I got the Eagle for £1.99
Panda for £1.99
Parrot for £1.99
Cat for .99
Dog for .99
Snake for .99

very basic models but good detail and fun to build lol ,, the box says for ages 7+ , at 39 i guess i should be ok

Those are nice looking models. Here in the USA a couple of years ago the same line of models were on sale at some stores. I snagged the cat, dog, and snake that you have and also a t-rex, horse, and elephant. The eagle, panda, and parrot were not available. I keep looking in the close-out sections of the various stores I go to, hoping that some were found in the wharehouse.






The blue cube is 2 inches, the red cube is 5cm. The three in the pictures are all basically the same height at the shoulders. I did not have a scale cube when I took the pictures of the horse and t-rex.

These are nice little models. Rick Steffers, introduced me to these and he has built a few of them.
They are a real bargain if you can find them. They are becoming very scarce here in the US and very hard to find.
I think they were selling for $10-$12 a piece here in the US, which is about 5 or 6 British Pounds.

Congrats on a great find and for getting the family involved!

Default ???

dunno if anyone would be interested?

i could probably get hold of a lot more if anyone wants one?

dunno how much they would be to send through the post but i would certainly try if anyone wants me too?

all i would ask is to cover what ever it costs me to do.

i:e if its .99 for the model and £2.00 for postage then i would expect £2.99..

i have a paypal account to make it easy.

drop me a message if you are intrested?

laterz all
