    Don’t know where else to put this but Smyth’s in Blanch had about 40 of them this morning.

    €18 each.

    The black ones were discountinued back in August- any residual stocks of them shipped in September. Smyths were down for 200- so they may still have some somewhere. Best bet is to phone around. I got 2 in Dundalk- it was a bit of a hike- but between the black ones and the sloths- they are what my munchkins put on their Santa lists........ (they wanted the unicorn ones too- however, I've had to concoct a story about how the elf who was making the unicorn one is seriously ill and while he is getting better, its unlikely he'll be back making toys again before the new year). Toys-r-us in the US laughed when I tried to order them for delivery to Addresspal- they're like gold dust.

    Near the pj masks stuff, in the back very far back of the my little pony stuff * I think. The pj masks stuff is down towards the end of one aisle. Facing phone accessories I think. I think its the 2nd shelf up from the bottom. I am not 100% but if you search around there you might find them. Deffo saw a black one and the blue one. There was around 5 or so there.

    They are on pigsback (€16 for monkeys and I think €19 for unicorns) including delivery.

    You’ll be cutting it fine for delivery but might be worth a punt.

    Unicorns here: https://www.pigsback.com/en-ie/offer/403867/jy-co-ltd

    There seems to be a much better chance of getting these - delivery time for the monkeys has increased to 20 working days

    Someone on my local FB page selling some of these yokes for €18. If anyone wants to pm me I can send you the link?

    I know nothing about them, just remembered the BA when I saw the Facebook post, so they might be the wrong thing.

    Significant majority of these, including the ones that claim to be authentic or genuine- are fake. I've had refunds from 4 different sellers on Amazon so far- and two on ebay- over authentic products which aren't (authentic).

    Also- many of the items which are allegedly in the UK (or Germany) are in fact in China. Don't let the 'free shipping' offer fool you.
