I got it a week ago and unfortunately it worked for few hours then stopped working. I changed the batteries but the fish didn't come back to life. My lo was crying that his dory died.

I'd go ask for a refund/swap/money back if it just stopped working out of nowhere (and if you weren't treating it badly)

Baby Dory!! So cute. There's batteries inside plus a spare set. Bargain for 2.99... can't wait for bath time :innocent:

Acquired both ages of Dory, but no Nemo, Marlin or Bailey in Bradford or Shipley

Got a dory and a nemo. Loads left as at first I got a big and little dory. He went and checked because they had 3 different locations in the back. Marlin was also available.
Collected mine from Argos today. For some reason, it wasn't the Dory/Nemo licenced one, sadly. I was going to ask them to change it but noticed it came with a rechargeable battery and charging station, so decided to keep it after all.

If you can wait - you can order as many as you like for much less from ALI Express - and free postage. They are no way worth £2.99 let alone 9.99. You'll understand what I mean when you get them.

I can't collect mine for 5 days, it says. I'm assuming the price will have increased by then? :man:
funkeymunkey to bellboys
24 Mar 171#49
If it does (i dont think it will) they'll honor the price (sometimes)
Or you could just order it online to collect instore but pay online using an argos account which would mean you'd get it for the price you paid online
if that makes sense

I've just ordered and paid online. Picking up in 5 days, but I'm sure they will honour it, as I've already paid.

Definitely not AA. It's some kind button cells (like hearing aid batteries).
From googling looks like it might be LR44s

Chosen at random, unless you ask them to show you the ones they have, so you can pick it yourself

My cats love these, stick the fish in a clear bowl and watch them go... oh just make sure you have some sort of cloth under the bowl, water everywhere.
