    I was in DisneyWorld in Florida this Summer and they had a temporary Frozen shop and my word they could not keep the shelves stocked, they were being snapped up straight away and the place was printing money, went in a few times over different days and same story always...

    Is this the toy that's on the "must have" list this year?

    You would think they would "Freeze" prices or Elsa "Let it go" cheaper :D

    Yes it is apparently.

    Argos allowed reservations during the week for stock that is now "definitely not going to be in before Christmas"

    Smyths had a small allocation available for purchase this morning, all of which were gone within minutes. People had been queuing outside from very early.

    Amazon might be worth a punt considering there's a shortage but I wouldn't count on them fulfilling in time for Christmas

    It says in stock on tesco website but when you place an order they will cancel it because there is actually no stock.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 18,952 Mod ✭✭✭✭Moonbeam

    Just saw that on another post, I have my fingers crossed Amazon fulfills my order.


  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 7,635 Mod ✭✭✭✭delly


    Based on the below, I would say any site that is not dealing in real time stock counts, will be extremely over ordered.

    Adverts have a few on for between €100-€250 :-(
    I have heard that things got pretty nasty in the Swords branch, pushing, pulling at people to get the dolls

    Unless you have been living on another planet the last few weeks then you will know the demand for the snow glow elsa doll is unprecedented, to a stage that
    SMYTHS TOY SUPERSTORE
    In Airside retail park had an expected delivery of 50 or so of them today. My mam got up this morning at 4:30am to be up there as early as possible.When she arrived there were a few other people before her (8) some of who had been queuing there since 9:30 pm the night before. During the long cold wait, it transpired they had only got 17 dolls for sale to the public. So when that news was heard it caused a massive frenzy amongst the other buyers. So we asked if smyths were going to give out tickets to the first 10 or so people in the line so they would be guaranteed an elsa doll after their very long wait in the queue but we were told they were not going to do such a thing and as soon as the doors opened it was every person for themselves. 9am came and the doors were opened. 100+ people were let storm in at the one time causing an out and out riot. My mam was ninth in the queue ran towards the dolls and was shoved from behind to the ground and trod on. The rack that the elsa dolls were on was turned over and all the dolls were on the ground. People were scrambling and a security guard just watched as this animal like behaviour ensued. A 60+ year old women who was standing beside my mam in the queue had her doll savagely taken from her and her neck forcefully put in a headlock. My mam who was being squashed under a crowd of people had to shout at the ONE AND ONLY security guard on duty for him to pull her out of the crowd. I have not seen my mam so scared and traumatised since after this incident. It was unreal to watch a crowd of so called civilised human beings be so animal like in their behaviour. All this could have been totally avoided if smyths management had properly organised the situation better I have since heard that smyths in Fonthill retail park distributed tickets to the first ten people and allowed three at a time to go in so If one smyths can do it in a mannerly fashion why couldn't smyths of airside I solely blame the management of this store for their unprofessionalism. People have been left traumatised by the events that happened today in airside. A situation that could have been avoided
    This happened at 9am in smyths superstore airside on the 21/11/2014

    Adverts rather than boards will allow this as for the last while now they will get a cut if the doll is sold, fcuking hate gougers scum of the earth imo.

    The Mother bought one of the snow glow dolls from Ebay for the younger sister, €65 including customs and postage from New Mexico, USA

    Totally agree, I placed an ad this evening letting people know they were available for £35 from Amazon and Adverts removed it after a complaint from a guy selling a doll for €250

    A scene from your local toyshop when they get one in:

    They're fairly meh-looking dolls, to be fair - they look nothing like the character.

    I picked up the Animator (toddler) dolls for my daughter for £20 each from the Disney Store for her birthday earlier in the year. They're really beautiful dolls, well priced in comparison to other versions, and look just like the characters. (Same goes for the Disney Store 'Classic' Anna and Elsa dolls, which look far better than the Mattel versions.) Online stock was a disaster over the summer, but they're being restocked regularly now in the run up to Christmas.

    I got an Anna and Elsa doll set (barbie size) of that series online they do look more like the characters and had rooted eyelashes. Great price too, bur the seller has since taken down their account.

    I love the toddler one,my girls have the skating ones. Personally I think they are a waste of money as they are just barbie type dolls


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,852 ✭✭✭dodzy


    Jasus, I just got a flashback to over 10yrs ago when I was faced with the same shît for tellytubbies. And there was 4 of them.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 32,278 Mod ✭✭✭✭The_Conductor


    Adverts are allowing that crap?
    I thought price-gouging, ticket touting etc- were all verbotten?
    If they've lowered themselves to that level, I'm cancelling my account.

    I managed to get two of the snow glows from Toys R' Us in the UK, found stock using this site. Got delivered through parcel motel, but did get stuck for €21 of oversize charges from parcel motel. Still though got the two for about €120 give or take.

    Toys R'Us seem to get some in stock, before they are gone a minute or two later. You need to set up an account with them first. If you wait until the items are in your shopping cart before registering, the items will be out of stock by the time you try to buy.
