Tamas in Austria?

[Loona]

Hello there,

I am not sure the thread is in the right place, but I did not find a better one to start it at. If it is at the wrong place, please feel free to move/delete it, or give me an advice on where I should ask this. Thanks

This thread would go out to tama owners from Austria (if there are any. are you there? ). I will have the possibility to visit Vienna for a day next week, and I would like to visit some toy shops to see whether they have tamagotchis or not. Could you please give me some advice on where to go?

Thanks in advance,

Loona

I think they may be...

If you can't find one try ordering one of the Internet.

that's what I usually do, or I would say I have already done and will definitely be doing, but ordering them costs awfully much (last time I ordered 2 tamas they together cost $60, almost half the amount are the postal fees! I could but at least one more tama from that...), which I cannot really afford, that's why I would like to know if I can buy them somewhere in Vienna. buying them there would definitely be less expensive, because there would be no postal fees.

the question is still up

I don't know how many Austrian members we have on TamaTalk, but I'm guessing it is "not very many".

How about using the internet to google some "tourist" info on Vienna - search for tourist info on "shopping" and "toy stores" ?

See if you get some department stores names or toy store names. They may have a web site you can check too.

Otherwise, maybe email the Vienna tourism office and ask for the names of 2 or 3 large stores in Vienna that might sell Tamagotchi toys. It's always worth a try

thank you, but I have already tried searching the net

I do know 4-storey huge toy shops in Vienna, but I would not bother going that way (I will have only one day and will not be alone, so I really have to organise which way to go, what to visit and what not, to spare time) unless there is the possibility of them having tamas. this is why I chose to post this thread, I suppose there are not many members from Austria, but there possibly are some, or at least that's what I hoped, and if there is only one who can help it was already worth trying. unfortunately I can no more even suggest whether they have them or not, for I don't even know if they used to or not. I know that Switzerland used to have them 3 years ago, and Finland also had them last summer in shops (but no more...), so I cannot really see any order in which European country chooses to sell them or not. Anyway, I hope they have them, I would like to buy one at least...

okay, I decided to post just in case someone else's interested for possibly similar reasons (e.g. a trip to Austria):

yes, I found Familitchis in Austria, they are available at the local Toys R Us shops (I didn't even know this store exists in Europe ) for 19.95 euros.

(I did not buy any atm, for I didn't like the designs I found. I never thought I would say this once, for until now I always found US versions too much decorated, and European versions much more beautiful, but this time I think the US versions look much, much better than the European ones, I am happy I ordered two US designs from abroad )
