THUNDERBIRDS ARE GONE - HELP!

11 replies

willow2 · 06/02/2004 10:54

Can anyone help? DS is seriously into Thunderbirds and his birthday is next month - but I cannot find any Thunderbirds toys anywhere. It seems that, with a new Thunderbirds movie out in the summer, the range is being relaunched and old merchandise is no longer available. Has anyone sighted the little beggars anywhere?

Lots on ebay , willow - probably your best bet as googling doesn't seem to turn anything up.

Or you could start a new thread under Swap Shop! I bet there are mumsnetters who have the things at home and nobody plays with them any more!

There are some thunderbird toys on Amazon.co.uk . Hope you find what you're looking for!

Willow2, a discount toyshop near me had Tracy Islands and Thunderbird vehicles before Christmas. I will be going there on Saturday and will check for you.
Annoying when they do this, isn't it.

really annoying, isn't it?
toysrus had quite a few tracy islands a few weeks ago. hadn't seen them anywhere else for ages so maybe worth a try on the website or phoning up your local one?

they have removed them all before the new film comes out in the summer I think

get a big tb2 if you can, much played with

Nothing there this week Willow but I will keep checking, as the owner goes to his wholesaler weekly and I did eventually acquire Thunderbird 2 and Tracy Island this way.

Went to visit DS' cousins yesterday and...

they'd found very old Thunderbird 1,2,3 and 4 in the loft - and a Stingray!

DS is currently vrooming away on various rescue missions and happy as can be!

Also located a Tracy Island on the web at a good price - so his birthday surprise looks all set. Thanks everyone for your suggestions - Thunderbirds are Go!
