Too bad, I just flogged one on Ebay... bumping for you.

TinselTamum · 04/12/2004 18:38

I think they are one of those makes where the prices are pretty much fixed. I've never seen any real reductions on the RRP. You can get job lots on eBay- not always all that cheap but definitely worth a look.

I happened to notice that there is a shop devoted to just these toys round the corner from me in Finsbury Park, N4. Have you tried there?

where in Finsbury Park? please? Smile

bundleofyulelogs · 07/12/2004 13:58

the shop is just off blackstock rd, on mountgrove rd, the sort of cut thru bit to stokey newington

MarsselectionboxLady · 07/12/2004 14:05

Is it right at the Finsbury Park end of Blackstock road or do I need to go further. Planning to be in FP next week

Polgarainapeartree, I checked MailOrderExpress, which is where I got the caravan, and they are out of stock. They are still on the website at \link{http://www.toyopia.co.uk/shop.asp?ToyID=101673&AgeRange=+&CatCode=+&Make=+&PriceLimit=+&Keyword=caravan\Toyopia}, though it doesn't say whether they are in stock. The people there are very nice to deal with by phone though, so I would try calling. I get the impression it's not such a well-known site, so they might have some in stock still. Good luck!

the turning is near to the road which leads down to arsenal football ground (gillespie rd) - in fact almost opposite it, over blackstock road, about 5 or 6 mins walk from fp tube. or arsenal.

\link{http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002E5P8G/202-2631222-2467012\amazon} have it too, apparently in stock and free delivery.

MarsselectionboxLady · 07/12/2004 15:02

Thank you. Will go in and have a look next week. Grin

SantaFio2 · 07/12/2004 15:04

Thank you all. Rang Entertainer this morning - yes they have got one in but no they won't keep it for me til tomorrow morning which is the earliest I can get there Angry. They will keep it today but put it back out half an hour before they close so it might get sold in that half hour grrr grrr - why are people so unhelpful?
