For what these jokers want for simplistic Thomas items, you could pre-order Hornby's new top of the range Black Five, with smoke and sound. And if you pre-order two (one to keep and one to sell), choose your eBay moment and you'll probably recoup your entire expenditure! Trying not to be cynical... Yes that’s true but hardly the same market target. Try giving your eight year old that and see what happens lol ( note as 8 year old me I’d have much preferred the latter but I was the minority!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
