Remote control snake

Gloomtastic! · 2013-12-01 10:58:02

One of the first things on the Late Late Toy Show was a remote control snake. Can't see them on Argos or Smyths websites. Any idea where you can get one in town?

No, I didn't anyway, got fed up of hearing the words 'All we have is whats on the shelf' from other another un-named toy shop, with various branches of which i visited several today! and that's when I actually found a staff member. Although credit to one staff member who actually was very helpful.
Gonna try Hamleys tomorrow. Wish me luck.
