They are sold out, as are smyths and Argos.
Has anyone seen these for sale anywhere in Dublin or surrounds please?

I've been trying to get one everywhere and they're sold out in every shop as far as i know. Even Amazon.co.uk says should ship within 1 to 2 months. I have family going to Newcastle next week so I checked all Argos stores in that area and they're all out too. I even checked the Leapfrog website and they're out of stock. I reckon they'll be getting some in within the next few weeks, this always happens with a popular item before Christmas, a marketing ploy perhaps

There's always the vTech Innotab. There are pros and cons for both units, but for kids, they're not gonna mind which one they get.

Hi I have seen at Argos price come decrease to 79.99 but no stock still , I don't why are they doing this out of stock but on sale ??
Any idea where are they available ?

Available at Toys R Us - in Pink.
They deliver to Ireland.
It says out of stock - but I tried ordering one and it's added it to my basket (didn't try go to checkout.)
There are some special instructions here for Irish customers ordering off ToysRus .

Can anyone advise if the Leappad will play videos ripped from a Dvd and installed on the device. I know the Vtech one will.

Don't seem to be able to reserve them on argos website, even though it says they are available to reserve (in green).

You need 4 AA batteries, for upload free games and register you need internet connection which took 30 min for myself to do all of it .
After all , this is your choose if you want to upload the pictures from Leappad to your PC or FB you need to connect internet .
I don't have any idea about difference US or Ireland purchased Leappads,still when you first turn it on for register; it asks you which country you from and USA is one of the option .So I think they all same option to choose which country you are from doesn't matter where you have been purchased it.
