my daughter is looking for thunderbirds tracy island for my DGS's birthday. she has managed to find one for £73, does anyone know if anywhere is selling them cheaper?

No sorry. That is the cheapest you will get it.

The price of having kids eh? I remember my nephew wanting it (in the very late 90s/very early 00's I think it was,) and it was fifty quid then! Probably equivalent to the 70 odd it is now

Companies are pretty mean charging so much for this toy, knowing how much peoples kids want it.

One mould and that is it. Why so expensive?!

Rip off!

Be aware that the DIY version takes a very long time for the papier mache to dry!

There are a few on ebay. It's anyone's guess as to what they will sell for but worth a try anyway.

By chance I just saw this. Littlewoods Ireland is having a sale and Tracy Island is €79. And promo code 6kc7kgives a further 10% off. That brings it to around £50-55 depending on the exchange rate your bank offers. I'm not sure about delivery though but it could be worth checking out.
