I know its last minute, but I need help and I'm desperate!!!

[phorsenuf]

I don't know why I didn't think of posting this earlier. GRRRRR
Here's my dillema. My son -11 really wants a Hot Wheels Serpent Cyclone set. I've known about this for a while but I really didn't think he wanted it. I "forced" him to make a Christmas list and he wrote down all kinds of things that he saw in sales circulars. I didn't think he wanted it because he never plays with his cars anymore. I questioned him, but he said he wanted it. Well, I kinda put it out of my mind and guess what. It's all he's talking about! So I've been on a mad hunt looking for it. No luck! Toys R us practically laughed at me. I thought I hit upon luck at our local Target but alas, they are gone (again). I really need help!
So...if anybody is out and about tomorrow and happens across it I will pay whatever it takes to get it! LOL
The only reason I am so desperate to get this is because there is nothing else on his list he really wants. He doesn't have anything "big". Why oh why did I do this???????
So, if there are any Disers that can make some magic I would so greatly appreciate it. I have Paypal so if you have that I can reimburse you right away.
I don't know why I didn't post this last week. That was so dumb of me

This sounds just like me. I don't know that I can be of any help but I send good wishes your way!

I can't find anyone that has it.

Amazon, KBToys, etc. are all sold out online.

Maybe you could have amazon.com e-mail you when it becomes available and send your son an e-card that says you will get it as soon as it is back in stock.

Good luck.

I think they have one on Ebay.

Yep...that's it! It's already sold, I'll have to see if there are others.

you can buy it @ fao.com

hot wheels serpent cyclone trackset

don't know if it'll be shipped in time though , and it's rather expensive.

I found it on the Kohl's site. -- but I just saw it's unavailable. You might also try a Kohl's store if there are any near you. I don't see any in NH but they do have some in MA.

Link To Kohls

I was able to add it to my cart at FAO.

Don't know if they can still do overnight shipping. Maybe there is a 800 number you can call. I know there are a few websites out there that are still shipping things until noon tomorrow.

There are several on Ebay. Are they all sold?

If you can't find it (and I know that the Serpent is in high demand this Christmas) would he settle for an Octoblast? It's the best Hot Wheels set we have ever bought for our kids. They love it, and it actually works (unlike Spider Slam and some others).

I have actually also seen these at two local Krogers(grocery store) if you have those in your town. I got mine at Target and I know on Sunday they had them, but not for the sale price anymore.
FAO wants $55? Wow.

It was at a Walmart when I saw it last~ isnt there a dinosaur one also?

 

[Cindy B]

Target had tons of them, but not in the toy aisle.. it was set up in the section by the customer service desk as you just walk in.

I've seen them at Kohl's as well, also Walmart

maybe that's why they still have some left..

[PamOKW]

and also probably why FAO is going out of business.

 

[phorsenuf]

Well, I checked everywhere again today and no luck. I'll probably check again tomorrow morning and then go with plan B.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions! Couldn't believe FAO! Like someone else said, no wonder they are going out of business

 

[Cindy B]

Hey also check Zany Brainy and Imaginarium... they are both going out of business, so you may find it there.

I did go to Target this afternoon and didn't see it.
