Forget Aldi… parents are queuing at multiple stores to get one of THOSE Bluey chairs

They sold out instantly when they launched at Aldi earlier this year.

Parents even tried to get one on Vinted, with some paying four times the original price.

But now, moms and dads no longer have to queue at the supermarket to get their hands on one of the Bluey chairs.

While a happy mother looks at the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share screenshots of the Bluey and Bingo chairs on another site.

“For those who weren’t able to get their hands on the Bluey chairs at Aldi, they’re now available to order!”

The chairs cost £26, down from the original price of £32.

That makes them only a pound more expensive than they cost at Aldi.

Both chairs can be ordered now and will be delivered from September 30th.

“On top of that it also costs £32.99 so almost the same price (£1 extra) if you add in £4.99 shipping,” someone wrote in the comments on the Facebook post.

As another wrote: “My brother went to 7 stores to find them when they came out for us.

“That’s without the 4 I did!”

“This is an absolute must,” said a third.

“I ordered mine!” someone else added.

“Never mind the kids, I want one too!” laughed another.

Someone else shared a photo of an Aldi catalogue showing that the Bluey chairs will be back in stores from September 22.

“I might order one for Christmas,” said someone else.

After the chairs caused a storm of enthusiasm at Aldi, they also surfaced on Vinted for astonishing prices.

Mother Harriet was furious when she saw someone trying to sell the chair for the staggering sum of £100.

How much is the Bluey franchise worth?

The Australian animated series started in 2018 and ran for three seasons.

It became hugely popular in Australia, as well as in the US and UK.

A valuation expert told Bloomberg the brand is worth as much as $2 billion (£1.5 billion).

While it hasn’t been confirmed yet, Bluey creator Joe Brumm has already hinted at the possibility of more episodes, albeit with a time jump in mind.

“We get a lot of requests to age up the characters,” he said Term“It would completely change the show, but there would be something really sweet about bringing in the new, younger characters and having Bluey and Bingo at that babysitting age.

“That would definitely make a lot of fans very happy.”

“I know it’s £25 at Aldi. If you want you can get it there for that price,” the advert said.

”But you probably won’t get it there, because it sold out very quickly.

“My price is £100 and I will accept nothing less than that.”

Harriet was stunned by the award and said it was the description that earned her ‘the most’.

“Yeah, it sold out really fast because scum like you buy it and then triple, quadruple the price to sell it on Vinted,” she fumed on TikTok.

“I just find it disgusting.”

After seeing the advert on the popular platform, the shocked mother reported it to Vinted, who reportedly insisted that “the advert does not violate the community guidelines”.

“I really feel sorry for the people who wanted to buy these things for Christmas or for their children’s birthdays, but who missed out on the opportunity – because of greedy, selfish people like these,” she added.
