Can anyone help me find Hiro?

[Thesimplethings]

Ds1 really wants Hiro from Thomas and friends for Christmas. I can't find it anywhere in the shops and its around £45 on the Internet. A lot of money for a toddlers train is it really that rare? I can't justify that amount of money on a small toys as I've already blown my budget on the train sets.

Does anyone know where I can find one?

We recently managed to get one from ebay, but yes, they are ridiculously hard to find! Toys R Us did have them in store a little while ago - could be worth a try asking them

[bundaberg]

ahh yes I think Hiro "retired" unfortunately... ebay???

is it the wooden one you're after or a different one?

The Toys R Us.com website has some Hiro trains. Most expensive is $29.99 which is about £18. Pretty sure they ship to the UK?

Have you tried the national railway museums? At York or County Durham.

They have a huge range of Thomas trains and I'm sure they'll be happy to help

[woooooooobooo]

They have the take n play hiro for £7.50 and trackmaster Japanese import for £30 on TOOTALLY THOMAS website. They're great for having hard to find ones. Dd is Thomas mad and tootallyThomas have been a lifesaver for me
