Pixel Chix
Apparently these are 'the' toy for girls at Xmas this year and my 2 are desperate for them. I am not one of those mothers who will queue from 3am for shops opening etc and fight with elbows sharpened through Xmas crowds 
. However in this case I am willing to comply as they are small and therefore portable enough to fit in bags/suitcases 
. BUT, they're sold out everywhere here. Does anyone know if there are any toy shops in Perth that have them in stock (I'm coming over next Friday)? On websites it looks like they're cheaper in Aus and the US than in the UK - typical eh?
Would be grateful for any Aus toyshop websites too, if you know any?
Cheers

The guidelines are age 6+ I think, so she might find it a bit babyish. If she has a tamagotchi and loves it then it's the same sort of thing.
I only started Xmas shopping last week, when I realised I only had 2 weeks left before going to Aus (we get back just before Xmas)!! You're so lucky you've finished.
