Nah, not that one. I can't seem to find it on their web shop actually. It was on sale at half price so perhaps they were going to it bin it otherwise and it's not in the catalogue anymore?

Post by: has.been on 10 May 2014, 07:57:54 AM: I like the idea of having the spiders white. I am hoping to do a 50s B movie game & have stocked up on (giant) insects from Poundland & Wilkinsons (last Haloeen). They have just got to be white now. Thank you for sharing.

It has been a tradition to meet up with some friends every summer and have a game exactly 50's b movie style. We even have a 50 foot woman too. lol

Let me just qualify that with an actual linky: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=26828.msg362419#msg362419

Just picked up a load of "joke shop" ants from The Works - in their clearance deal.
Could only see ants & cockroaches.

Dr The Viking, you rotter! For years now I have only raided the 'boys toys' at the cheap shops & charity shops. Now after seeing you excelent work I have to look through the 'girls toys' as well! Thanks for sharing & giving me (another) project.
