You could go to Hamley's and pay well over the odds, e.g. £35 for a Railroad Jinty that lists for about £27.50.
I just checked the dealer I bought my LMS Jinty from for £21.99, and it's now listed as Discontinued!
Went to Hamleys a couple of days ago, high price indeed. Only spent a couple of mins in train section. Expected something special but bit of a let down, except for the demo people, they were good.
Cheers, Simon
