Thorny how about getting a bundle from Ebay they seem really reasonably priced on there.

ThornyBird · 20/11/2016 23:01

insan I think that's where I'll end up - I've just been looking through now. Thank you

Can anyone help find a little stamp (like a hole punch but leaves a shape in either a dinosaur or a tractor ? Flowers

Haudyerwheesht · 20/11/2016 23:07

thorny ELC do nice knight figures

No luck on a tractor though

ThornyBird · 20/11/2016 23:17

haudyer not any more - I cannot find them anywhere. That's where I was planning to get them Sad

confuugled1 · 20/11/2016 23:19

Thorny B&M have a set of scooby doo figures that are about playmobil height for about £6. Not sure how big your castle is sorry.

If your DC like scooby doo then they can add a great different dimension to playing with a castle as they can have those sorts of madcap adventure as well as the more typical knights and soldiers type play with a castle...

ThornyBird · 20/11/2016 23:34

confuugled neither am I as I haven't collected it yet Blush

We've already got a load of Playmobil that will work with it and I've now bid on some eBay bundles. My Mum will get him some figures too so I think it'll all be ok.

I was just flapping as I knew that ELC used to do reasonably priced sets and now they don't Sad This is for dc4 and is the first time in a long while that we haven't been able to use hand me downs Wink. As he is 7 too, I think all sorts will end up living in the Castle...

There's a dinosaur one on ebayy* for £4

Haudyerwheesht · 20/11/2016 23:54

Oh really? That's a shame and also annoying because I just gave away a bundle which you could've had. Might be worth asking on FB selling pages etc see if anyone has any?

Haudyerwheesht · 20/11/2016 23:56

thorny Knights at ELC

ThornyBird · 21/11/2016 00:07

Thank you! How did you find them?! Although they're showing as out of stock :-(

Is that a referral or affiliate link for the urban decay pallette?
It briefly flashes through bettertogether.co.uk before ending up at Debenhams.co.uk so I believe it is

The back lit kindle is reduced on amazon deals at £79.99. Is this a good price? I've only just decided I want one with a back light!

Casablanca78 · 21/11/2016 06:00

Thanks for the Amazon book deal - saved £22 on my 4 books, fab!

yaffle · 21/11/2016 06:16

Wilkinsons/Wilko do Knight figures for around £1-2 not as good quality plastic as the ELC /Papo ones but not bad for the price , also worth looking on Amazon for Papo ones .

margaritasbythesea · 21/11/2016 06:27

Amazon 3 for £10 on adult paperbacks S

Haudyerwheesht · 21/11/2016 06:32

Thanks for the Amazon link. Ordered books including one about poo which ds will be delighted with Hmm

catgirl2 · 21/11/2016 06:47

RoastieToastieReastie · 21/11/2016 06:58

catgirl2 try this from Smyth's. It's a bargain plus it doesnt take up oodles of space like most hot wheels stuff.

Nursenat100 · 21/11/2016 07:26

Car girl packs of hot wheels are £5 at B&Ms if you have one nearby. They usually retail at about £15, so a good buy

livinginhope87 · 21/11/2016 07:41

Tesco has a deal on the Lego popstar bus £12 and the Lego big space shuttle I think £15 and they are on 342 both have rrps of circa £50.

lionsleepstonight · 21/11/2016 07:47

Outofoptions at 30 pounds off that's a great price. As someone that paid full price for one and never regretted it, sounds a bargain to me!
