Lego trees

does anyone know where i can get a big bundle of lego trees from or model trees that are similar to lego trees? i have seen groups of about 5 on ebay but they are going to cost me a fortune as i need quite a large amount as we are making up a lego city for my son and he has one city in our house and one in my parents so we do need quite a lot, i have seen some model trees but none of them seem to have bases and i need them to be free standing. want to find them as cheap as possible so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Your only option is ebay, as the trees are not sold in bundles- just in sets.

    No problem! I have a lego mad family myself-we have lego everywhere!

    Your best bet is to watch a couple of auctions for the trees- I've noticed a few sets(of trees) going for £5 for 12 or so. If I were you I'd wait a little before buying on ebay as the prices are high at the moment because of christmas.

    Good luck! I think it looks great when you build a village, we are hooked- we have a lego city, lego harbour, airport, railway station and housing estate.....I used to have a dining room too...not anymore LOL!

  • haha yea same here, he's just had aload for christmas to :) i love the stuff because its one thing he will actually play with, we've just bought some felt today to make up roads and sand and water and we're using large notice boards to put them onto. my parents have got a massive table over their house with the passenger train with the overhead train station and mining cave and all the other bits that go with the mining cave. just wish we had the extra room because i'd love to set up a spare room just for lego.

    Thanks for your advice :D

    Much cheaper to buy them direct, even with postage.
