    I got one of these a couple of years ago. At the time, we needed a fireman's helmet (don't we all?) and it was cheaper to buy the box than one helmet elsewhere!

    The box is quite big, but light, so it could be carried home

    It's certainly worth it for the helmets and swords etc, but I personally think the 'outfits' themselves are much too cheap. They are made of quite thin plastic, and tear very easily. They are really just cheap decorated plastic raincoats I've since added some better outfits to the box.

    Is this a double wardrobe of a couple fancy dress outfits? :D
    Its in a chest, i was trying to get an idea of what chest was like, wood, card(probably) so need to check or i'll look a right idiot if i turn up for it with my push chair and can't carry it home.

    It's cardboard............filled with plastic!
  • They had a similar box in a store called "instore" for £4.99. Worth a look if you have one near you.

    Note that all dress up clothes in woolies are still buy one get one half price - there are some great fairy outfits for £8 - get the second for £4

    Can you tell me if the outfit is massive as it only say 3yrs +. My daughter is 2 and a half and that would make a great Christmas present but I don't know if it would be too big for her.

    Thanks

    I bought this for my four year old (she is as big as a five year old though) and some of the costumes were too small. i would say it would be fine for a 2 1/2 year old.

    Ok brilliant. Thanks. I called my local Woolworths and they are putting one on the side for me. Bargain
