Tracy Island - on sale ANYWHERE???

21 replies

AllBuggiedOut · 19/06/2007 21:56

Does anybody know if you can still buy the Thuderbirds Tracy Island set (and the vehicles) anywhere? Have looked everywhere I can think of online (Woolies, Argos, Mailorderexpress, John Lewis etc etc) and locally but no joy.

Thanks!

Can only find some of the bits new on ebay, and really would like to buy the whole lot together and new - but fear it is discontinued now

Do Woolworths not sell them anymore?

JackieNo · 19/06/2007 22:06

Not this then?

lucykate · 19/06/2007 22:06

i think it is discontinued. keep trying ebay, someone is bound to put the whole lot up as a job lot.

put an ad on here in the wanted section, there may be a ds whose outgrown theirs and willing to sell

Toys R Us had loads in fairly recently.

UCM · 19/06/2007 22:07

Couldn't you make it?

lucykate · 19/06/2007 22:07

maybe not discontinued then after all

Posey · 19/06/2007 22:07

The Argos one is out of stock at all my local stores, and I phoned customer services to ask where they did have it and they couldn't tell me. Also no vehicles.

Which Woolies, Posey?

As far as I know the recent ones dont come with vehicles ..you have to get them individually.. mind you our set is about 7 years old i think

Cornsilk - which Toys r Us? Again, nothing on the website.

May have to resort to making one UCM

No, I'm sure you have to buy the vehicles separately, but need to source both at the same time as don't want to be stuck with Island and nothing to go in it!

Argos had them last winter - may well have them again this year ready for Christmas

cornsilk · 19/06/2007 22:45

I saw them in Altrincham Toys R us in Manchester

allieBongo · 19/06/2007 22:48

Thanks allie - I am hoping for new as it's a birthday present but it's a kind offer and much more appealing that trying to make one!

It was Woolies in Islington, North London. But it doesn't come with the vehicles. We got those seperately from Argos and they don't appear to be in this season's catalogue
