So, a month ago we were in a shop where for sale, at the small price of £15 is a Lunar Jim, mission control tower. My son pleads for us to by it, we promise he can have it for his borthday if he's a good boy. We STUPIDLY didn't buy it as we were laden with bags and assumed that we could buy it easily. A fortnight from his birthday and we discovered that this toy has been discontinued and we can't find it anywhere.

Has anyone got an unwanted one of these that they would be willing to sell?

Mumsnet is my ONLY hope now

Me and DP are feeling suitable cross with ourselves.

I don't have a mission control tower, but I do have Jim, Ripple and Rover in flying thingies. Is that any good?

Try contacting Fisher Price. It's still on the website, but I can only get in to an American Online Store.

Hurray! Found one in £££stretcher in Leucester, who appear to have stock piled all the remained Mission Control Towers on the planet.
