That's not a bad price - we have a few of the Revell (and Tamiya) dinosaur kits and they are quite useful for gaming.

Shame we don't have a local branch of Home Bargains....

The Newcastle Poundstretcher?

If so I'll be making a trip to the Toon. I've wanted to build a mammoth for ages.

Popped into my local Home Bargains and picked up an Ankylosaurus and a Mammoth. Thanks for the tip-off guys.

Oooooh! Looks like I'm off to the Dudley Home Bargains tomorrow then  ;D  8)

Then again, with the recent appalling lack of decent toys in our local Poundlands, I'd best not get too excited  >:(
