To still want a Big Yellow Teapot?

Inspired by the thread about childhood toys

I had one. It was my pride and joy. My bitch of a DM smashed it up in front of me.

Does ANYWHERE still sell them?

Hi, AllRoads, l have just typed in Big Yellow Teapot and you get some one from Ebay. Hope you get one.

FlamingoFlower · 19/04/2017 14:29

have you tried ebay? I've still got all my toys I just couldn't let go of them!
Whole collection of my little ponies along with the castle and various other buildings, big yellow teapot, get along gang club house caboose and the big red chimney pot!

Still sat in the attic collecting dust Grin

You can get them on eBay for around £10. With figures and a biox from £50.

YANBU, that was a horrible thing of your mother to do. I had one, it was amazing. Get thee to eBay.

You are DNBU. I really wanted a Mr. frosty when I was a kid, but was never allowed 😢. My DH bought me one for Xmas many years ago...bloody loved it, made vodka slushies!!

I still hanker after this other toy I did have, can't remember the exact name, but it was a big, plastic aeroplane that folded out, and came with an air steward hat and little trolley...anyone remember that? And a pretend post office, with little stamps, postcards and envelopes. I bloody loved that thing 😍

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 19/04/2017 14:38

Fuck me running...there's a MAJOR MORGAN on ebay too!!

I bought one for a couple of pounds from a charity shop years ago - I think we still have it! DD loved it and used to ram her Happyland figures inside it (they get stuck in the spout) as ours didn't come with any figures.

wiccamum, Mr Frosty must have improved then. I had one as a kid (early 80s) and it was shit. It used to grate the plastic from Mr Frosty's hat along with the ice. It was a real let-down.

RuggerHug · 19/04/2017 15:03

Why the hell did your Mam do that?Sad
There's still one in my parents attic that I am very much looking forward to getting once I have my DC in a few weeks, we knew holding onto it would pay off.
Mr Frosty was shite though. Still bitter I hankered after him for so long and wasted my communion money on himAngry

glitterglitters · 19/04/2017 15:05

YADNBU. Maybe scour the doctor's surgeries of the land and follow any clues left by the equally awesome big brown boots and you may find one!?

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 19/04/2017 15:16

Rugger if I got started on my "egg doner" I'd be here all day.

Did anyone have a Big Red Funbus?

OP posts:
glitterglitters · 19/04/2017 15:18

No i wanted one so badly. Though now, as an adult, the whole house as a bus raises a lot of practicality questions.

upperlimit · 19/04/2017 15:18

Did weebles come with the big yellow teapot? Or did I just play with them together?

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 19/04/2017 15:21

There were little figures. I remember a plastic girl with a red dress and yellow hair who I SO wanted to be like. (Egg doner again telling me daily that I was too ugly to be any use), and a dog. Was there a car too?

OP posts:
upperlimit · 19/04/2017 15:23

I vaguely remember a car (blue?) but I think all my toys got mashed up together, I'm not sure what went with what.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 19/04/2017 15:25

I had a big tree house thing that came with figures. I didn't know there was a teapot!

upperlimit · 19/04/2017 15:25

Your mother sounds vile Flowers

CheshireChat · 19/04/2017 15:33

AllRoad Get yourself that teapot if it makes you happy, I still have my Barbies for which I used to save about 6 months for one. Also an elephant teddy that I found at the seaside.

Also, you might be interested in the Stately Homes thread.
