Where can I buy a mammoth?

    I want one for the garden. Not a real mammoth obviously.

    Not sure if an adult would be too big, the missus says they're much bigger than elephants. If so I'd want a teenage model.

    I've seen places selling models of the Statue of Liberty, maybe I should enquire there?

    Thanks

    America. You can buy anything in America. Probably Wal-Mart or Target.

    Mammoths? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Mammoths! OP, there's four places. There's the Mammoth Hut, that's on third.
    There's Mammoths-R-Us, that's on third too. You got Put-Your-Tusks-There.
    That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Trunk... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the mammoth complex on third.
    In the mammoth district.

    Its obviously short for mammy moth,

    As in female moth, who is also a mother.

    I genuinely know someone near Galway who could make you one - he once made an animatronic baby Mammoth for a film. But it wouldn't be cheap especially sewing in the several hundred packets of hair extensions.

    Tayto Park have them in their 'ice age' display. Lash an email in their direction and you might find out who made their ones.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,789 ✭✭✭Alf Stewart.


    Aldi sell them.

    They're rebranded as "nammoths" though. That's why yo possibly missed em.

    Find them on the same aisle as eggs/baking stuff.

    Do you know that place Petersons ?
    In Dun Laoghire.

    They have on in Tayto pork. In the Ice walk area. No price tag on it so I guess it is not for sale.
    You would need to have a few scoups and then go rob it.

    Harvey Norman. There's always a mammoth sale on in Harvey Norman.

    Thanks. I didn't really believe I could find one for such a reasonable price. Hopefully I don't need planning permission and the neighbours won't mind (it will be in the front garden).

    You'll have to give us the heads up when it will be on Nationwide or the news:)

    You can get actual mounted mammoth skeletons form time to time. They mostly come from countries of the former Soviet Union. They run about 30-50 grand. Not too bad given they're real and plastic ones can cost 20 grand.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Seriously?

    Yep. Cave bears too. They're a lot cheaper. I've a few bits and bobs of those.

    Actually the mammoth ones have gone up in price now that I think more on it. More like 100 grand plus(outside of fancy auctions with rich guys bidding as dick measuring contests). They're a relatively common pre fossil. Many millions once strode across the landscapes of Eurasia for hundreds of thousands of years. As the permafrost melts or rivers cut through sediments many bones weather out.
