Help: Where on earth can I get one of these???

A couple of years ago we saw a model of an ice rink in a shop at Christmas time. It was a nice model, the rink was made of glass and it had 4 or 5 ice skaters that were gracefully moving around the glass. It plugged in to the mains for power. The ice skaters could be plucked off the ice so I'm assuming there were magnets moving around under the glass and they were faithfully following.

Anyway, my search in the last few weeks for something similar has proved fruitless. Does anyone have the foggiest idea where I could find such a model.

ps. They weren't cheap!

    I know what you are talking about and have seen them in Glasgow, but where I cant remember exactly. They are lovely. Maybe try Debenhams or John Lewis?

    Thanks JJ. I'll look at their websites now. There was a place in the Isle of Wight that did them too, (Busy Bee), but I rang them today and they were MOST unhelpful :confused:
