Early Learning Centre Sale - Thomas the Tank

Went to a summer holiday play scheme today with my two year old and they had a thomas the tank airflow toy there - it was fantastic.

Had a look on ELC website and they have reduced them from £220 to £110. Would make a fantastic xmas pressy for a Thomas fan if you have the room.

Other outdoor toys reduced too.

Out of stock online now.

    BTW re the actual item...this isn't one of those art installations that gets a bit 'kitey' when the breeze gets up?
  • Cheers OP - have just bought one for Thomas-mad DS who will be 3 next week.

    Went through Quidco for 4% cashback too.

    Excellent spot! I had ordered this in June for the price of £175 ready for my sons birthday in August. I have just phoned ELC to see if they would give me the £65 difference, but they said no! I then asked if I could return this item for a full refund which they said yes! So I have ordered another one for £110 and will take the old one back to a store for a refund of £175. Seems a bit silly that we have to go through all this but they insist this is the only way....worth it though for £65!!
