Wow. And they seem to ship to the US too, for decent rates.

I did an amazing order... 20 shuttles, 20 silver cities, 30 fort
apaches. I could not print it out, due to the site being done with
frames... so it may just be a dream. We shall see what Parcel Force
disgorges.

I don't know why they did this, but I really think they did it on
purpose rather than in error.

Hopefully they did it and meant it, and it wasn't someone hacking the
site.

Some of the stuff is on their splash page, but not in the categories.
Some is not, you have to search the categories for it...

Thanks for the tip, Simon.

If you are quick The Entertainer have missed out a zero:

I ordered 3 Space Shuttles (for a £10 minimum order) I had finished my
order and was charged until I realized there was more so I made a second
order:

6190 £2.00
6769 £3.50
6982 £2.50
6765 £1.60
7171 £6.00
7141 £1.50
Shipping £3.

Only one of each.

Somebody at the Entertainer has made a boo-boo :-)  Wonder whether they
will honour it.
I've printed out the e-mail orders and made one screenshot of my
finished order to make sure they send me some cheap stuff.

What a travesty.


I'd just noticed, that looking for these 1857's....wish me luck!

(...) Looks like the game's over. Still a few good prices though. Anyone still looking for the larger "cowboy" Wild West sets would be well advised to pay them a visit. Looks like very similar stock to DYA and Busy Bee (except no trains or pirates). (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.market.shopping)
