It's So Unfair The Toys That Are Available In America And Not Here?

Question

My 4 1/2 yr old son is obsessed with Lightening McQueen (Disney Pixar Cars) and there are so many things that I want to get him and they are only available in America, there is the Lightening Mc Queen bed, loads of items for the garden, basically anything you can think of the Americans can get it and for half the price we pay for them, its so unfair, does anyone know of any websites in America that will post to the UK/Ireland

I have tried ebay but the prices are just way too dear there is no way i would give it, eg. Flo's cafe should only be £17 they are getting £60 on ebay, not a chance

Answer 1

Tell me about it !

I'm a massive Sci-fi fan and it amazing the stuff in the USA that doesn't make it over to the UK.

There are ways round it though -

Despite what you said, E-bay USA is a good option, if its an item you really want and is is not going to be released in the UK. Keep looking and check the exchange rate.

Also check on line for USA toy stores, if you contact them direct they may be happy to post to the UK.

Do you have anyone that lives in the USA - if you ask they may be happy to get the item & post it on to you - or in the case of shops (Toys r Us USA) that do not post to the UK, get them to post it to your contact who will post them on to you.

Finally - This may not be practical why not go to the USA yourself. I'm not mad, but while you are out there you could buy a load of stuff for you and others (saving cash in the long term) as well as picking up USA only items that you could sell later - depending on what you buy you could make a profit.

Answer 3

Well, I'm not gonna diss my country, but we have too much TV, kids are babysat by television now, everything they see they want, nothing but spoiled brats! Plus, everything is a rip off, every year there is a new item that sells like crazy.

You can always buy an item online, it's as easy as that

Answer 5

Try Disney's website. I have a penpal in England and I send her things now and then. The postage is outrageous. I'd help you out if we could get together to figure out the best way to do it.

Answer 6

my son is fascinated also. We live in America so I guess I didn't realize how good we have it. Try E-bay I remember seeing a lot of McQueen stuff on there.

Answer 7

I agree with you ,i want a Pullip doll but they're not available in Canada,just in U.S and Asia and i can't try with ebay i'm just 14 years old,You can try with ebay but it's at your own risk

Answer 8

My daughter is also obsessed, I had to order her a shirt from avon she wouldn't let me alone untill she got it. You can try ebay to see if they may have anything on there. I haven't been on in a while. If I find anything I will let you know.

Answer 9

Buy one on ebay! At least with the Internet you are able to get things that would be normally unavailable.

Answer 10

Not just toys but weapons too, they can get pistols and rifles much cheaper, those damn yanks get everything... oooh I am just so jealous!

Doesn't it worry you though, that you are bringing up a 4 1/2 year old European child to desire a load of mass produced american garbage? - I'm sure there are plenty of toys in Europe.
