    Cant see a picture of buster!! But my son was a Thomas fan for years although i must say i never heard of Buster?

    Smyths and Toymaster both have a good range of Thomas stuff?

    Edited - i googled and saw him - again all i can say is try those two shops, almost next door to each other too!!

    My son is a massive Thomas fan & has most of the engines in the die-cast range. They are around €8 each & we get them in Smyths, Toymaster or World of wonder. With each engine you get a leaflet with all the engines available in the range. I know of Buster but don't think he is available in the range. I will check the leaflet at home later to see if Buster is available. Cian just got Max & Monty at the weekend which are new so maybe Buster is available now. Failing that Buster might be available in the wooden range which you can get in the Early Learning Centre but these are more expensive and are around €20ish each per engine.

    Also for anyone who's kids are into Thomas the die-cast range which are Tomy I think are excellent & very good value & my son has gotten hours of playing with them. They are also magnetic & stick together and are impossible to break.

    yeah we have those leaflets too from the die-cast models, he likes those ones :).. but Buster is not on it :(, just George which is a similar vehicle.

    @Trinity1 you said "all i can say is try those two shops, almost next door to each other too!!" where is this ?

    I have never heard of him but as my son is only 18mths old, i have yet got in2 all of them just yet.

    I had a look at the early learning centre website as i thought they would have him if anywhere, they seem to have lots of different ones but no buster

    Sorry i just saw this now, and maybe i was being presumptious thinking you lived in dublin :)

    Its the big smyths in town just off mary street beside pennys. Toymaster is on one corner of the street smyths is on the opposite corner.

    you presumed correctly, just that there's many Toymaster & Smyths. :)

    I just noticed it actually says you are from Dublin on your sig - how embarrassing :o
