Hi all---

Does anyone know of any good sources for Bob the Builder toys/action figures for kids? Some of my nephews are very into Bob the Builder, and want figures that are no longer available. Wendy, Pilchard, and Lofty are the ones that we're looking in particular, for those who know Bob the Builder characters.

A sample auction we're already outbid in:

Thanks John!

Apologies for this irrelevant/irreverent post. But I liked it so much, I had to share it. Make sure your sound is on and you're not easily offended.

Merry Christmas everyone...

Hi John---

I'm in Kansas at the moment, and don't have the previous info you sent to me before: can you please resend the ship date and/or tracking info if you tracked the Bob the Builder shipment? We'd like to see if it should arrive tomorrow or not. Feel free to email or PM me, I can access both (just not the old emails already downloaded in CA...).

Thanks

Yeah, I can't believe that after all of the extra hand-wringing, posts, and emails, that the box was under the table all along

Thanks again for your help---Alex has already enjoyed playing with them a lot
