Forget Aldi… parents queue at a different store to get their hands on THOSE Bluey chairs – but they’ll have to be quick
THEY were a sell out when they were launched in Aldi earlier this year.
Parents even hit Vinted to try and nab one – with some even paying up to quadruple the original price.
But now mums and dads don’t have to queue up in the supermarket to try and get one of the Bluey chairs.
As one chuffed mum took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share screenshots of the Bluey and Bingo chairs on a different site.
“For those who didn’t manage to get the Bluey chairs from Aldi, they are now on game for preorder!”
The chairs are priced at £26 – down from an original price of £32.
That makes it just one pound more expensive than they were being sold for in Aldi.
Both chairs are pre-order, and will be delivered from September 30.
“There on very also for £32.99 so nearly the same price (£1 extra) by the time you have added £4.99 postage,” one person wrote in the comments section on the Facebook post.
As another wrote: “My brother went to 7 stores looking for them when they come out for us.
“That’s without the 4 I did!”
“This is defo a must,” a third said.
“Ordered mine!” someone else added.
“Never mind the kids, I want one!” another laughed.
As someone else shared a picture of an Aldi catalogue revealing that the Bluey chairs looked as though they will be making a return to the store on September 22.
“I might order one for Christmas,” someone else said.
After the chairs sparked a storm at Aldi, they started popping up on Vinted for astonishing prices.
And mum Harriet was left fuming as she spotted one listing trying to flog the chair for an eye-watering £100.
How much is the Bluey franchise worth?
THE Australian animated show began in 2018 and ran for three seasons.
It became hugely popular Down Under, as well as in the U.S. and the UK.
A valuation expert told Bloomberg that the brand is worth an incredible $2 billion (£1.5 billion).
While it has yet to be confirmed, Bluey creator Joe Brumm teased the possibility of more episodes to come – with a time jump in mind.
“We get a lot of requests to age the characters up,” he told Deadline. “It would completely change the show, but there would be something really sweet about bringing through the new younger characters and having Bluey and Bingo at that babysitting age.
“That would definitely make a bunch of fans very happy.”
”I know it costs £25 at Aldi. If you want, you can it there for that price,” the listing read.
”But you probably won’t get it there because it sold out very quickly.
”My price is £100 and I won’t accept anything less than that.”
Stunned by the price, Harriet revealed it was the description that got her ”the most”.
”Yeah, sold out very quickly – because low life scum like you are buying it and then putting the price up, triple, quadruple, to sell it on Vinted,” she raged on TikTok.
”I just think it’s really disgusting.”
After spotting the advert on the popular platform, the horrified mother reported it to Vinted – however, they allegedly insisted ”that it doesn’t violate the community guidelines”.
”I just feel so sorry for the people out there that wanted to buy these, for Christmas, for their children’s birthdays, and they’ve missed out – because of greedy, selfish people like this,” she added.
