Have just been to 3 supermarkets looking for toy landrovers for my son's birthday... Couldn't find anything and very little choice online and mostly going for £20 or more. Got every brand from supercars to ford / jeep / hummer / VW / Audi etc etc for £2-3 each, but no land rovers - what am I missing?

Only want a small scale like 1:50 - 1:80... eventually bought some second hand off eBay but still surprised that these aren't on more UK shelves - British heritage anorl that
Ere go

 
Cut some of me naybors hedge so me squirrel can run along the wall to his tree. Recently spottid him running across the grass as the hedge grow'd over the wall. It were raining but had to be done assits bin day. Me bin is quite hevvy as eye has been pushing it down to make space.
 
Mornin
Cold grey and damp :(
Job I hate today, loading the camper van with food and drink for 4 days :)
Foxgloves taken a battering during the night, might have to stake them :(
Lawn needs cutting but it's too wet :(
On the bright side, errr , got trifle for tea :D
Stay dry all :)
 
Ere go


Thanks, looks good! But just struggling to justify £9 plus carriage - I know it's a good quality model so maybe worth it as a collector item but I can get Hummer's, Jeeps and Dodge pickup in a supermarket for > £3 each... Just felt disappointed I can't bring my kid up on good ole land rovers - I'll just have to get him a proper disco when he's 17 😜

Got my 110 in Asda a few years ago for a couple of quid, think those days are over, nowt cheap any more.
Good selection on Amazon plus a brilliant birthday card that plays landy engine noises :D

When I retired my 6th-form form group bought me a Defender 90 diecast model with an ifor-williams fing ont back like for hanimals. Dunno what scale. But not dinky size. Iner wrong countree to be able to look at it. Lives on the all stand so i see it all the time.
They did also buy me a good bot! then that was 9 years ago!
