Big’s new castle. Look, < —— over there. The castle is really rather nice, made by “Le Toy Van” and bought from Billycat in Sheffield which has a lot of super stuff. More toys worth buying in a small floor space than you will find in the entire wilderness that is Toys ‘R’ Us.

I also got a handful of Papo figures which are marketed with the castle, they are 1/24th scale, which means there is a nice lot of detail in them and it should be possible to diversify from the one brand. I suspect that Big is going to drag me back to the shop for more (so that is her pocket money dealt with) at the weekend.

    Oh that’s nice, we have the blue (slightly simpler) version, made by the same people. It’s had loads of play value here 🙂

    I debated with myself getting one of the smaller ones, but pound for pound this one seemed to offer more stuff to do. It was quite expensive though.

    Now, who’s enjoying this the most, Tim? You or the children? 😉

    Cool castle!
    My boys would have loved something like that when they were younger.

    Can’t have too big a castle 🙂 Or too many- we have three!
    Hoping it’s a joke but on that site they are selling bored games.

    I suspect it’s a joke 😉
    The little people have been dragged to Jan’s and Small played with them while Big explored the Furby 🙂 Slightly concerned that one may have gone astray already though 😉

    I’m hoping someday to get a real castle 😉 Looks like many hours of fun.
