I know Ralph believes Sainsbury's don't do toys but .... Sainsbury's are stocking the Auto City Car Club sets on exclusive. See cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-CLUB-AUTO-CITY-PLAY-SET-DIECAST-VEHICLE-/320548322252For an example. Jonathan loves them. They're basically Micromaster bases without the transforming elelment. We need: Hospital Fire Station Airport Recycle Centre Toll BridgePost Office & more than one Car Park Any help appreciated. |

Picked you up a Toll Bridge set, will communicate via PM re. sending etc.
They also had several construction sites and a single police station but nothing else. Assumed you had those as you didn't list them.

Stomski's bridge set arrived Saturday morning. Many thanks ! Now I need to find my chq book - I've a worrying feeling I've left it at Mum's House !
Interestingly the parts in that set are coloured as per the packaking. Jonathan's other one has grey ground structutres and the colours of the upright supports and chains exchanged.
Annoyingly the holes on the base sections for the chains are not the same distance apart so have to have a ramped base on one end and a curved one with a connector on the other.
In other news I bought a set off someone on eBay who then sent me completely different stuff because "the box on what I ordered was damaged". $0d the box, you should see what J's done with the boxes of the ones he has got !

Checked back in Sainsbury's for you again today. Still masses of construction sites and a few police stations and toll bridges but nothing else. Must be the case assortment, huh?

I suspect this is the Recycle/Fire Station/Air Port assortment I saw a couple of weeks back.
I still need the Post Office. Possibly more car park ! LMK what they have.

I wish I had noticed this thread while I was still in the UK. There's a huuuge Sainsbury's in East Kilbride that might have them. If you're still in need come November I'll nip up and have a look  -Nick |

I'm nearly positive I saw these in the window of a closed toy shop (a lot of shops don't open till afternoon during Ramadan, and stay open till about 3 a.m.) in Mall of Arabia yesterday. If the Hubbers have no more luck I'll get the bus out there next week and see if I can spot the ones you're missing.
