Buying some stuff for my nephew and have a choice of a 6" T2 or the much larger one (20" I think). What would a 6 year old boy prefer? Are they interested in the figurines as well?

Crumbs I'm out of touch! I though the small diecast ones were the way to go.

How about the figurines? Get some or not?

Where do you buy a Thundrbird 2, and i almost bought Thunderbird One and Two,second hand a few weeks ago,in an antiques shop in Rawtenstall, on the way back from a Brownbacks race, but actually bought Virgin and Scott Tracy, and you press their chests and they talk.

I now want a TB2 with a TB4 in the pod.

Also are they the TB`s from Gerry Anderson era, or the newer ones from the new film.

Don't know if new or old - does it make much difference?
Dont know much about tb's at all really besides knowing that I do like tb2/tb4 if any.

TB 2 G A type was more old fashioned looking the newer model is more roundes and looks like a jelly mould.

Both have pods that store the machinery used in a rescue, TB4 was a yellow submersible submarine , that was used to seal a leaking oil well, and it worked, and that was back in 1966.

ok grown ups what do kids like?

i'd find out if already got anything cos' kids like stuff to be in scale - won't mix big and little
yes figurines as role play is what will do - i'd go small if means more stuff - big if can afford

am right in thinking that back in the 60's when i watched it in black & white didn't the guys back in the control room have a cigarette break after a particularly difficult rescue?

can anyone explain why models of TB2 appear in blue sometimes? I don't remember it ever being anything other than green on the telly (well, grey actually, until the mid 70's; we were a bit behind the white hot edge of technology)

I've actually got a TB2 with a mini TB4 and a TB1 and 3 out in my garage I think. TB2 is about 40cm long.
