmm..right. Think I've found one (been looking for 2 hours solid) at toyopia.co.uk although I'm sure I'd checked before in a previous search and it was out of stock so I'm expecting an email sometime today/tomorrow to say "sorry, out of stock, will refund etc"


We'll see, I guess!

It's tempting, I kid you not!

If your local Woolworths has anything left it might be worth a look. Closing down sale is on.

I'm presuming she looked there, Mike (mind you, shouldn't presume anything!) as when I went in there last week they had only that one that I saw in stock left so I don't expect it'll still be there.

I am going in later to find out though.
Cheers

It might not be worth braving the chaos and queues though.

My 8 year old son has a £10 woolworths gift voucher but when my wife took him there on saturday to try and use it she took one look at the huge queues and decided it wasn't worth the effort. I'm not sure he agreed but I don't think he had much say in the matter.

Get him a football instead.

tbh, Mike, our small town Woolies is unlikely to get busy even if it IS closing down. It's like a ghost town in there nowadays.

Is an "Internet Expert" really needed to let him know its out of stock. Very funny email reply....

[TraceyHand]

yeh, made me chuckle too!
I guess he was trying to say he didn't know how to work/update the website.
Any other time, I'd be glad NOT to be shopping there, I think! LOL

Could you give your 5 year old a copy of the Actinic AUG instead, I am sure it would be appreciated, by the time they are 8 they could be running their own Actinic Store and be regular poster on the forums.

I wonder who is the youngest Actinic Store owner here.
