Tomy/Tomica Thomas Road N Rail Track Sets/Pieces?

pennyuk

I've been looking for the Thomas the Tank Engine Road N Rail Sets (blue track in plastic with bridges, slopes and battery operated trains etc.) online in the Sales, but cannot find anyone that is doing them at reduced prices.

I wondered if any of you eagle eyed shoppers might have noticed any sets either in toy shops or department stores etc.?

I have purchased a lot off eBay, but most of these appear to from traders (I'd almost kill to get their wholesale sources!!!) and do not offer great savings.

A long shot, but you never know if anyone else is as crazy as me and loves children's train sets (my excuse is that I do have 2 toddlers!).

Thanks in advance,
Penny

Cant offer much advice apart from start scouring your local car boots etc in the early spring.

We have just shelled out a fortune on take along Thomas which hubby seems to think will get replaced in the future with something else (NOT).

Good luck - can I send my Thomas fan around?

Firstly... thanks for your reply and secondly... will the Thomas fan come accompanied with all his/her toys too? If so, then the answer would be yes, because I seem to rather enjoy playing with the toys aswell (who said an adult had to grow up?!?!?).

A car boot fair is where this obsession all started, someone gave my son a train set for 20p and since then our house has been taken over by it! I imagine those non-hardened enthusiasts will be fed up with the mess by the Spring so your advice is great - the car boot sales will have all sorts of things by then and I may be able to collect enough so that I never have to vacuum the carpet again!

Good luck with your collection (and trying to keep law and order in your household!).
