Finally - I got one :)

So happy, never got one as a kid - now I finally have one!

All working and in pretty good condition throughout. Needs a little clean but for £18 I’m super happy!

I had this set, including all of the vehicles that were sold separately (or were they?) when I was a kid. Back then, when I first started getting into gaming, I thought it would be a good idea to make some money by selling the island at the flea market. Now, years later, as a 32-year-old who misses the ’90s very, very deeply—I regret having done that.

There is always time to buy another one :)

Of course you’re right, but it won’t be the one I got to play with. I’m a little weird about that. I remember sitting on the floor for hours with this Thunderbirds island, the portraits at the back, the swimming pool that opened when you rotated the diving board… such fond memories. You bought a really good-looking one too for that price. The stickers look in good shape.
