I'm sat sobbing whilst I wait for Character to restock XD I missed them. When I looked they weren't all listed and only a few avaliable. (Fairy Bloom, Cupie & a few I don't want) Now there all listed but all out of stock Hopefully your new zelfs will arrive soon Starkle

Thanks Starkle for the heads up about Character online shipping world-wide! When I saw it mentioned in the shout box the other day I immediately went to check them out and most the series 6 was sold out but that wasn't surprising since they just came out. Just have to wait.... Any other online stores that anyone knows about, that ship to the US? A Canadian or Australian one might be better for us in the US just because of the exchange rate.

Awww no worries gypsynights, that's what we're here for - to help each other out in our quest for collecting! Hee hee. I don't know of any Canadian or Australian stores, but I know on the FB groups there are people from both places who are able to help find the ones you're missing usually! That may be an option, if you can find a trusted person willing to buy and ship em to you???

I'm looking forward to going on an old fashioned Zelfs hunt! It's been too long! I got Mary Go Round, and thanks to a sweet ZFF in Australia I have Cheffrey and Angel Hop already. Just waiting on a Noodles/Dragonese (*cough!*) in the post from Character!
I wonder which UK stores will get them first. Toys R Us seemed to be quick on the mark last year!

Hello Been lurking since October watching for news and of course keeping an eye on when the new Zelfs turn up in the UK. Just signed up to suggest if you have any independent toy shops to try those? I managed to pick up 7 regular and 5 Crystal wishes from an independent toy shop called Jakes in Petersfield on sunday. Tried several supermarkets, Smyths and Toys R Us (and Entertainer but Im aware Zelfs are too spooky for them to stock for some reason!) and came up with nothing.. the 3 pack is on offer for £7 at Asda though, and most shops that do still have the oldies only have a handful left so Id guess they'll be everywhere soon enough. Not seen any of the new large ones yet.

Yasss I know what you mean Angelala, I can't wait to go Zelf hunting myself! Hopefully this week sometime?!? Hi havoczelf, welcome to the forums! Thanks for your advice, I've heard a few people mention independent toy shops having the new series already so that's excellent! Congrats on getting your Series 6's already!!

Grrrrr! I went to Smyths today, hopeful that they had Series 6 seeing as they're on the website now! Only found S5! Asked assistant, oh we won't get them in til the 24th! Erm, today is the 24th I said. Well after the 24th, and our next delivery is not til Monday now. Needless to say I was gutted.

Well after what seems an age of waiting I have finally managed to start off my series 6 Zelfs with the wonderful Rein-Doe, Frostelle, Howlie and Peak-a-boo already here and Gar-girl on the way. Unfortunately I have had to buy them from all from ebay as none of my usual Zelf hunting spots such as Tesco, Argos ect seem to be getting any stock. Do we know if Tesco ect will be stocking the series 6s? I have always enjoyed going Zelf hunting in the shops and it is worrying me that they do not seem to be popping up in any of the usual places, it is a real shame as this is such a great series.

Congrats on getting the first of your Series 6 sketalia! Yeah distribution has been rather strange over here in the Uk hasn't it? Instead of all the shops getting them at the same time, we've had places like independent toy shops getting the mediums, bigger toy stores like Smyths only getting the Larges and Crystals and Tesco's getting the Mini's only so far! Rather strange!?!? We don't anything really for definite until people post where they've found Zelfs, if I hear anything I usually let people on here know anyway. Even character-online (the official UK sellers) have been ropey with their incoming stock this time round.

I would say this has more to do with Moose than anything, as they really seem to have given up on the Zelfs. Don't give up hope, though, there are always ways and means. I've noticed sellers on ebay are putting them up for either the asking price, or a couple pound dearer, which isn't SO bad, considering. Good luck finding them, everyone.

Just purchased my first series 6 zelfs - Crystal Cupie, Noodles, Hightail and Moonflight. The others I want aren't in stock at the moment.

Post by Starkle on Jul 29, 2016 11:06:19 GMT -5
Congrats Marsha! Did you get them off character-online? Only Flittabelle, Wishbeam, Moonflight and Pretty Kit have been in stock this week of the mediums. I do rather like the new Crystals though, so glad you managed to get them too!

Post by Snowanne on Jul 29, 2016 16:01:11 GMT -5
I did Starkle I noticed those 4 were in stock and I do want Wishbeam but I'm hoping to get to get her with Angel-Hop, Fairy Bloom, Frostelle, Rein-doe and Howlie for the free postage. Just need to wait for them to arrive now

Will take pics soon.

Cool. Congratz Marsha! Which two did you get?
I picked up a couple of mini's last week with my haul, managed to get Frostelle duplicates and Flittabelle also! I think i bought 5, and all 5 were combo's of those two only! Haha. XD
How many of Zeries 6 do you have now, and who else in on your wishlist?

Well, despite what that Tesco staff member told us, they had the new Zelfs in! They had a display up and everything! ....But out of over 20+ mediums, not a single Gar Girl. Multiples of many others, though. I was so gutted that I only walked away with a couple of the Lils. Does anyone know if she's the new 'rare medium'? Like Flare was?

Post by Starkle on Aug 17, 2016 15:12:26 GMT -5
Hey Garny, I think she is a harder one to find, but from what I've heard Peek-a-Boo is the Rarer one to find for S6, from what I've heard? I'm on holiday this week, but i went into Smyths in Blackpool, and they have a Gar-Girl here if you want I can pick one up and send it out to you, when I get back next week? Its no bother at all.

I'm not going to lie. My heart is very broken that the Zelfs are not in America anymore. One of my friends in Canada is going to try and get me some of the series 6 though when they come out there.

Late reply!
Tried Smyths. Another Peak-a-Boo (which I got this time), but STILL no Gar-girl! Tried another Tesco store, no Gar-girl. I can't believe how hard it is (for me at least) to track this girl down! Stores around me have everyone available but her. Character also have her out of stock along with Peak-a-Boo.

Just an update. ASDA are now stocking S6 Zelfs. No Rein-Doe sadly or I would have snapped her straight up. No Gar-Girl either Garny but will keep a look out.

No luck finding either Gar-Girl or Reindoe down here either this week, for you both, I'll keep looking though! p.s, dreamcatcher - I hope you're enjoying your stay in the UK so far!

Ooooooh ayyliens, blind bags as opposed to the mini pots??? Could you take a picture or two to show us please? Awwww Gar-Girl is cute, but i can understand your frustration if they were all Gar-Girl inside! XD
