I tried to get this everywhere for dd2 but not in any shops near me and phoned them and there will be no more stock before Xmas. I asked them why and she just said it was very popular - so why didnt they organise more for Xmas I ask myself. We havn't actually tried it just thought it looked like something she would like. There has been some on ebay and you may be lucky in local ELC.

elsie21 - managed to get one in our local ELC - the girl there said they are never quite sure what will turn up in the deliveries and they often get stuff that is out of stock on the website, so might be worth having another look....

My mum has a set for the grandchildren - it has been going a while as her set is far from new. I'd say it is ok but nothing special. Think they've created a couple of vehicles out of it and it holds a fair bit of weight as a ride on. We had wooden Brio Builder sets for ds which is more compact and robust.
