For weeks i have been searching for the Ben 10 MP3 player that my son has requested for Christmas.
Today i got an email from Argos telling me that it was back in stock at last i thought. I have to admit i did get a bit excited,
only to be disappointed yet again.
So i go onto their site, go to reserve it for store pick up, only to be informed 'Yes you guessed it' it is out of stock.
So we rang them up just to double check and yes it was right they were out of stock and they would not be getting anymore for another two weeks but as they are so popular there is a very slim chance of getting it.
But apparently they had some in for home delivery, but we were hesitant to pay the five pound delivery fee for such a small item.
But when we checked out their site it told us that it was also out of stock for home delivery.
So i have spent all morning searching the internet for this item and have had no luck finding it at all.
Now i feel bad as it looks like i will have to tell my son that Santa can not get the MP3 player he so desperately wants.
So what would you do?.
Would you ask him to chose something else?.
Would you risk waiting and hope that you are lucky enough to get one when it was in stock again?.
Have your children ever put you in this situation?

I have not seen any of those available here in the US. My son(9 in January) is a Ben 10 fanatic. He is getting the newer Ben 10 PS2 game and 2 Ben 10 shirts for Christmas. I have not decided what other Ben 10 items to get him. There are not that many in the stores around here. I would find out what else he wants just in case you are not able to find one.

Thank you for that. The funny thing is that where the item location says it is, is where i live.
Have had a terrible time getting hold of Ben 10 items they are very hard to find here in the UK because they are so popular.
But have spoke to him and he does understand that he may not get it and has decided he will ask for other things just in case.
