    I got my LO a Thomas carry case with 3 metal diecast trains (including Thomas) from the Bathgate Home bargains (the same as this one in Argos (£16.99:eek:) for £2.99.

    Models are good quality and for £3 you can't complain I suppose.

    In Bedworth Branch I paid £8 for the case and there were no trains included. It's exactly the one as pictured but no trains.:(

    think someone must have pinched them - you should have returned it. we paid £8 and it had the trains but we had to open 2 before we got one with 3 in.

    bargin if they've reduced them to £2.99 we could do with another.
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:

    £8? In that case I really did get a bargain. I'm going to pop back and see if I can get another to put by for my nephews Xmas.
