£115 for a rickety wendy house !! and £75 for a sheet !?!?!

AND the quote unquote wendy house requires self assembly!!! for that price they should deliver it, build it, provide an afternoon's childcare together with NEW 100% fruit Fruit Shoots and a chilled bottle of Chardonnay with bowls of stuffed olives and smoked almonds

stupidly overpriced IMO!

KTeePee · 08/02/2007 14:18

I have been bit at some of their prices lately, eg £30 for

this

basically a piece of plastic

I was shocked at that tippee too, am quite disappointed with their new book the only stuff that I think is reasonably priced and that I would buy my son was in the last book.
Except for dinoworld that looks good my neice got fairy world for xmas and its lovely.

Have to say that the Happy Land stuff from ELC is all great value stuff though. Very playable, string, sturdy and hard wearing, hours of imaginative fun - and very good resale value too.

Friend's DS has the planet protectors things. I didn't think they were that badly priced - not compared to the canvas tent things!

wasn't impressed with the front cover of their latest catalogue either
you wouldn't get that elsewhere

Sheraz · 09/02/2007 09:59

I thought planet protectors stuff was ok value. DS2 had it for Xmas, really chunky and he plays with it a lot. But the teepee - outrageous. Too girly as well a lot of the stuff.

I think they're trying to compete with GLTC/Letterbox etc.

£500 for a pirate ship? It has no slide and very limited climbing. I don't know what it's point is? I could certainly build a bottomless boat for less than half that price including real brass portholes. You could probably buy an old wooden rowing boat for less money as well.

Love Happyland though.

£75 for a sheet. OMG...

KTeePee · 09/02/2007 11:12

My sisters are buying ds2 some of those planet protectors for his birthday - that will save me a fortune

The £75 sheet is out of stock though. Perhaps it has sold out already since it is so popular?

WigWamBam · 09/02/2007 16:02

£75 for a sheet? And it's out of stock, so some pillocks have been taken in!

JoPG · 09/02/2007 16:10

Am off to ebay to see how much I can get for a couple of old king size sheets. I am going to be rich, rich I tell you!

merrily · 09/02/2007 16:23

Yes I've looked at the storage, tables and chairs recently and they are vv overpriced too.

They are always doing 20% off promotions, so I reckon they price everything up accordingly. Still expensive though even with the discount!
