Go Go Hamsters This Year’s MUST have toys!
Kids this year are going CRAZY for GO Go Hamsters and parents have beseiged toy shops to ensure their children get one this Christmas.
Thousands of parents queued through the night to make sure their kids have a little furry pet in their Christmas stocking on Christmas morning.
Demand for the Go Go Hamsters has been so high that Toys R Us’s website crashed as soon as it announced the toys were in stock.
Many outlets have been unable to obtain Go Go Hamster stock for weeks – so when parents heard the elusive £9.99 gift was available again in shops, they queued up around the block and waited in line.
Mum Nicola Craven got her hands one of the hamsters, which were designed by American Russell Hornsby and known in the US as Zhu Zhu pets.
But Nicola, 38, was distraught not to be able to buy one each for her two daughters at the Toys R Us store in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
“Staff were limiting us to just one,” she said. “I’ve never queued for anything but my girls keep telling me that’s what they want this Christmas.”
As many retailers report shortages of the must-have toy, Argos takes stock in time for Christmas.

Ian Chaplin, toys trading manager for Argos said: “Go Go Hamsters have proved to be extremely popular with demand at Argos up four-fold in the space of three weeks.
"As the UK’s number one in toys we have managed to secure better stock levels than than any other UK retailer. Tens of thousands of the racing rodents will be arriving into Argos stores before the end of the week in time for Christmas stockings.
"As with any popular item at this time of year, we would advise customers to check & reserve online to make sure their hamster is ready and waiting to be collected at their local store.”
