So out of curiousity, what parts of the UK have actually found series 5? It's been a while and some places seem to have got them in now, but nowhere around me has them. They're all chock full of Series 4 *cough*Roberta*cough*. I don't really want to order online, but... I seriously want to get my hands on Starkle, Snowanne and Finley  |

I'm not actually in the UK, (I'm in the Rep of Ireland, close to the border though) Smyths is the only place I've seen them, but our new Tesco only had the new Lil Zelfs. Season 4 is still hanging around. Mostly Galexia, Cindy Moo, Roberta and Smoothie. Also some Zelious from 3 are not really moving, the Bubblegum ans Mint mostly.

Hi Garny, I have found the mediums, larges and crystal series all in Smyths in London. My friend in Blackpool said she found the mediums in both Toymaster and Argos. I know Twinklestah, who's in Liverpool has found the Crystals and some others in Toys R Us there also??? I think its still quite sporadic at the moment, and character online obviously has most of them now (on and off)  |

I'm in the North West, not too far from Liverpool actually and I haven't seen them anywhere here yet. Then again I don't have a Smyths, TRU to check etc. but I bought all mine (minus Finley who I haven't been able to catch in stock) from CO so I'm happy.  |

Yep, as Starkle said, TRU has the Crystals!
But unfortunately I've only found the series 5 mediums/larges at Smyths!
The minis are now at Argos though!

Thanks for your input, all! I actually went Zelf hunting yesterday to my favourite seaside resort (their Toy Master had some of the first series 3 Zelfs in stock). I managed to find two fresh sets of series 4 in two different Tesco stores (6 Smoothie!) and the Toy Master store appeared to be getting rid of Zelfs. All I managed to find were the Lils in one of the Tesco stores. Looks like I'll just have to keep hunting...! |

Awwwww, sorry you haven't had much look in finding the new Series Garny, hopefully soon??? I think toy shops don't tend to restock new Zelfs until their old stock has all gone, so if you live in an area where Zelfs don't sell well, then they're unlikely to put the new ones out!!! |

hey there. I'm in London and the big Sainsburys near me is stocking plenty of medium series 5. Not seen any mini ones or large ones there though.

Aw, my Sainsbury's has told me that they won't be stocking until October! D:
Argos had the larges in, but strangely the ones I saw had double tape, with one bit clearly sliced open. I'm always very weary of that, since Argos are prone to selling stuff that people have used (and even damaged!) and sending them back. I'd rather not take it out of the pack and find out there are pen marks on the back. TRU finally have the crystals, but all they had in were Moona and So-anne. Another Tesco store had a box of series 4 & 5 Lils, but only one S5 remained (Daisy May, who came to a football match with us).
So yeah, still slow going over here!

I made a trip to TRU at the weekend. The Zelf section they had was smaller than I expected, but here's what they had: all of the Zelicious scented tropical paradise ones, all of the Crystal Gemz, the only single 'ordinary' mediums they had were 3x Smoothies and one single sad-looking Roberta.... they also had Princess Crystella, both the play sets, and the 'greenhouse' set of 30 mini zelfs. All in all not terrible but not nearly as wide a selection as I had hoped for!
I picked up all six of the tropical scented zelfs plus the the one crystal gemz I didn't have but wanted - Snow Bunny. (So-anne stayed put - I just can't bring myself to like her!). So I came away pretty happy! Thought about getting Princess Crystella but I'm not sure if I'm collecting the large ones yet and I didn't feel I wanted her enough to spend £20 on her.

Hi. I'm living in East London and have been lucky enough to find most of the new medium zelfs and large zelfs for wave 5 in my local (ish) area mainly at smyths. I'm just wondering if anyone has any news about how to get hold of Pearleen, the new limited edition zelf. I've seen posts about it in the USA, but not a peep has been made about UK availability.

@royal P - That sounds about what we had (well, minus most of the gems). Also, we had loads of Series 4 mediums, but none of the 'rarer' ones (ie. Flare or Sketalia). Fairy - I believe we have another mail away event due later this month from what I've heard! |

Can anyone tell me if the Pearleen promotion is limited to one per household? I have a friend in the UK who is willing to help me out, but it turns out she already agreed to do it for someone else :/ she's now wondering if she can do it for both of us, or if I'm out of luck thanks for any help!  ♡ |

Since I had enough receipts to send in for two, I tried it. I put one for me, and one for my sister. Last time it did say one per household, but I didn't see it anywhere. I was thinking the worst that could happen is that they would send one back. But I got 2 in the post yesterday. What was weird was that they were packaged together even though I sent them a day apart.
So long story short, I would say try it. The worst they can say is no.

I've seen other people sending in 2 or 3, and they got all that they sent in for! There's no limit this time around. (Probably they still had quite a few leftovers at the end of the last giveaway.) |

They are all over Tesco here in Liverpool right now! Been to 3 separate stores in the past couple of weeks and they've all had huge displays full of the mediums, larges, Crystals and the mini flower pots too Also try John Lewis and Sainsburys, as I've heard they also have them! |
