DS3 (7) is quite heavily on the autistic spectrum, has LD and SAL delay, and goes to special school (as does DS2 (10) who's also on the spectrum with LD).
He, like many other children, goes through phases of having certain tv shows that he will only watch - at the moment, it's Zingzillas, Mr Tumble and Postman Pat. His birthday's coming up in December, and the one thing he keeps showing me (deliberately) is a Zingzillas playset. It's the one with the island and little plastic figurines - and of course, they're very rare now. My mum was watching one on ebay hoping to bid for it, but it went for £61.00! It gets really bad reviews as a toy, but it's just the disappointment on his little face when he doesn't get one - he's never asked for anything this much before.
DH, my mum and I have been searching for one online - can we find one? Of course that's why they go for double the original price now.
Does anyone have any ideas of where we might be able to find one? Are there any old or rare toy websites out there?
