ELC's is down to £20 now as well! Too bad ds1 is too old and ds2 too young!

oh wow - i'm so glad you pointed out that elc one - thats what dd wants for xmas/birthday - she can have it now!!!

I'v just looked at the M&S site and it still says £40 - how strange. Great news about the ELC one - I almost bought that the other week for $40.

Azure · 18/11/2004 14:07

£40 - I don't know why I used the dollar sign just then.

zephyrcat · 18/11/2004 14:09

You're not going mad - it's a different fort. The other one is grey. Thanks for the tip.

I blame Aero - if I hadn't been looking for her Noah's Ark I'd be none the wiser!

Kangamummy - did you get it???

I have ordered one - there is a two week wait.

Anyone recommend some figures to go with it?
It is for DD and I think that she might prefer a dragon, a witch, princesses and princes rather than knights.

You can buy figures from Letterbox (see top of page) - groups of 4 characters such as "Royal Family" are about £15.00. I am sure Toys R Us do individual dragons as well.

How big is the wooden fort? will i still be able to get one?

cellulitequeen · 01/12/2004 14:43

The fort is:

H45 x W53 x D53cm

Item code T21-4710D

Although they are showing as available on the M&S website, don't count your chickens so to speak. I tried to order one a couple of weeks ago and it took them a couple of days to let me know that they were out of stock (even though my order had gone through okay).

Sozie · 01/12/2004 14:56

I've just order one and everything seemed to go through but will wait and see if the email they send says out of stock - well worth a try though

Sozie · 01/12/2004 15:08

Just had a phone call from M&S saying sorry but this item is now out of stock and they have no way of knowing when more may come in. Oh well this ds has enough for xmas anyway.
