Has anyone sighted the new Thomas the Tank Engine sets: * 3300 Harold the Helicopter * 3301 Cargo-Loading Cranky here in Oz? My Thomas-loving nephew has his 4th birthday in a few weeks, so I'm hoping to buy one of these sets for his birthday. Kerry (18 years ago, 14-Aug-06, to lugnet.loc.au)

No, not yet - I have been looking for them too. I think they were supposed to be released this month. (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.loc.au)

Good news Kerry! Harold is featured in the Target catalogue starting this Thursday - 20% off Lego. Hopefully Cranky will be there too. Deidre (18 years ago, 5-Sep-06, to lugnet.loc.au)

Well, the 3300 Harold the Helicopter turned out to be an absolute hit with my Thomas-loving nephew (just turned 4). It's got very high play-ability. For those of you not exposed to the world of Thomas the Tank Engine, Harold the Helicopter is (...) (18 years ago, 2-Oct-06, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Saw multiple copies of this set at the Melbourne Myer city store. Check the brisbane equivilant (i think they are grace bros). If you can not source one locally, I may be able to swing by and grab you one. Aaron A (18 years ago, 3-Oct-06, to lugnet.loc.au)
