Is it the same over here I thought?

Well yes it is, the wee buggers are cute :rolleyes:, I mean scarce! :greengrin

Well no it isn’t, a wee look around and the cheapest ones I saw like the ones in the article, admittedly my search was far from thorough, were £15, or $24. :grr:

Good to see we’re not being ripped off as usual then.

My 8 year old put one on his list but it was because of peer pressure and media hype. When I asked if if he really wanted one he was not actually that fussed so I said to take it off his list and he'll get on ein the sales when everybody else has one and the shops have bought far too many in for the last couple of weeks before christmas.
